I had to put this one aside when I reached 40-50% to pick up another book to get out of the reading funk Big Swiss put me through. Afterwards, I was able to go back, continued where I left, and finished the rest in one sitting thankfully.
I like how it started, the middle put me in a reading slump, then the last 1/3 of the book is a mix of I like some of it and I don't know what's going on, feeling lost like Greta does. Ultimately, I don't hate or like it. Just so-so.

P.S. Something about this book is giving me A24 film vibes.
