THIS BLEW MY MIND IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY

I haven’t been so addicted to a book in so long! I’m usually really good about putting a book down for the night when I need to start getting ready for bed, but I truly kept saying “one more chapter, one more chapter” to myself each night! This book was absolutely genius. Incredible in every way. I cannot recommend this enough. It was brilliantly plotted, I never knew who I could trust, and it was legitimately scary. READ THIS!!!

1.5

started off strong, but lost all of it in the last third of the story. a lot of current issues buzzwords just tossed in with very little actual care taken on any of the topics, but mostly they just felt crammed in with very little reason or impact. is it demonizing science believers? demonizing spiritual/religious people? definitely constant fatphobic/body shaming sprinkled throughout.

it feels like the most care was taken in regards to drug use/addiction, but it still all felt off, somehow. the ending also feels very.....weird. you ever hear conspiracies that people are forcing children to think they're trans even though it's not true? well, if you actually agree with those conspiracies, then this book is for you! and also you're a horrible person, maybe get off the internet a bit & stop that.

yea, no. not a fan & I will not be reading from the author in the future. thank you.
