The story is good and maybe it was the audio performances that made it difficult for me to listen to.
I enjoyed the story as an Allegory. I don't know that I'd read it again but I did enjoy it and I would recommend it to others.

westernskynaida's review
3.5
Each chapter follows a different person who either lives in this housing complex, works there or the agent who rented out the apartments. The final chapter brings them all together in the climax of what was told in the prologue
There are definitely some deep and hard topics to read about but even then, I’d go back to older chapters to see if I can spot where a name had previously been mentioned or what apartment these people were from

Sims uses the listed content warnings to deliver a scathing critique of society. However, he does not shy away from depictions of mental illness, gore, and trauma. Please use discretion.wayward_books's review against another edition
