I definitely don’t understand the hype surrounding this book. I thought it was decent, but overall, quite mediocre and unremarkable. I did think it was a nice reflection of human connection and how some people orbit each other throughout their lives. But beyond that, I don’t think it was anything spectacular. The characters were somewhat insufferable, the plot became quite predictable, and the graphic content was actually too much for me.

A big “good for you” to anyone who loves this book w their entire being, but I just do not understand.
