It's weird, but in the kind of way that kept me turning pages to try and figure out wth was happening. There's an odd exchange between characters super early, and that hook - so nonchalantly dropped - isn't resolved and revealed until almost the very end. It's very satisfying. I don't know if the jumping around will bother some people? It's a lot, but if you can roll with it, it does all come together. I did get a little teary about one relationship, so I can say the characters are deeply explored and feel like real people. This one was a lot of fun, and I think it would make a great movie.
