In the middle of an argument about infidelity between Mr. and Mrs. De La Crème, Myrracle distracts them by whining about not being the center of attention. And the worst part is that it works: "Her voice and face were so adorable that the tension was momentarily forgotten."
I know that the point is to drive in how much Myrracle overshadows Tookie, but this is so over-exaggerated that it's hilarious.

Tookie has just sleepwalked into a guarded, restricted building under medical anesthesia to overhear an important conversation. I guess that's one way to avoid having to explain how she got in.

Having reached the 1/3 point, some "delightful" "cultural" place names that have cropped up so far: "Taj Gardens in Chakra," "KremlinGrad" (where vodka comes from in this story), "NorDenSwee" (a Norway/Denmark/Sweden mashup), "Fuji" (it's a country in this book, not just a mountain), and "Kwaito, the land of safaris and tribal dance," among many others.

Tyra Banks just mashed a bunch of vowels with accents and called it a fictional language. Yeah, I think I'm done for today.

Barely 10% through and I'm already starting to regret this

Picked this up because I couldn't believe that anything could be this bad: https://litreactor.com/columns/14-thi...
So far, it is living up to all my horrified expectations, and more. (Quick sample of names from the first two chapters: Myrracle De La Crème, Albert Talbert, and Zarpessa Zarionneaux.)
