I thought the storytelling was very interesting, but ultimately this is a book where you need to care about the characters to want to keep reading. I did not care about the characters at all. There was really nothing to make me like them. Any of them. Except Karen. I kinda liked her.

My other issue is that this book seemed to be an ego stroke for the author. She would include these fake lyrics to these fake songs and have the characters be like, "Wow, these lyrics are so profound and amazing. This is ground breaking, earth-shattering groovy music, man." And I just wish she hadn't included them at all. In fact, they greatly detracted from the book.
