i can completely understand why some people don't like this book. that said, i really enjoyed it!
it did take me a month to read, and there were days i picked it up and didn't have the patience for the story or the main character, but ultimately i think it was... i suppose satisfying is the best word?
not really a spoiler, more just a vibe:one of the reviews on my copy from the library mentioned how it's a really good look at loneliness, and i really agree.
and, as a character study, this book excels, in my opinion.
edited to add: i did also think the stylistic choices used in this book worked well with the plot!
