No

No

Yes
While I think this book did what it intended to do, it could have been shorter and still gotten the point across.
I liked the POV of this one and that the reader is essentially a character in the book themselves, however, I go bored about half way through.
I get it, and the character was definitely written well, because I believe if they were a real person, I would have wanted them to stop speaking after day 2 as well lol; but I wish the book was shorter. After a while, it became repetitive and rambly.
It would have been more impactful if it had been shorter because I would not have lost interest.
