This was a strange book. Told over one night over the course of a final dinner party hosted by twins Sam and Ilsa while they come to terms with their future.
I found the characters hard to keep track of. I kept getting the exes mixed up, then there is the random South African, the girl who is too bitchy to even want to be best friends with, and a guy who will only talk via a sock puppet. I had to suspend my disbelief with that one.
Li was the shining beacon of pure light in a story that didn't seem to know where it was going. A lot of questions and talking, not a lot of answers or action. The history we were told was annoyingly vague, sometimes pointless e.g. Stan the hashtag guy.
The epilogue/final chapter 10 years later didn't seem to clear much up either. Honestly just pretentious through and through and I stuggled to finish it.
