I listened to the audiobook of this rather than reading with my eyes, and I think that colored my opinion of this book. The books narrative structure felt overly complicated - with 5-10ish POV characters over several timelines, many having sections in multple timelines, going by a multiple names, and some even have flashbacks to other timelines while existing in another. The audio narrator used the same voice for all of them. For me, it was extremely difficult to follow and the complications didnt seem to add to the story. I also felt that despite the many narrators, there was not alot of insight into the character who struck me as the most intersting and complex TJ. The book also didnt provide wrapups for several of POV characters which left it feeling unifinished to me.
