I didn't love this book. In part because of the writing, but also because the audiobook narration was kind of annoying. I probably would have liked it more if I read it.
The writing felt a little like a fanfiction because the plot was pretty predictable and the character growth was lacking. Wallace grew but not in any complex way.
I would have loved to see more of Cameron's story because it could have had interesting parallels with Wallace and Hugo. Also half the characters in the book were only there to have a crush on Hugo. We get it.
