I love that this story isn't told in a linear way. It jumped around in a way that kept me captivated, but it was always crystal clear where we were in the timeline - I was never confused about what was happening, which I was impressed by. The characters all felt unique and real enough that I was invested in (and frustrated by) their choices.
