the writing was really good & the dialogue was on point.
unfortunately, i was kind of confused most of the time. i don’t know if this was done intentionally, but either way, i wasn’t fully able to immerse myself in the story. while i felt empathetic to heed and christine, i wasn’t able to connect with them personally because i was confused most of the time. i had no idea what was going on.
and then when some things kind of clicked, the writing style got very abstract and i lost track of what was happening. i had to look at summaries online to piece things together. only then, did things make some sense. only then, did the story become touching.
