I really enjoyed the first 70 pages, but then it fell flat for me, and I just became uninterested. The book has nice prose- idk just didn’t really connect with some of the characters or felt bored learning about some of them. And yes I realize they are supposed to be “unlikeable”- so maybe that was the point 

Be interesting to see how they adapt this for film, because it’s definitely going to be a slow burn- interested to see who they cast!
