Not a thriller. It’s a lovely story about grief but a bit directionless, especially the last 1/3 where it really falls apart. But that’s very much like grief: directionless, disorganized, and nonsensical.

A very engaging Nothing Much Happens book, with a fun setting in the tech bro industry. Not entirely sure everything fully coalesced (felt like there should’ve been more consequences for the heist, for example) but overall still poignant and enjoyable.

Also if any of Margo’s stories were written I’d read the SHIT out of them

a fine read, sort of forgettable (even if i related *too* much to the startup culture descriptors)
