I was already 80% into this book and still thinking, "Where the fuck is this story going?"
This almost bored me to death, but something about it kept me going — and I'm glad I did. The ending, when it starts to really make sense? It sticks with you.
I love the concept. It was creative and unlike any I've read before (if you've read this and know of a similar one, do hit me up with that rec!) Discussing the concept here, however, would tread dangerously into spoiler territory; so if ever you decide to pick this up yourself, don't read any reviews. Don't even read the plot summary. Read it without knowing anything about it, because I think that would be the best way to enjoy it.
