Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.

This book could have gone better, and I read the first few pages and fell asleep. I still want to give this book a chance in the future, but for now, it's the densest writing I've ever come across that wasn't academic writing. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I knew what the words said but put together made my brain mushy. It was so hard to keep up with everything that was going on.
