this is a quick, engaging read but good lord is it miserable. it’s uncomfortable and all over the place and the vignettes bounce around like pinball, though i acknowledge a lot of this is on purpose. i found a lot of it bordered on misanthropic and the ending speeds through tying loose ends like a bullet train. i didn’t hate it but i didn’t really like it either.
