It was so good. I want to reread it already.
Couldn’t recommend it enough.

my library completely at random, not even reading the description. the themes and concepts touched on in here are extremely compelling. i love a good critique of capitalism and exploration of the way race, trauma, and class interact, though (unlike some of the reviews i’ve seen) i actually wish there was MORE and that it went more in depth.
this didn’t work too well for me as a thriller, tbh. somehow i find it both too slow and too fast paced. it almost felt like there were starts and stops in the tension, and i like more of a slow burn, steady increase in tension, with a lot of access to a character’s psyche. while we got a lot of introspection, the narrative voice still felt pretty distant and ellice never came together as a complete character to me. i think this is just a case of a concept that is very suited to my taste executed in a way that isn’t.
