Status Updates From Gunk Baby

tragically I dont think I like this book very much, but I feel obligated to see it through at this point

Feeling like I'm being held at arms length from a lot of the social dynamics in this book. I want to be brought in more

the combination of present tense and lack of dialogue tags makes the reading experience feel a bit stilted and overwhelming, like everything is happening simultaneously, folded on top of itself.

Or maybe those are just two stylistic choices I tend to dislike. Most likely a bit of both.

checking out three library books that need to be returned by a specific date is actually a motivating factor that will get me to read. Who would've thought! This is number 2 of 3 :))

First read with Mary! 💓🦷
