This was one of the weirdest books I have ever read. Not necessarily weird in a bad way, or a problematic way, but just weird in general. I read it in about three to four sittings.
I gave it 3.5 stars because I enjoyed it, but it didn’t really blow me away.
Matt Kim was way too nonsensical for me. He seemed to make sense in his inner thoughts, but whenever he spoke it was just strangeness. I guess that was sort of the point? He was kind of unlikable; a cheater, a drunk, an inconsiderate guy.
I found the doppelgänger and disappearing stuff to be the most interesting. The way it was described had be invested in unraveling the mystery of it. Throughout the course of the novel, it became more and more apparent that disappearing had many meanings. It wasn’t explained why there were doppelgängers or why some people were disappearing, but it was fascinating!
