This...is not a book for me. I found the poor writing to be a detriment to my ability to even make it past the first few chapters of this book. It was stuttering and halting, and I could not find a point of access to empathize with the characters or engage with any of the plot. It might be a personal preference and others might greatly enjoy the writing techniques used in the book, however it is not something that I enjoy, nor is it something that I would recommend even for a summer beach read.
