This book had me pretty hooked until about 2/3 in when everything kinda fell apart, but I still really enjoyed it. I like these “more about the people than the fact they’re getting eviscerated” books. I partially listened to the audiobook, which was fun; it’s great when you’ve got the whole multiple narrator thing going on. (Somehow I missed a huge plot point towards the end while I was listening in my car and I had to go back and reread the end of the ebook, but hey, merging to the Somerville exit going north on 93 is an attention hogging experience, and unrelated to any of this I need to get all four of my goddamn tires replaced. Cars are stupid. Ok bye)
