This is a hard one to review for me. The style was not my typical read (lots of stream of consciousness), and I didn't hate it because it was done okay. Unfortunately, the characters never connected with me (or with one another actually). Apparently saying "everything is connected" a couple times in the epilogue is enough for the writer to tie it all together. I don't think that was enough to make it all connect. Although there is nothing particular to hate about this book, there is really nothing that I will remember either.
