The prose of this book was jarring. Sometimes sweepingly beautiful and sometimes unnecessarily crass, but really why I didn't like this book was because I didn't like or summarize with a single character. I don't need my protagonists to be "good". I just need to like them. I only stuck with it because I was in the ER and didnt have anything else to get me through
