I had higher hopes for this book. It ends up an unsolved mystery. The mystery wasn’t the point of the book, but I wish it had been. Feels like the book is unfinished. Read it after reading the author’s memoir Superfan. That was funny and honest and poignant. This was none of that. I feel let down.

Amazing beginning, fantastic end. The middle is a little… saggy. But the character work is out of this world amazing.
