I am literally 4% through the audiobook and I am already PULLED IN.

I think I would like this book a lot better if I didn't absolutely despise the second male lead. Maybe it's because of prior experience with alcoholics, but I cannot stand this man.

Oooooh I hate Mike with a burning passion right now. What a dirtbag.

This is so flippin' cute.

I gotta say, I'm not a fan of how this book equates standing up for yourself to bullying.

This is quickly turning into my current-favorite book of the year. I'm flying through it. It's introducing me to many interesting titles that I otherwise wouldn't have heard about, and it's nice to see how the literature Kojima has read has impacted his work.

This chapter on Adolfo Costanzo is dragging in a major way and I am so bored with it now. I hope the next chapter is less crime drama and more cult.

This really had me engaged at the beginning, and then it just... sped through some really interesting things and somehow we got to our next destination in like ten minutes of reading time???

Talk about the cult of personality! This man really took people in their weakest moments and manipulated them in a major way. I'd heard about Jonestown before ("Drink the Kool-Aid" and all that), but never knew it was this wild.

I am obsessed with the world-building and character development already. This is what I want from a fantasy novel!

...I don't understand the following this book/series has. It would benefit incredibly from a "show, don't tell" mindset.

Simon is so incredibly infuriating, but I love drama so I can't stop reading.
