bookshelves: dnf, library

Well, I stuck it out 'til 30%, but I'm calling it. . . DNF.

Sticking with my update: Hmm...the writing is good, but between the spinning wheel of point of view and social media metaverse, the first which makes me nauseous and the second is repellent, not sure if I'm invested in finishing it. This might be something that wows for it's radical disjointed structure, but I'm not a fan.

Alex I have books with radical disjointed structure. It is often the author's ploy to cover her anatomy and hide the lack of plot and character development. Get away with lack of story. Sadly, these "radical" elements seem to attract Pulitzer prize committee members.
