Urrg the concept has grown on me so much and I want to like this so bad but the writing style is already getting up my nose a little ::;";";' I'd watch a movie/TV adaptation in a HEARTBEAT honestly this really reads like a script with too many stage directions rn. let the action flowww I don't need three eight clause sentences in between each line of dialogue pleze

You can't do borderline absurdist action sequences that require a suspension of disbelief on the level of Baby Driver and deliver it with a tone that demands I take it seriously. If I ever have to read another meaningless description of the sky followed by "What else is there but this?" I'm going to pop a blood vessel this book pissed me off in a way few things can

This is bordering on a hate read this audiobook is so bad???? Every single dialogue line is followed by a paragraph of exposition so nothing flows. Repetitive language is such a pet peeve and constantly you see the phrases 'on the cusp' or 'what is ___ if not this?' There's a bit where Lily and Will are flirting and you see 'but what is college for if not this?' What are you saying. When are we going to steal stuff
