Thank god it's picking up the pace. When it switched povs in that second part I felt euphoric. I have mixed feelings so far but I'm planning on seeing this one through

Idk about the pacing. The writing is like a culmination of bullet points "and then he," over and over (I don't mean this literally btw) everything feels so abrupt? The characters introduced have zero presence and I don't feel connected to Ronny or even a little bit intrigued by Ben. I will continue though this might change it's still pretty early

It's crazy how scared I am of Cathy. Especially when she's forced to do something she doesn't want to do, I just immediately fear for the characters because Cathy will get back at them viciously. I feel real fear 😭

Chapter 14 was the funniest thing I've read in a long time. These types of chapters honestly feel like Steinbeck's version of a beach episode. I'm a big fan of that

Can't wait to get to the main drama

Charles really said: game recognises game. I can't wait for more emotional torture

The easiest way to scare me is by having a character doing something completely normal like reading a book or listening to music, and then having it distort. I am so terrified but oh so intrigued

Making me think a lot about how we mourn other people's death, especially when we aren't exactly close to the deceased. And it's getting creepy yay!

It should be studied the way all these characters are growing on me. Magnus is just so babygirl

It's weird reading this, I'm getting bored but I just can't put it down and I don't know if it's the completionist in me or if it's just like that

I'm finding so many grammar mistakes. Also I'm getting bored? I'm still going to see this through though

Was hoping to get really f*cked up with this book, and it has made me cry that one time but I'm getting bored. I'm also dreading some character deaths. And I'm looking forward to the end? I heard the two limbs meet or something like that

I love Kazuo Ishiguro so much and just reading the first few pages makes me nostalgic for his writing. Can't wait to get deeper into the book
