This was a hard read, not because it was poorly written or anything but because it was hard to relate to. The characters are all so disconnected from life and almost from the real world. Which is probably the point. The characters weren’t particularly likable, the only (very slightly maybe if I squint) redeemable one would be the main character but it’s all shades of grey. I am glad I read it but I wouldn’t have called the read particularly enjoyable, I had to go and watch a Disney movie afterwards to cheer myself up!!
