I think I don’t really “get it” as much as I should but that is definitely the fault of sitting in the same spot for two hours finishing the last 20% of this. I feel so foggy right now. I still think this is a really important book with a lot to say. I loved the quotes at the start of each chapter that related to the content. Overall it reminded me of a mix of The Secret History and Harry Potter.
