I feel like most of my dislike of this book is related to my dislike of the main character. The narrative is her journal entries that she intends to leave behind for her as-yet unborn child. Cedar is  insipid and surface-level fake-pretentious/philosophical. Literally every other character in the book was more interesting. Overall this gave me very much the same sort of vibes as The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, enormously disingenuous.
