This book kept my attention and sucked me in every time I sat down to read it. I honestly don’t know if I loved or hated the ending. It somehow ties up everything nicely and leaves a ton of loose ends. I’m obsessed.

I did not vibe with this book. I found the writing odd and the characters insufferable. Parts of it were somewhat interesting, but others were a slog to get through. I felt like the author tried too hard to distract from the obvious solution with additional twists and details that didn’t really work. I only finished the book because I wanted to know if my guess was right (it was). It made me laugh once or twice, but otherwise I don’t have many positive things to say about it. It beats you over the head with satire, and the “commentary” doesn’t go far enough.
