Fans of documentary style dramas will appreciate the confessional style and pacing. TJR does a masterful job creating an alternate pop culture where none of the characters are real but they all *could* be real. The twist toward the end was nice but it felt a little forced and didn’t really give the reader time to fully grapple with what it meant. It was surprise for the sake of surprise and didn’t really change much about the story. Even so, it was a beautiful yet fun story about complicated people and my only regret is that I can’t on a Wikipedia deep dive about all of them.
