Did anyone else have a problem with the parentheticals in this book? I’m enjoying it, don’t get me wrong, but the narrative flow is constantly being disrupted and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

I don’t know. It’s not like I’m sitting here saying, “This would be so much better if the narrative was…”, because I’m not a writer and that’s 1000% arrogant af. I just know it’s something I’m going to have to get used to quickly because it’s not allowing me to sink into the text.

I just want to know if anyone else had that issue.
