This is the most annoying book I’ve read in a long time. I hated it. Unlikeable characters, story goes nowhere, and mostly features the main character in an effed up daydream. I am tired of books like this and disappointed in this one in particular after reading some of this author’s other works and enjoying them at least somewhat. This reads like an angsty 19-year-old white man from a rich family wrote it.
