Twenty After Midnight by Daniel Galera

4.0

This book was a heavy read. I can't tell if I loved it or hated it. Although it was written in 2016 and takes place in a country I have never been to, it felt eerily familiar with my own life and existential questions and daily challenges. The characters struggle in a world that feels as bleak as our own landscape now and I don't know if it was comforting to see other people navigating that or a reminder of how things don't always change or get better. I didn't realize at first that the book changed between narrators at the chapter breaks so I managed to confuse myself a bit as well.
