Status Updates From A Different Light

It has/d so much potential. The start was very interesting. I did like Jim as an mc, when his not romanticizing artists like hell.
But right now it feels like an episode of Star Trek. Not too bad, I just don’t like the direction it’s going. I’d prefer page time be spent on something else.
Also, for some reason, I don’t like how Russ is treating Jim. And isn’t 16 y.o. Too young for all that?

I see some similarities with ‘a long way to a small angry planet’ 🤷🤔

oh this is lovely and very comforting

Chapter 14...still not really sure what the book's big plot is but becoming suspicious that the fluffiness I have encountered so far .... IS the big plot :-|

So far, I need the "puzzled" emoticon for this book. 20% in, chapter 6, the main character Jimson has hied himself dangerously into outer space to find a man he has not heard from in 14 years & who the author implies was Jimson's lover. Along the way, Jimson has stalled in a space station somewhere, drawing nudes of the alien woman he is sleeping w/who is definitely not the lover he is looking for. Color me confused.
