While the storyline was interesting, and the chapters themselves were written well, I spent the majority of the audiobook really confused. I could not figure out what was going on most of the time. Maybe it was just a very different style than I prefer but I just struggled
The writing overall felt choppy in a poetic sort of way, and disjointed and had a lot of characters. It would hop from character to character, current timeline to a future recorded interview of one of the characters, then back to another character. It was just so hard to keep track of or to know what was going on.
When I was in the middle of a chapter that I could grab a thread on, I enjoyed that piece and the writing of it. It just didn’t stay there long enough for me to get into it.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this audiobook. All opinions are mine.
