This book is an absolute struggle to read for the first ~100 pages. At one point, I went on a long rant to my partner about how awful it is. But I pushed through after reading reviews where others had similar experiences. At some point, I finally understood the rhythm of the book and that made all the difference. It’s a great read, but the beginning was so tough.
