I think this book mostly achieves what it sets out to do, although I'm not sure I care for it very much, and I don't think it's ultimately as ambiguous as it pretends or thinks it is. Despite the nice writing (and it as very easy to read) I could never become too invested in what was happening because none of the main characters were particularly likable. It did transport me back to reading psychology textbooks, but those now feel outdated and make me feel uncomfortable so I'm not sure how grateful I am for that either.
