Status Updates From Bad Idea

'Whatever you think you're supposed to be doing, whatever plans the universe has got for you..you're not finished. It's not done. You're not in a box. You have not completed your mission in life, comrade.'
'How the hell do you know?'
'Oh, honey.' Jillian and her frown looked at him for a long moment, but she didn't touch him. 'You're alive.'

'You shouldn't.take it personally.'
Silas turned to glare. 'I am a person! How should I take it?'

We are a race of powerless control freaks

Yeah no, screw this. This protagonist is the worst. Spineless, mean, creating angst for no reason. Ugh. This is so frustrating to read. Silas deserves better.

I’m having a hard time finding the narrative tension here. So they’ve dated, they’re together… Met the friends for a movie night, but there were 0 stakes to that. I guess meeting Silas’s friend? Getting Trip’s comic published? They’re just… living their life together now, and I’m baffled as to what the 2nd half of the book is supposed to be about.

I am holding my breath...
