Last Word A Novel

Overall the story has promise, but something about this just didn't work for me.

The characters were underdeveloped and the withholding of background on them didn't really seem to serve a purpose outside of intrigue. The reveal of that was pretty lackluster and just more sad than shocking.

The book inside a book thing, though funny due to the clear contrast of perception, was just hard to read. I get what TA was trying to do, but ugh I did not like when it was more than like 2 paragraphs.
