I really enjoyed this book. It's quick, but it feels incredibly human. The format seems to mimic the dizzying effect of sudden grief and the quagmire of emotions between love and hate and loneliness and longing and then trying to pretend that you're okay enough to keep participating in capitalism.

I flew through this. The poetic prose is different but i got used to it quickly.
The moral ambiguity (or obviously bad) choices and thoughts of the narrator was my highlight. This wont be for everyone.
