Love love love this book.
The dialogue is so evocative. Even how you see the words on the page.
The narrative is authentic.
The characters are so flawed it makes them so real.
The story drew me in and by the last 1/4 I could not put it down. I think the non-linear jumps around time made it a slight challenge at the start and I still don’t see how it served the story.
