Just read that one recently. I liked it, just didn’t have enough to say to write a deep review. I know people either love or hate the PowerPoint chapter– for me it was the latter. My other beef was that it gets called a novel, but really it’s a collection of short stories.
More than Good Squad, I’d recommend Look at Me. fantastic.
