Chapter 3 is 51 pages long 💀
There are only 11 chapters in this 471 page book

I'm surprised that I'm not completely hating this
Also, I only started this because the webtoon is really pretty

"Hatem does manage to capture one bright spot. He is there to film as two kids, probably four or five years old, throw caution to the wind and dance in the rain. It is a beautiful, reckless scene - full of freedom. I love how children can find hope and joy, even in the darkest of times, just from the rain."

"Why do we live in a world where Genocide has been normalized? I spot a baby bottle in the church, under the rubble, full of milk. What happened to that baby? And its parents, what did they tell her? That this is what a thunderstorm sounds like?"

The villain is literally Pitch from Rise of the Guardians 🤦🏽‍♀️
I feel like if this was written as a children's book it'd be more enjoyable 🫢🫪

Listened to the audiobook for a bit. The audiobook is better...
Also, I feel like this would've been better as a graphic novel. I bet it would've been gorgeous 🤩🤩

Trying to like this book but it's so meh 🫥

THE POWER OF LOVE IS A FORCE FROM ABOVE

My bro Kit is in danger!!!!

I started this last night at 2am...

I'm gobbling this book like Taumoeba gobbles Astrophage.

Rocky's a lover boy

"Well, you're not alone anymore, buddy," I say. "Neither of us are."
Lemme just roll up into a ball and cry 😭

This is so good omg despite the dubious science
Kinda curious as to how astrophage (the alien microorganisms) survive in a vacuum (just googled and the freaky little tardigrades can survive in a vacuum so anything is possible lol)

The nicknames are dogshit
She calls him Trouble
He calls her Little Rose
Lemme go throw myself into a snowbank

Save me please
This book is a nothing sandwich

The dialogue is so bad 😭
Also pretty sure the book is 75% dialogue which equals to a lot of suffering
Also I love my siblings but you'll never catch me telling them I love them unless I want something (the sibling dynamic in this book is just weird tbh like that's not how siblings act in real life)

Characters so 2D they make paper look 3D

I'd say the writing is Wattpad level but it'd be insulting to Wattpad writers

It's not getting better 😭

This is objectively bad...so far

There's something so E.M. Forster about Aciman's writing
Also, I will read the sequel cause I need to know if they find each other again and stay together

I don't think I've ever cried this much reading a book
Like it's not exactly sad but damn it's like an arrow straight into your soul and then it gets pulled out and you're left thinking how did we let this happen??
