not a mystery, really, just a drawn out story of what a sack of crap agatha married. just making me angry 😂

honestly I rarely continue in books where I feel deeply confused by the first couple chapters, but I just spent a good amount of time re-reading the beginning two after every new chapter I finished instead of giving up. now im realizing the headings “the manuscript” are autobiographical?

I pushed through the very sad beginning and it’s interesting so far, if a little slow. very very nice writing.

poor pookie! …. poor dr. henderson! 😂

he dead! im not sure why I disliked the tortoise book, but I am absolutely loving this one so far. the writing, the characters… it’s all so entertaining and funny!

mmmmmm, not for me, but im literally on a plane with nothing else downloaded

there are SEVEN parenthetical statements on this page.

I don't love when books have an abundance of little (side thoughts) by the characters. it's already all your thoughts, they don't have to be parenthetical. I do like the plot so far though. and love a book that makes me look up vocab!

already obsessed. SO insightful and creative and poignant!

I honestly don’t think anything has happened yet 😂 15 chapters of the exact same thing written over and over and over again. did AI write this book? not sure if i’ll finish.

sidenote, im listening to the audiobook and the narrator is doing accents and one of the accents is trying to be american southern, I think? not sure but my ears are bleeding.

it sure is convenient that your main character loves to write down everything that's ever happened in physical, reviewable diaries. what's the sequel, a filmmaker who records everything? I'm already rolling my eyes at the ending I suspect.

......did I just read "shouldn't of" ?

this writer sounds old. and her quotation marks are in the wrong place.

lucky for this twist, I was SO BORED.

a little “on the nose” as far as details of the two stories entwining, (no mystery here) but pleasant so far

with the time between publications of these books, more recapping would be nice.

first page. that's not what "begs the question" means... am i in for a long book?

please, PLEASE stop with the parenthetical side jokes. sorry to have to tell you, author, they are distracting, most often out of place, and really not funny.

"let me observe that in moments of high emotion, whether triggered by anger or envy, humiliation or resentment, if the next thing you're going to say makes you feel better, then it's probably the wrong thing to say." total genius.

the writing in this book is fantastic. i hope the plot turns out half as good.

wow, already REALLY happy with the writing. took me a long time to start this one, too. don't judge a book by its cover! this was not a particularly enticing one ;)

already a little disappointed... i knew about the first thing the book talks about 😕 (the reason for motion sickness) but he left out half the interesting bit: not only do we get it when inner ear is moving but eyes think we're still (plane/car travel), but when eyes say we're moving but inner ear says we're still (imax/ VR helmet). just seems like a simple, cool detail to have included on this actual topic

utter disgust.
