 This book could have been an email. It is bloated and ponderous, running nearly entirely on vibes. It picks up a bit towards the end, but two kind of fun chapters at the end are not nearly enough to salvage it. There are too many POV characters and while they all sound the same, you can still tell which ones are the author's favorites. And they are all annoying. Also, it does not need so many references to memes. 

This is just pretentious word salad that is not nearly as smart as it thinks it is.
