Too slice-of-lifey for me as well

Some parts were so beautifully written, and others pure cringe.
I had zero attachment to the characters and their awful relationships with each other. I wanted to see more actual development and working through this issues and instead it was just one frustrating conversation after another.
The first part of the book gave me hope that would be A Little Life - light version,
Further, I had zero love for Marx. When he died I didn’t care. Although I will say the narrative for that part was excellent.
After Marx’s death it was just an okay story. I think the author tried to comment on gun violence in America with that entire part of the story. There were too many holes there. Sadie’s reaction to his death was over the top and Sam’s reaction was not within his character.
Overall, I was okay with this story. I did not love, in fact the last third of the book was a total let down.
