was not my cup of tea. i understand the point of it, but i found the execution to be uninteresting and unrealistic. lots of good lines in here, the writing was perfectly fine, it’s just that i found the plot to be somewhat weak and the characters unappealing. also, i was frequently confused by the perspective changes.
