Why not 5 stars? The last part of the book is doesn't feel cohesive with the first ~650 pages. It becomes repetitive, but without adding new insights or twists, and the timing (which is in my opinion the best thing as mentioned above) is off. It feels "just written down" in comparison.
Challenging read, but thanks to the great writing style not as heavy as expected.
Should have included clear trigger warnings on certain topics.
