Didn't grab my attention at all, the characters were dull and grating, and the author seemed to think he was a lot cleverer than I thought he was. 

The only reason I even made it as long as I did is because I was looking for another book to use for the Sri Lanka prompt. 20 minutes in and the three female characters mentioned are already Saintified Mother (nameless, of course), Pushy Whore (every time we mention this character she's talking about her secondary sex organs), and Dumb Love Interest (POV character clearly only likes her because she's too stupid to argue with him but also judges her for it). I don't care if it becomes the greatest subversion of these tropes ever after the first 30 minutes, I'm trying to purge this from my memory. And making a formal note - I HATE literary novels. 

I don't think I've ever given up on a book so fast. The audiobook narrator was awful, which didn't help, but the main character was TERRIBLE. Selfish and irresponsible, the worst sort of romantic teenager, and I'm supposed to buy it? It felt like the author was trying to be politically correct while also talking about why civilians didn't do more, but where she landed was a bunch of characters I couldn't take another second with.
