This book is so much dumber than it thinks it is. It thinks it so smart, so erudite, with its $4 thesaurus words, and short, staccato sentences.
But it’s fake deep at its finest. It’s a cheese plate masquerading as a charcuterie board.

“If it was Oliver he would have let the corpse rot up there in Rose House and gotten some real work done, as much as he could.”
I’m sorry… the fuck? Murdered people aren’t crimes for cops to deal with in the future? Because an AI tells you about it, it’s chill to just shrug your shoulders and go deal with something else?
The fuck is the point of this POV. This dude sucks.

Knew a guy named Goodspeed when I lived in Maine, so fuck you. Not thought about that dude in years, but he was a real guy with that very real last name. What an odd choice to pick a real name and say it sounds fake.
I’m probably just salty. This book fuckin’ sucks. I can hear the author jerking off through the word choice and needlessly overwritten prose.
