The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

Did not finish book. Stopped at 64%.
Six spectacularly unlikeable people plot against each other (while also sleeping with each other) and explore the secrets of time and space through magic. Even that uninspired summary makes the book sound more interesting than it is. The book tries desperately to make you think everything it says is clever, but it's just not; the descriptions of science and magic felt like dry nonsense and the characters aren't nearly as deep and interesting as the amount of time spent in their heads implies. I read a good chunk (nearly two thirds) but ultimately decided it wasn't worth a minute more of my time and just read a plot summary online instead. Not worth the paper it's written on.
