I don't know how I feel about this one. Overall, I liked it, and it left me feeling emotional and reflective. But I also had a hard time with the sentence structures, having to reread some multiple times to understand what the author meant. Parts 1 and 2 were super intriguing, and I enjoyed hearing the stories of Bob's past. Part 3 felt too long and less interesting/connected. Part 4 was good, but not as good a payoff imo for the part 2 cliffhanger (ish).
