I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I am inclined to think that this book just wasn't for me, because while I was genuinely interested all throughout about how the different narratives weave together, I couldn't help but feel that it was way too disjointed for my liking. The narrative moves so fast that we aren't given sufficient time to really sit with and understand a single character before moving on to the next. I finished the book not really understanding what the point of it was.
