I've never read a book written with this layout. I myself am a huge fan of multiple POV fiction, but this added an entirely new layer by also mixing up the timeline and not always telling you who you were reading as. A bit confusing, but overall well written and interesting. A second cousin to The Circle theme wise. Enjoyed and was excited to find and read a new format after reading fiction for so long.
