It was slow-paced to begin with, and a bit bland, but I believe Haig intentionally wrote it that way so we can feel the same hopelessness & void the protagonist was experiencing. Am very pleased that I pressed on and read the entirety of the story. Makes you think of how you’d live life differently if given a second shot. In addition, that it’s never too late to begin again.
