To Paradise

While I found this 3-part book engaging, and I don't mind writing that is exploratory in nature, in the end I did wonder what the point was. There was potentially interesting stuff about power imbalances and alternative histories/futures, but never really followed through with.

I also got the vibe that the author is channelling some self-loathing of her own in the way that she gives characters no hope and/or makes fun of them.

This is a book, or maybe three books, about the same people, or maybe different people, living in the past, or the present, or the future. It's about relationships and secrets and care and love, and who we decide to become, to ourselves and to each other, and what we value and what we betray and the decisions that we make and the consequences they have.
