Challenging read for me. It’s such a short book but took me so long to get into. Can’t say I particularly enjoyed reading it but I guess it was interesting? Honestly I feel like the MC wasn’t a bad guy - just had really poor social skills and low EQ, and I feel he could have done so much more to avoid the circumstances he was in. But I guess the whole point is non confirmity and sticking true to who he is.
