I like individual aspects of this story. I like the characters, despite usually hating unlikeable characters. I like the mystery. I like the framing device - following three main characters' perspectives and a fourth main character who is mostly a mystery to us. But I don't think it all quite came together for me. I think it would benefit from a reread, but it doesn't compel me to reread it (at least not yet). I would still recommend it, I certainly enjoyed it and found it a compelling read. Truly captures the way that life just happens, and sometimes we never know why.
