A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

4.5

This really was unlike anything I've read before in a lot of ways, and I can absolutely see why people rave about it. I was on track to give it 5 stars all the way until the last chapter, where the details about technological advancement felt very different from the rest of the book and pulled me out a bit. I think I would've been more open to that dystopian/tech discourse element had it been more present in other parts, but it just felt like a distinct shift that I didn't necessarily get/love. Still really enjoyed it though and left me with a lot to think about.
