This is dragging esp via audiobook - great premise but I’m dying waiting for whatever the plot twist will be

A bit hitting the nail on the head so far. Feels a little un researched in terms of looking at words coming from different sub cultures vs assuming they came from tik tok because they are funny. For example pg 49, “since the jokes were funny, the meme templates spread, and the meaning of function changed.” Function is used widely across non-Euro subgroups in the US & abroad for parties and this is where it began

Oof

This is a great book but the end is a little bit of a slog

Loving

I love so far

The first paragraph of this page may be the fullest words I’ve ever read

Officially want to DNF at this point bc it’s making me dreary on my limited off time but I’ll just blast through to the end

Masterfully written!! This author is so good at embodying every single one of the characters POVs that he writes from. Like it feels like it’s actually a 16 year old boy, or a 50 year old mom, or a tenured history professor. Literally read over half of this (not short) book just last night

I’m literally obsessed with

Listening on audiobook and physically cringing so much that I’ve been pretending I’m on the phone on my AirPods so I can yell back at the character and make faces and cringe lol

Sped through this book like crazy but the last portion is dragging a little / I’m flipping through rather than savoring

Can’t put this book down but also so so sad

I finished 26% within 1 day of starting, am really enjoying! I will always love a children adjacent / fantasy ish book
