Status Updates From Such a Clever Girl

This may be a wholly me phenomenon, but at this point in the book I still feel like I’m reading about total strangers. I have not connected with these characters. At all. I want to care. I simply… do not. At this point I’m reading out of mild curiosity and stubbornness.

Did I miss a chapter? Or five? Feels like I accidentally started this book halfway through. Who are these people and why should I care? No context, no introductions, just vibes and confusion. Mildly frustrated, cautiously optimistic. Hoping it starts to make sense soon.
