A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

3.0

I personally don't get the hype around this book. It never felt like I was spending long enough with a character to feel invested in them - a lot of them are unpleasant people, which doesn't necessarily bother me in a book, but I never reached a point where I was able to empathise with someone despite their actions. I did enjoy the non linear storytelling and how minor characters in one person's chapter would then come back as the focus in another.
