I’ll perhaps find the words to describe the particularly odd taste this book left for me. It felt like eating chocolate cake and bitter melon all at once. At times, difficult to put down and other times dragging. I questioned the main character’s decisions at many turns. And sometimes we’d come to a point of agreement. Ultimately, I want to read more of Everett, but I know I’ll have to be in a particular mood. I’ll need to steel myself somehow.
