Easy read but wasn't a fan of any of the characters.
Even acknowledging that they were all seen through an unreliable narrator's (Theo) eyes, they felt quite one-dimensional and were unrealistically open to interacting with Theo and giving him (a stranger) all sorts of personal details.
This felt particularly bizarre when it came to his colleagues - they all made highly unprofessional choices and continued to make them despite little personal reward.
