5.0

This book defies description. The nameless faceless character is any one of us and absolutely someone you may know. Definitely a tale told in 2 parts.
I almost put this book down part way through the first half. The jumbled and hectic style didn’t make sense to me. Small nuggets of insight and humor kept me going and I’m glad I did. 
I don’t want to give spoilers for the second half but it does get REAL and delivers and emotional gut punch. Check content warnings if you are triggered by topics. By the end, this book will leave you with a confusing mix of awe and sadness.
