I don’t think I could have read this book in several sittings and it’s really made me think about how you read a book contributes to the your overall reading of the book. Reading this all in one felt like I was in my own sleepy haze of the novel with the world still moving around me.
I’m really enjoying narrators that just aren’t very nice characters at the moment, there’s that unreliability that just makes the book so much more entertaining and intriguing.
I love the era this was written in and the new millennium is such a clever time to have set this and adds a lot. 
Overall, I really enjoyed it and it has definitely left an impact.
