This novel is really ambitious for how short it is. I actually wish it was a bit longer and could of explored some of the scenes or characters further.
It took me a while to warm into this book, the first 50 or so pages jumps around a lot and it's not clear what the main threads are. The prose felt slightly unnatural at first as well. But once the writing clicked the rest of the chapters flowed past.
