“To be or not to be, that is the question”

The novel switches back and forth between Ruth and Nao, and while I generally didn’t have any issues with Ruth, I was always in a hurry to get back to Nao.  However, Ruth decides to read the journal at a slow pace, basically only reading as much as she thinks Nao wrote as a time so there is lot of switching back and forth between the two characters.  Ruth’s sections discuss much about the impact of globalism and climate change on the environment which I actually find interesting since it’s a topic that I’m drawn to/terrified by.  However, there are also points where Ruth is a bit irritating and dense.  Full review.
