Not sure why I didn't enjoy this/get past the first few pages the first time round, it's been a lot of fun.

We're suffering from a severe case of Proper Nouns and Necessary Exposition right now...

Girl do NOT get back together with that boyfriend! He is a loser!

It just feels like it's trying too hard.

Well that's it I can't read another book ever again.

WELL THEN.

Oh okay now it's getting a bit more interesting.

FINALLY.

How refreshing, SF author describes Sarees In Space™️ in a realistic non-fetish non-have-you-ever-seen-a-real-person-wearing-a-real-saree way (yeah, that's looking at you Indrananan War series).

Ugh. I hate you Theo, and I hate your mother too. You are actually the worst and are dragging out this plot entirely too long for no reason.

I'm really annoyed by the interviews. I wish I was reading this in paper so I could just skip forward and know how much longer before getting to the actual writing. This feels like someone's xanga.

I mean why bother to set this in future Nairobi if your characters are just off-the-shelf European and the only set dressing is "slum".

There are a hell of a lot of thrilling moments in this book.

I am really enjoying this book but the email trails are a bit too much. I'm getting confused!

omg the 80s called and they want Val Con's pirate ruffle shirt and red velvet trousers back.

I really need to finish this but I find it boring and they really aren't making much progress... like me! I'm regretting reading the reviews that say they don't see all that much of desh as well.

Yeah I'm in love with this book and everyone in it.

And the credits, where we find out who spent all that time on the Internet and watching KUWTK on their DVR last July while Sean swanned around LA skiing whatever "research" was a euphemism for.

Ah, finally, the tl;dr.

This horoscope is like a billion pages long.

And random horoscope in the back? Because?

There should be a god who holds that her sole purpose is to smite journalists who use the term "heart of Silicon Valley" to describe places definitively not in Silicon Valley.

Sean is now recapping the last season of KUWTK. If only I could get paid for my love-by-line recaps of my shit TV habit.

Hollywood should make a rom-com out of the Kim and Kanye story. No. It should not.

TIL Scott Disick was a cover model for 90s teen romances.

Things Kim Kardashian isn't good at: singing, dancing, eating burgers.

Shout out to that heavy hitter for Hollywood celeb gossip and music criticism: The Liverpool Echo.

Sean, you're telling me Keeping Up With the Kardashians is STAGED? And they hire ACTORS? For SCENES? I am shocked. SHOCKED.

"As it turned out, Robert Kardashian would never have the opportunity to walk any of his daughters down the aisle." Sick burn bro.

I can tell I am not the target audience for this book by the number of cringy discussions of "interracial relationships" or, in the year 2016, where I'm from, "relationships."
