Who is this book for??
The rambling, unwieldy prose is juvenile; it lacks any sense of confidence in its PoV. The dialogue is completely dry and inauthentic; it never feels like someone is speaking, more like a writer is trying to convey information. The characters are flat cardboard cutouts imitating life, traits and personality that feel pointless and tacked on. It doesn't feel like a book for adults, and yet it tries to handle adult subjects. It feels like watching someone fumble uselessly with tools they don't understand how to use. Everything in it is stale.
