A good twist to the story... Practical outlook

This book was just meh.I really don't understand what the author was trying to do with the narration or plot. It was just a repetition of a simple incident over & over again, atleast from 3 or more POVs. The fact that the story was so underwhelming, characters just acting as jackasses & plot progression almost NIL; I don't feel like this is a worthy read. The whole book is just so long & the plot was so short & stupid. I think if this was a 100 page story, I could have liked it. There was no OMG moments also.
