smutty chapter 3 was a little shocking!!!!!!!! fantastic writing, story, characters, themes, and non-linear storytelling. literally an amazing book all around.

The writing is good, but I can't really make sense of it all to be honest. I really liked the mosaicism of it all, I liked the characterization, but a lot of included parts left me feeling like, what was the point of them, what were they meant to say. Either I'm stupid or it needed to be returned to and addressed and it never did.
