[3.5 stars]

This had moments of being a four or five star and moments of being a two star so I decided for something in between.

I'll start off by saying that this is not my type of book at all. This is an adult novel, kind of contemporary but I'm not exactly sure what genre this would be in (maybe literary fiction?), written in a very strange style, and is very much character driven and not plot driven. However, for a book where not much happened, I wasn't bored all too often. It definitely kept my interest throughout.

Unfortunately, I found this novel kind of... meh? I'm not sure exactly how to explain it, but I didn't often find myself emotionally changed by the events and the characters which is something that I expect from books like this. I think honestly that could just be because of my age and the fact that I don't have much in common with the story. I think a lot of people could find this gripping and be truly affected by it, but I just didn't feel that way.

The reason that this isn't a four star is because of the ending. Not gonna spoil anything, but I was expecting something a little bit... more. I think honestly I was just expecting more in general.
