there were some things about this book that i really didn’t like (namely the way that the author would not stop mentioning women’s cleavage and just how some of the female characters were written in general) and i also found a lot of the characters extremely annoying at times, however i actually did find it very interesting and thought-provoking by the end, and even felt quite connected to the characters. the writing was definitely not my favourite, but once i got used to it, i started to really appreciate it and how it built very specific imagery.
