If you like Piranesi you might like this so far

…huh…?


I had to go back and check what this book was about like 3 times already. I am intrigued though

WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Wish she could just kill the sexist men to give me catharsis

If you forget what the blurb said, the 2nd half of this story is slightly more interesting than the 1st. But only slightly

Ok so what I have concluded (minor spoilers): The book is NKT about the mystery of the party and the doppelgänger. The party and doppelgängers are a plot tool to creatively compare the universes. This book uses the daily, mundane (for them) lives of average people to have you consider “would you rather have infinite freedom in a dangerous anarchist society, or zero freedom in a safe facist society”.

How do you make a book about parallel dimensions and doppelgängers and a balkanized United States SO BORING? I want to DNF but I feel crazy cuz why does this book have such good reviews? Also I feel like I’m halfway thru I may as well finish.

But what the fuck why has there been an entire chapter about going to the opera

Swapped to this book while waiting for my Spotify audiobook hours to reset hehe

Ok so going into this book I thought that the focus would be the mysterious exit party and the doppelgängers that appeared during it.

I’m 1/3 of the way thru the book. The party occurred at the beginning. It is becoming clear that the focus of this book is actually a post-war disbanded United States and a destabilized world.

If they go back to the exit party now they will have wasted 4 hours of my life

Ok yeah it’s still got potential. They said “the party is wrong” and “everyone was there but there were… extra people” and it’s giving doppleganger

Also the image on the Goodreads cover is the audiobook cover mirrored over the X axis which is interestingggf

The premise reveal of this book was not as intriguing as I’d expected but I’m gonna listen a bit longer and see if it keeps me hooked

AHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK YOU JIMMY OR WHOEVER SNITCHED

Wow Lucy once gave me the same “you don’t know what it’s like to have someone actually love you” rant that the main character just got
