The book is split in two halfs, I knew that upfront, and without that knowledge, I wouldn’t have finished it.
The first half was a dread to read, extremely slow and the male protagonist extremely self-centered.
I couldn’t see where this was going.
The second half really made up for that, the female protagonist was way more interesting and the pace was faster as well.
I would recommend it, but not unconditionally.
