Sammy, Monica, and Sampson are deeply unlikable and not in a good way. I often enjoy stories with unlikable characters, but this group was almost unbearable. The story was very interesting, which redeems how unlikable the mains are. I wonder if Sampson was reallly that weird, or if Sammy was just that off kilter.
I really enjoyed the vignettes from side characters that interacted with the mains. It really gave an umph to the story and solidified how weird interactions with the main characters.
