Such an interesting format and it works well!! I like how the characters, no matter how little or how much they speak, have a life of their own. Very much a showing rather than telling novel. I like how complex the characters are and how it very much did feel rock'n'roll.

I know that they are reading as the book is written, but for some parts, it was difficult to track who is speak and who is who.

I couldn’t enjoy the book fully until closer to the end when everything was coming together. But it was worth it ! This isn’t a book with excitement and adventure, but having the steady pace and mellow vibe (though the content is heavy) really made me appreciate this book. It definitely reminded me of why it’s important to slow down and read thoughtfully. :)
