I think it would have been a little better with a female author.

Can’t quite put my finger on what I didn’t like about this book. I guess I went into it expecting one thing and got a completely different thing. I didn’t understand the motivations of most of the characters. I’m don’t think I got the point of what the author was trying to say, if anything. At times the writing felt good, and at others it felt repetitive. The cast of characters felt a little one-dimensional and could’ve used some fleshing out (excuse the pun). I wish we were given more time to care about them in the beginning of the story so we could understand this long journey the narrator embarked on. Would love to see a version of this book written by a woman.

overall, i enjoyed reading this. the writing was so digestible and the characters were all so different and distinct. i think my biggest issue was the ending. i did not think it was realistic or well flushed out. it felt kinda cheap imo. also nobody ever talks about how graphic this. i was kinda caught off guard to be honest. please keep that in mind before reading.
