Thank you for reading it and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
The repetition and disorientation were very much intentional, though I completely understand that the structure won’t land for everyone. The book was built as an experimental piece about looping through moments we can’t change, with each cycle adding or shifting details until the larger picture starts to form.
That deliberate, methodical rhythm is part of the design, but I can see how it might read a certain way depending on how someone connects with it. There’s also an annotated version that shows the mechanism behind the book and how the repeated sections change across the cycles.
