unsure if i want to continue reading this. All the characters talk in exactly the same way. Cute and endearing but just. exactly the same way

I have to admit i’m just pushing through because my libby hold is about to expire. I just cannot get myself to care for any of these characters, i wish they had more depth

first story was great second was good the quality is steadily going down id hate to dnf this far into it

By the time I start to get engaged the character pov changes this is taking me forever to read

I'm so stressed

So far I can't help but think that we are supposed to see the protagonist as young and ignorant, and infer the politics for ourselves. Especially the bits that mention the US-Taiwan relationship, the random guy who wants to work with the DoD, israel mention, the #freetibet right next to #standwithukraine etc makes me rather think we're supposed to see the absurdity of it and not see it as her endorsing those views

Tiananmen square tank man didn't die but ok

yes I'm making progress updates every 3-5% but it keeps me motivated so feel free to ignore xoxo

I am embarking on a journey

I would be enjoying this a lot more if it weren't for the random mentions of people who "served the nation in the war against Iraq". Also has a mention of someone who served in Vietnam. None of those statements are challenged or anything either
