The first third of the book and some chapters with just the main character’s thoughts really dragged on for me. It was a lot of “cheap” philosophy that I didn’t really care for. I was more interested in the plot and character development. I absolutely loved the ending - it was so satisfying! If it had been any different, I wouldn’t be as pleased.
I was debating between 3.75 stars and 4 stars because some parts were really boring - for example, we were given an explanation what coffee was that took a page. Like, I know what it is, I don’t need to read 35 metaphors about it.
I decided to give this book 3.75 stars because it was a veeeeeery light and fast read. It felt like a second draft of the book, the writing was raw, in my opinion. I felt too generous giving this book 4 stars. I quite enjoyed it, but I don’t think I will ever read it again.
