I do want people to feel sorry for me. I do.

And then I don’t.

I do.

And then I don’t.

“I know no one’s beating me,” I say, feeling defensive all of a sudden. “I know I have plenty of money and a good education. Food on the table. I’m not dying of cancer. Lots of people have it much worse than I. And I do know I was lucky to go to Europe. I shouldn’t complain about it or be ungrateful.”

“Half the time I hate myself for all the things I’ve done,” says Gat. “But the thing that makes me really messed up is the contradiction: when I’m not hating myself, I feel righteous and victimized. Like the world is so unfair.”

I find myself at a crossroads when it comes to my feelings about this book. While I wouldn't rank it among my favorites, I also can't say it's one of the worst I've read. From the very beginning, I felt a sense of curiosity as the direction of the story remained a mystery. However, after having read 35% of the book, I still felt somewhat lost, struggling to grasp the plot’s trajectory.

My engagement deepened only in the final chapters when the long-awaited plot twist finally emerged. This surprise truly caught me off guard and brought a spark of excitement to my otherwise lukewarm reading experience. It's important to note that I hadn't been sufficiently drawn in to try to piece together the narrative's secrets before that moment. Looking back, I can see how the twist was a natural culmination of everything that had come before, making the overall journey feel more cohesive in retrospect.

In summary, I would describe the book as thought-provoking, especially in its exploration of profound themes like grief, memory loss, and the nature of loss itself. Although the writing was competent, I found it to be rather average overall. Would I recommend it to others? Probably not. While the book tackled significant subjects and presented them with care, it ultimately didn’t leave a strong impression on me. In the end, I found it to be a bit forgettable, but I appreciate the effort that went into exploring such meaningful themes.
