i liked the prose and had a good time with this book, but i am definitely feeling a little disappointed by what i thought was going to be an easy 5/5
my only real beef with it is how ornamental the structure felt. sure, the structure is cool, but did it really add any complexity or ambiguity? the book just kinda reveals its entire hand 20% of the way in...
big bummer :(

Anyway, I’m now giggling at myself in the middle of a shopping centre
