story line and plots were well done even if predictable sometimes with the “mom took the letter from Declan” type.

Writing needs some work, weird words of the writing while being an inside joke in the story is confusing and it feels like the authors real life mixing with the story’s

to many metaphors while not showing just telling the story

Why are they 22?? its so young for the life experiences

kind of feels weird how most chapters are recapped
the key elements of the plot and the events are situated in the storyline at the end of the chapter it doesnt read naturally or even flows normally
dumbs down the reader to be reapeated the stakes all the time and removes some depth of blair’s character independancy to resolve her plot lines in a complex and emotional way rather than logical

i’m officially tired of the « faux … »
this structure is starting to annoy me

it feels like the narrator which is supposed to be in Blair’s voice is talking both in a inner view point AND omniscient voice which makes it very confusing and weird? not personal and characterized. it removed a side of blair’s character because she gets mixed with a very bland informative omniscient writing style.

2 pages in and what is going on woth the writing?

in one sentence its the opposite of « show don’t tell » she is telling us what she wishes us to be imagining and visualazing with clear words insgead of letting the reader feel the vibes for themselves

“a town that feels too cozy not to be fiction”

just make it cozy don’t tell it cozy!

4/5⭐️

Good book well written
so many sentences underlined and so accurate to our time even from the decades of difference to when it was written

book structure is hard to read and makes it hard to follow the ideas exposed

Reread in 10-20 years to understand more of it. Some concepts were quite complex and the wording didnt help much

overall a classic and must read

5/5⭐️

amazing book
so many anotations, thoughts, essays, to be made out of simple sentences Orwell wrote.

very approachable writing style and easy to understand

such a creative approach to criticise political systems and the absurdity of it all
good ending of a circular path the oppressed becomes the oppressor who dies like the oppressor died by the oppressed

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE!

easy way to end the book without actually ending it he is old and doesnt have much lifespan left to go back on earth but the question is still left hanging.
why would rocky not volunteer to do the trip and go with him so he can visit earth?

a bit of an underwhelming way of concluding Grace’s storyline

few sentences where quite repetitive (the heavy g issues, redondancy,…)

finale lacks conclusion with the stratt storyline and tomoeba’s future as a predator (does it just die when there’s no astrophage to eat?)

5-6 ⭐️

such a lovely and wholesome story

i looved the writing style and rocky’s dialogue evolution in the end
the science explanations are so well done and using rocky as a way to explain them to the reader is really smart

main character flaws like “cowardness” get answers
character attachement is real in this book rocky’s cuteness is sticking with me for a while

next post for critique on the ending

2.5-3⭐️

quite boring, not that much of a plot everything is expected
3rd person writing is not for me…
deals with depressive and suicidal themes… idk bad

Juice does not sound like a child at all
Phoebe is boring a bit hateful in her egoistical behavior but often redeemable

i don’t think Gary+Phoebe or Lila+Jim have any chemestry besides just having matching comunication expectations or close age gaps

still reading and i dont like 3rd person pov.

the romance was amazing

Joey’s character arc was really well done she did read as unsatisfied and kind of unsufferable and evolved toward happiness
Alex’s chapter felt a bit rushed and written more as a summary which makes sense

i didnt obv like all the smut and even less the first one with Ellie

It did have the same feeling as severance with this odd atmosphere when the timeline was mentionned

ITS SO CUTE
the characters ACTUALLY have chemistry and they evolve throughout the book
you get attachted to them so much
Amazing writing

i can’t really with the fact that they’re 40yo besides her acting and being the mom of a 13yo, her and Stewart behave like 25-30yo in other romances. This was kind of a struggle to imagine
didn’t like the smut talk/scenes. Not needed for the characters romance

made me cry many times, uses fictional element to show human emotions.

Very sweet very tender you get attached to the characters.

Has some repetitiveness to it with the time travelling concept but still manages to keep a sort of mystery to the events during the time travelling.
