Well, that sure escalated.

I didn't love or hate this book, mostly I'm confused about how to digest it. It feels like there were pieces of multiple stories in here, mixed together seemingly at random in an effort to keep things unbalanced.

Sometimes scene changes move the story from relatable to completely off the rails without warning, and in some cases it's effective. More often I found myself asking "What the heck am I reading?" though. I'm still not sure how to answer.
