I had to read this for school and ok it wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. The actual story was interesting. I didn't really like the writing style though. Sometimes it just went on and onnnn over literally nothing. Once one singular sentence took up almost an entire page. An. Entire. Page. And it was just a character explaining how they didn't understand like 3 phrases. Like you could've just said you didn't understand. And maybe that was supposed to be funny but it just didn't do it for me. The social commentary was pretty interesting. I enjoyed the whole time travel thing. But I don't know if it's just me but the ending made absolutely zero sense to me. Like I'm so confused if the time travel was real or like if he was just going crazy or what. I should probably look that up. Anyways the book was ok. Nothing mind blowing
