Apocalypse book for smart people. 5 stars already

I like Tony, he's cool. The way he interacts with and thinks about his daughters makes me sad... daddy issues, I suppose. Finally seeing a crossover of two storylines!! Also, fucking Pollyanna. That was a trivia answer last night that I had never heard of, and now I won't forget it. How queer to have it come up in today's reading. Anyway, Will is landing soon and I must drive to SFO!

So the Game of Thrones references were more than just a cute little reference. 🔻💍😬

I wonder if all the characters cycle through different methods of storytelling for their individual arcs. Anyway, still iffy on the druggie and am worried about the woman he brought home. I like Kate more now (I think?) and was glad to hear she's still with Matt, though it sounds somewhat tense. Still deciding if I like this author...

Intriguing storyline for Kate and Matt. However, I will say it again, I do not like how this author writes female characters. IT IS OKAY for women to be flawed and not conventionally attractive or mysterious and alluring. It feels like I'm reading "Looking for Alaska" (derogatory) and I'm struggling to understand how this book was on the library's "Best of 2023" list simply because of this (major) flaw. Rant over.
