This was my first time reading an adult novel by this author, but unfortunately, it didn’t work for me. While the psychological mystery had potential, it became too confusing and strange as the story progressed. By the halfway point, I struggled to keep up with the plot, and it just became too bizarre for my taste. This was the first book where I had to look up an explanation afterward because I couldn’t fully grasp what had happened.
The writing was beautifully descriptive, with prose that stood out. However, I struggled to connect with the characters, found the plot boring, and didn’t care for the direction the story took. Additionally, the frequent foul language and the heavily woke sociopolitical themes came across as preachy, which was a huge turnoff for me.
I will try this author again, but I wouldn’t recommend this particular book.
