Okay, so I normally love Colson Whitehead and finally got around to reading this which has been on my shelf since 2021, and i just could not get into it. I was surprised - it even took place in an area I'm extremely familiar with, but for whatever reason i just trudged along. I couldn't keep track of all the characters, my attention span was just not with it and I had a hard time following the plot. I decided to finish it mostly because I kept hoping it would get my interest and eventually it was too late to give up, but I am not recommending this one as I normally would with his books.
