Ugh, I was really looking forward to this. I’ve loved the author’s other books. But at 30% in, you shouldn’t be lost and have no clue as to what the point is… yet there I was. Look, it’s probably my fault. Or maybe it’s the fact that these characters all have the most generic names ever and so I can’t tell Edward apart from Jack apart from Chris apart from Alan. Why did I have the hardest time keeping track of who was who and who was when? OK, you know what, maybe it’s not just me - because at least two of these guys would sometimes be referred to as their first name and sometimes their last. I’m officially calling it — not my fault.
Halfway through, I went back and wrote myself notes about who was who. This helped a little. But I still just didn’t see the point, didn’t feel connected to any of the characters, and the whole thing was just a big bowl of Who Cares.
