I was so confused by this book. I checked a few times to make sure this was the first one in the series ( it is). I don't even know what genre this book is. There's a ton of characters but they're not distinct enough for me to keep track of who is who. They give you nobody to root for, nothing really happens. The writing is not great. The audiobook narrator does his best with what he has. I cannot fault the audiobook narrator, all of these stars are for him doing his best with what he had.

There’s no reason for this book to make sense, but I don’t love it any less for that. Nora Sakavic does an excellent job of drawing readers into the craziest story she could tell while making it engaging and encouraging readers to root for the characters. I adore Neil and want the best for him even though this book tells you almost nothing about him. 

Plot gets a bit wild at times and it’s all super quickly paced. However, the perspective really makes it work and gets readers into Neil’s mindset. Sure we don’t exactly learn a lot about others, but Neil’s an exceptionally well-done unreliable narrator, so of course we wouldn’t. Overall, this is a book that’s easy to binge, but definitely check content warnings for it and others in the series because they’re intense.
