overall i really enjoyed the refreshing style and introspection that this book holds. as a debut novel i think that it’s impressive especially the format of the chapters. a page turner, however i definitely struggled more towards the end, some of the content of the main characters fiction was confusing, as well as the timelines. the ending felt anticlimactic and i was thrown off by the author quoting trump as well as the fourth wall breaks (do you call it that in books?)
