Hi, i think that the use given by the author is particularly necessary for the structure of this book to truly work…the payoff at the end makes it worth it! I was thrown off at first too since it is quite unusual to see second person narrative, however I think you get used to it as you go along. I’d press on, if you find the story engaging! Might not be worth it if you just find it boring, could be it’s just not your cup of tea. I hope you enjoy it if you do end up reading on!
