I really enjoyed this book's exploration of different identites. I'm not generally a fan of character vignettes and they can be hard to get right. I like how diverse and contrasting the characters were despite the fact they were all connected. I did find it confusing to remember how some of the characters were connected so I had to go back to previous chapters and reread them. I did find it interesting how certain events are experienced from multiple perspectives.
