Hm i don't know how to feel about this. Because tbh it was a BORE to get through. Like the first two thirds? I don't want to experience that ever again. Everything that happened was a constant flow of nothingness - drugs, parties, indifferent dialogue and the protagonist feeling numb in this world.
And it's just not something I would have ever picked up for myself. Like reading it didn't felt good. Not once.
And I get it. That's the point of it, but I just wanted sooome sort of plot line. Which I got in the last third, where it really picked up. It's just wasn't soon enough.

I am for sure happy that I went through with it and kept reading. It's nothing I'd have experienced otherwise.
But would I ever recommend it? Hard to say yes to that, but I somewhat get the appeal and importance of stories like this.
You'll have to decide.
