I don't wanna slam you and I was initially slightly disappointed with it too but I just find that it sits in me still after months and my mind keeps returning to it. I definitely think it's worth it but I was also initially a bit underwhelmed.

Technically true but the delivery is just such that it has the same effect in practice of completely switching the perspective.

Agree. Also want to echo the part about the pay-off coming much later. Yeah, the second person narrative is weird and distracting to begin with, but there's a point to it, it's not just the author trying to be edgy.
