I really liked the idea of this book and wanted to like it, however, the book failed to live up to my expectations. The book meandered about in different timelines with ill defined and differentiated characters. I felt confused a lot. The future didn’t feel coherent. Early on it was obvious where the story was going and the ending wasn’t satisfying. I found some of the topics discussed by the author a bit on the nose and inauthentic. It felt like the author took a trip to ATM as a tourist and wanted to write a book about it… But she makes an erudite local character to talk about tourist gaze so it’s ok?
