4.0

At first I loved this book but then there was a long period of words and pages I did not love - it was just okay. All the drinking and alcohol was a bit of a jumpscare and all the beautiful words about loneliness and the chaotic, yet so quiet world, were buried deep behind the drunk thoughts.

When the book came closer to the end I fell in love with it again. Ending was really a beautifully written piece of modern literature.
