My favorite part of this read were the themes and ideas presented in this short story. I felt like the end was rushed and I could pick up on what the “big plot twist” ending was going to be around halfway through the book. Not a huge fan of how the book jumps around randomly in time and found that to be confusing and, at times, frustrating to follow. Overall, I feel unsatisfied with the ending, character development, and conclusions upon finishing.
