This was... definitely interesting! Not my usual flavor of book, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Slow in some parts, some complicated inner workings someone with a larger brain than mine would most likely devour. Jamie sucks, I won't lie! He tries his very best then makes some bad choices, which I LOVE to see!! A lot of the characters felt so human and real, and I was surprised how much representation there was (I see you, NB character!!). I didn't find the ending super satisfying, but it was more of a critique of the world of capitalism and consumerism. This takes place about twenty years in the future, and the development in the world felt believable (and a tad depressing, heho)
