The writing was SUPER awkward. Like the author was trying to be poetic but it just didn’t sound right.

I think it was very interesting to see how much care and attention these works put into their jobs, even though I feel very bad for the author because you can see that these interviews really affected her.

It’s analysis we’re very interesting and I’m glad the author wrote additional annotations because they added a lot of context that helped me understand the author’s explanations.

I really loved how the different timelines connected together. I was doubtful that it would work well but it did. The pacing was a little wonky and the middle of the book was pretty slow and hard to get through.

So was there supposed to be more cause the entire middle section of the book was missing. Like noting actually happened. There was a beginning and an end but no actual action.
