I really enjoyed this book. The entire bouquet of characters was really fascinating and well written- Though I can also understand how it could be too much for some people.
It was intense, it was overwhelming at times, it was coming of age. Your twenties. Deep Unhappiness. Finding yourself. Loosing others. I really enjoyed it (though the ending felt less “whole” than the rest of the book somehow. but i can live with that. i have learned to value the experience of enjoying the book more than the ending anyways).
