Meet Us by the Roaring Sea

I made it nearly halfway and yet I will give up on this.

The main narrative is told in the you-perspective and is interlaced with a story told in the we-perspective. And as grating as that sounds, that wasn't my main issue with the book. I thought the setup was quite interesting - near-future, AIs, compassion, trauma - but the poetic stream of consciousness style was exhausting and the plot itself didn't crystallise enough to make up for that.
