This was an intense and often uncomfortable reading experience; I think the author was really smart for interspersing future Daniel with past Danny, because Danny was such a difficult headspace to be in, and if we didn't see any evidence of growth, I'm not sure how many people would have kept reading. I really appreciated Daniel's journey as a character.
This would have been an easy full 4 stars if not for a major aspect of the ending. It felt far-fetched and convenient in a book that otherwise was so grounded in often unlikable reality. I didn't buy the motivation for it, and the book as a whole just didn't come together in the end for me in that aspect.
