This book is quite a trip, some interesting concepts in it but I feel those concepts are never fully explained. Like stuff happens but you're not given much insight into how everything works. There's a lot of characters and so a lot of shifting points of view which can be hard to follow and connect at times, I felt that I had to sometimes go back and try to remember which character was who and there's kind of a mysterious narrator watching it all which made it a little more confusing. I think there's something philosophical in this book so if you're into existential questions, this might be a good book for you. The book does get quite dark towards the end, not my cup of tea but there is something very real and very raw in it.
