I enjoy books that present the narration in different ways, so I did enjoy the inclusion of their texts and how the chapters changed vantage points. I found myself having a hard time getting invested in the characters' intersecting storylines and was much more interested when they would go their separate ways. Also, there were random comments in the book that kept making me go ???? I would read them and think "man, these people suck." Ultimately, I found myself speed reading at times because it was just by and large not an enjoyable read.
