I stopped reading as I felt myself having a grudge against the book which made my read critical and unpleasant
before reading I had heard a criticism that this is written for the tiktok generation with its short sentences and paragraphs, and they were not wrong. At first this was a salve after coming from Pride and Prejudice, but I came to dislike it. For example, I skipped ahead 100 pages and it was giving me enough context that I did not feel lost even though I missed the introduction of a couple main characters (including what the main plot is about).
It wasn't just the aforementioned issue that caused my grudge - I didn't know the book deals with alcoholism - but idk I might revisit if I hear even more heaped praise, and my grudge against it has lessened with time
for my record, I skipped ahead at p49 "...Ali drank gin at night..." and I stopped reading on p184 "...pull the plug..."
