This book was frustrating, as I loved the concept (a slice of life as social commentary with complex and sometimes morally grey characters), and some sections were brilliantly written (especially the sections exploring the lives of the other residents in the building). But for every spectacular bit of writing, there were equal sections that felt overwritten, drawn out, too rambling, or really laboured the point. I still can't decide how I feel about the ending and

making the stabbing non fatal seemed a bit rushed and made me question the whole point

but maybe it's just not for me! Normally I love books like this, so despite it being an alright read overall with one or two stand-out moments, I was left feeling a little underwhelmed and pretty unmotivated to finish by the end.
