Honestly, I just couldn’t get into this book. While I liked the unique aspects of it such as the formatting I just couldn’t fully grasp what was happening until a good chunk into the book. I think this book would be great for some people but I just wasn’t one of them. It was kinda a mess for me but for the right person I could definitely see why someone would like it.
