I’m still waiting for this book to surprise me.

It’s saved by the quality of the writing but so far:

Yes, I know racism is bad, twitter is toxic, history is written by the victors, and the court of public opinion is cruel. So? Tell me a story.

I wish @athenaliusghost was an actual ghost.

Or something would happen in this book.

This book reads a little, at this point, like a vanity fair exposé. I’m kind of waiting for the plot. I like the writing, but idk something about realistic fiction makes everything seem fake? I’ll figure out what I mean later. I hope there’s a big climax to this book and it’s not just a rumination on cultural appropriation and social media and stuff.
