Nope, I just can't.

I'm struggling with this book ... it's probably going to be a DNF because the logic holes are too big and the absurdity factor too high.

Turns out, there is such a thing as too much description/showing. The writing is a bit overwrought and stiff...a millenial doesn't speak like that, let alone think like that. I'm tripping over myself. Interestingly, my first drafts tend to be similarly dense.
I blame the editor - they should've had a heavier hand in the process and guided Parekh better, particularly since this is a debut novel.
