Trust Exercise by Susan Choi

3.0

This book works in three sections, with each section drastically revising the previous in surprising and thought provoking ways. But for the trope to work effectively, the first section needed to be stronger. As the narratives unravel, and characters become other characters, and the twists reveal themselves, it becomes more and more engaging. But for this piece to be a masterwork (which I was expecting it to be) the first high school romance section came across as petty, and this pettiness which is very much a theme, undermines the book's importance.
