Have you read the summary? Good! You now know the entire book. Nothing happens in this outside of exactly what the summary says just,,,,, more. I guess, if you really like the writing style it's fine, but there's nothing to be gained from this book. I didn't come away from this book with anything I didn't go in with and the story is pretty much nonexistent. 

Important note: this is not a thriller whatsoever, it's just vaguely pretentious literary fiction 

The narrator of the audiobook does a great job though! Five stars for her
