Bit too weird for me. The ending brought it together but definitely too long chapters and too many miserable characters!

Really love the premise, the purple prose, and the mystery of the apartment complex’s inhabitants. I wish that the plot was a bit more fleshed out for some of it.

not for everyone - I didn’t even think it was for me at first. but the more I read, the more I enjoyed it, and the more intimately attached to the book I became. weird and wonderful.

 Loved the writing. Very human. Didn’t like that Blandine lived in the end when the entire story made it seem like she had died. She was quite obnoxious to me, especially in

her final conversation with James in the car

While I did find this book to be interesting, there were some moments where the characters were a bit too pretentious. While I did appreciate the various themes and social commentaries, I feel like it was hammered in a bit too much at times. One of my favorite aspects was how interconnected the characters were.

The writing in this was stunning!! I felt like underlining every sentence but I managed to restrain myself. The disjointed narrative did hinder my enjoyment as I found myself just wanting to know what was occurring in C4 but there was good payoff at the end. The last chapter was lovely.

I really enjoyed this book because the characters felt very believable
 They were unique and flawed and I liked and disliked all of them for different reasons (except Moses). It was a bit all over the place and didn't quite stick the landing bringing it all together, but there were many beautiful and fascinating moments I'll definitely continue thinking about. 

I think this is one of the best portrayals of a statutory rape situation I've ever read. The writer does an amazing job acknowledging the complicated feelings both people have, while consistently condemning it completely.
