đź“–Review: Participation by Anna Moschovakis
Thank you to @zgstories and @bookhugpress for this book in return for my honest review.
I was intrigued by the premise of Participation - a dystopian exploration of love through two rival groups. However, the style of the book was not the right fit for me. I found the nonlinear storytelling a bit too esoteric for me, but I can see how the short chapters and suspense created through limited details could create intrigue for the right reader. It is possible that I don’t have enough philosophical background to truly appreciate the story and the existential inquiry of the characters. It is creative and interesting, but the style and story was not a good fit for me.
