This one just didn’t quite click for me. I could see what it was trying to do, and the writing is definitely thoughtful, but I never fully connected to the characters. Because of that, it was hard to stay invested in their long, complicated history.
The story leans a lot into big ideas and creative themes, which is interesting, but it felt like the emotional side got a little lost for me. The friendships are messy and intense, but I didn’t feel much warmth or attachment to them. Instead of getting pulled in, I felt like I was pushing myself to keep going.
At times it dragged and felt a little self focused, and overall it just felt heavier than it needed to be. I kept waiting for it to really hit emotionally, and it never quite got there.
In the end, it just left me a bit disappointed. I can see why it works for some readers, but it wasn’t the right fit for me.
