I liked this book but it just didn’t quite do it for me. It was so incredibly slow in the beginning and then when part 2 hit, I got excited. I was interested. The middle really had me but the end was just as slow and boring as the beginning. I really wanted the ending to be this big, exciting ending but it kind of fell flat.
I'm sure that there will be meant Celeste Ng fans who will love this book, but I found it tedious and dull. Nothing ever happened and by the time you figured out what Margaret was going to do, you saw the futility of her efforts and the futility of reading this book to its end.
I had to put the author's politics aside to enjoy this one. I thought the climactic chapter lasted longer than it needed. All in all, a clever book.
