Like many others I’m pretty disappointed and put off by the last 50 pages of the book. I think the author was going for something maybe different to how it’s perceived but regardless of intent it still feels pretty harmful. It’s disappointing considering how much I enjoyed the book up until a certain point. Certain aspects could have been handled with more care.
