dark emotional mysterious sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I genuinely do not know how to feel about this book. Have I enjoyed it? Yes. Maybe. Sort of. It has a lot of interesting ideas, but is either way too short or way too long to explore them in the depth they deserve.
To quote a cinematic masterpiece: "It makes no goddamn sense... compels me, though."
