Where is the Meryn of book1?

I am tired of the multiple POVs...

Add a homeless drunk friend to the mix.

So far the the novel has:
1. tyrannical mother,
2. exiled sister,
3. mysterious dead father (or did he simply run off with a different family?),
4. racist and fat-shaming manager,
5. identity confusion,
6. oppressive expectations,
7. community politics,
8. career dissatisfaction,
9. forbidden-ish attraction,
10. grief,
11. religious pressure
12. organisation of a youth conference a few weeks before the event
AND MORE

Dreamer

I do not agree with Sanderson that this story might fit a horror anthology, but I do agree with him on how callous some people could be

I hate dragons

Dialogue heavy, somewhat ludicrous, but definitely a lot more fun than the previous stories

Imagine if you could design your future offspring's brain and with it the chances of then succeeding at ... sports or arts or whatever.

What an odd story. Captivating, yet kind of weird.

I am running an experiment on how many books shall I complete by the end of the year if I also mark (most of) the books I'm reading to kids at bedtime.

"Forming a friendship should depend on how well two people hit it off and how well their personalities match, not their identities. If I like you, you could be a beggar and I'd still like you. If I dislike you, you could be the emperor and I'd still dislike you. Shouldn't it be like that? It's simple logic, so whether you're human or not is irrelevant."

I am so confused

I like the heroine. Quite a bit. At least so far.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for books that have been inspired by true stories? Fantasy, sci-fi, romance preferred.

I am reading this only for my book club's book bingo. I would have stopped a long time ago otherwise as this story is not engaging in the slightest.
