Status Updates From Don't Die Alone, Lucas Cook!

There's missing punctuation. In the prose, not the text message excerpts

How can both chapters 47 and 48 be at nearly midday when there's a pretty lengthy and emotional conversation in there?

Also, the frequency of these kids missing school is sending alarm bells. Mainly Sophie and Max

Wait, is Laurie a boy or a girl? Genderfluid? Last scene they were in it said he, this scene says she.

There's an editor credited, but I'd love to see the proof.

The constant "why am I like this?" Feels like a rip off of Alice Oseman and that gives me an ick. They're a little misplaced in the text, would be fine without it

I'm a few pages on, but continuity error: Lucas read out his project, some kids gave feedback, then the teacher did. Then the teacher opened it up to the creative writing group. Who are way harsh in their feedback. But yeah, editor should have caught that

I've been loving this book so far despite my brain wandering about, but oh, do I hate the slapstick scenes in a book. Lucas and Grayson could have had a perfectly awkward first date without the absolute clowning of the last couple of pages. Also, the dad is way OOC in the last chapter. I'm disappointed in an otherwise 5 star book
