I did not realise there was no plot when I started this book and I'm not sure I would've picked it up if someone had told me that but I'm very glad I did bc I thought it was excellent 
I loved the whole thing of a background character in someone else's life having their own story and all the tiny and big connections between them all 
Even while covering such a wide spectrum of experiences every section felt super personal and had its own voice and I feel it's one of those books that makes you feel like you understand the world better u know I will definitely continue to think about it
