The style is compelling that you want to keep on reading. Each chapter has a slight different style to capture the voice and internal world of the main character it’s focusing on.

However, I got lost with characters and who is who, especially if you get back to the book after a while. I’m not a fan of diving into random characters who seem to have some links together Linkedin style but not actually have a common storyline thread.

I originally wanted to know about Lucy Barton since she seemed to be the character of interest with some suggested trauma. But midway through the book, it seemed to move away from that intrigue.

Because of that, I’m not left satisfied with this book’s story despite how surprisingly enjoyable it was to read.
