Thoughtful Review. I read this back in October and liked the connected short stories all set in one place. I, too, found some harder to follow than others, but I felt it was well written and immersive. I will definitely look into his next book. I heard the author on The BookCase podcast (with Kate and Charlie Gibson from GMA) and it made me want to read the book. He was so interesting.
English is my second language, so that writing style can be difficult at times. Nonetheless, I like how it pulls you into the character's world. The premise of the characters kinda reminds me the movie Emily the Criminal, with how emily herself delves into extreme measured to earn money. Adding it to reading list : )

This is one of those books I appreciated even if I didn’t enjoy the reading experience. I found it super stressful but that was the point.

I loved this book and think of the characters often. It doesn't get enough attention imo so thanks for sharing!
