I wanted more from this - the whole story revolves around one character's perspective, the plot is so slow it's almost barely there, it's quite repetitive, and the central theme never really evolved for me. I kept reading thinking it would ramp up but it never really revealed itself. I did like the writing and thought the characters were interesting, 3.5⭐maybe??

I kinda read this in preparation for The Books of Jacob by the same author, so I'm hoping this halfway prepared me and will be better
