4.0

I struggled to rate this book because I can’t capture how I feel about it easily. Despite having no overall theme or ultimate “point,” this collection of memories was still moving and interesting. The perspective shift halfway through threw me quite a bit and I had to adjust to it for longer than I should have needed. Also, the ending (the last 2 chapters) was underwhelming; the purpose of the story was unclear, and I didn’t feel it was a strong end. The last page or two, though, was quite strong.
