Experience 9/10
Story(ies) 4-7/10 depending on story.
So personally I didn't find this as complex as I was lead to believe it would be. I was amped and ready for a difficult, harrowing read and did not get that. I did annotate though most of them where me ranting about how shitty everyone was,

except Tom. I loved Tom and nearly cried for him. RIP Tom you didnt deserve what happened to you.

The parts I really enjoyed where more towards the end and I wish where explored more.
