3.0

That was… fine. The plot was pretty boring and felt low stakes, so even when the more interesting sci fi elements were happening my overall impression was one of flatness. The writing was fine, I didn’t really care for the style but it wasn’t bad either. I enjoyed what it had to say about grief and being stuck in the past, but I just didn’t care about the tv show side plot and felt largely confused about the “commuting” aspect. I’m thinking if this was just a bit longer, or if more time was spent digging into one thing instead of every element this book introduces, this would have been a stronger book.
