Unique writing style, sort of like a podcast transcript. I personally enjoyed the creativity and change of pace but it’s not for everyone so keep that in mind. I have no doubt this would make an amazing audiobook. This book is quite graphic and is recommended for those 18+.
The premise of the book is very interesting and creative but it didn’t meet the expectations it set for itself. This book is trying so hard to be shocking and different that it failed to have a fluid storyline. It was too all over the place and was missing things I consider to be important while over discussing other things. Although I do enjoy the writing style I don’t believe it was the right choice for this particular story. I think the style was a big part of why it felt like there was so much missing. Additionally I found the big reveal of who Wyatt James truly is disappointing.
