It’s a story that makes me uncomfortable in the best of ways, the narrative is so brimming with personalities.
I didn’t know anything about this book, my sister borrowed it from the library and I picked it up and just started reading. While the narrative style isn’t heavy, it took me a whole to get used to it and by that time I had already been thrown several curveballs.
I’m not sure if knowing more about the plot in advanced would’ve improved the experience, as I think I probably would not have knowingly picked up this book.
