It was a good book! It was just SO antisemitic and racist, and that’s not excusable by historical context.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

I was not really a fan of the lyrical writing style, and the character’s anxiety started to fuel my own. It wouldn’t have been healthy for me to keep reading.

5.0

This book was not initially a five-star read for me, but I didn't get why. It has, hypothetically, everything I want in a book. It just wasn't life-altering. So I gave it 4.75. But now I've changed the system and anything that captivates me like this book did to where I can't put it down gets a 5.
