Weird book, I liked it. There was more religion and god then I expected, I would have preferred this to be a novella. It feels a little long, a lot of the same things happening on repetition. Though I think that is also the point, at least one of them.

This book about an apartment building that isn't quite as it seems had some interesting ideas but it didn't 100% work for me. The concept is great and I loved the ending, but I think the middle took too long (we linger on some povs WAY longer than we need to) and there are a lot of typos including in characters’ names, which could make things confusing.

Honestly the most exciting book I’ve read in a long time. I can’t explain anything without spoiling it.
The cast of characters changes seemingly with every chapter, yet it doesn’t ever get confusing. The characters and story were all super intriguing. Really gripped the whole way through and couldn’t wait to read it.
