How much I wanted to keep reading at the beginning, middle and end, then which way it went once I'd closed it.
Multiple narrators, not too many, but bounce around a bit. It was set all over North America, but the author did a good job with setting. It was a bit meh as I was reading it, the characters came across as super shallow. You don't learn much about them. As I was reading it, that was a bit irritating.
Upon completion and reflection, that was part of the story that was being told. So while the book was a quick read, and I didn't improve as a person from reading it, it was clever. And that is the redeeming factor of this book.
