it’s a book that will make me think for a while. i don’t know what to make of it. i want the world to be a better place and this book doesn’t show that kind of possibility. so, is it a depressingly cynical story? or is it an exploration of three deeply flawed humans and their search for belonging, meaning, and identity? is it a good book if i recognize it is a genuinely amazing construction of very real and round characters, but i despise one of them with every fiber of my being, making the reading experience rather tiring?

I feel I have learnt nothing by reading this. I am confused as to why I even finished it.
