This wasn’t for me. There really isn’t anything I liked about it, but I can see why someone would like it which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. It’s not my thing. It was very dark, very explicit, and very weird. I didn’t like any of the characters and the story was pretty absurd to me. I also found myself constantly confused. I’m not sure if it was because of the time jumping or is why, but I felt like I never knew what was going on. I just wasn’t a fan, but I can see why someone would enjoy this read.
