Parts of this book were great. Little hints at how each characters' story overlapped make you feel like a genius figuring them out.

But overall I had to force myself to finish it. The one important female character hated every other woman she came across in a really annoying way, the stream of consciousness writing style was meandering and often felt pointless, all the slurs and CONSTANT talk about rape felt more like an attempt to shock than an attempt to really say anything.
