It was fine, but I wasn't really interested. I would have finished if for discussion, but not for my own entertainment.

this was a really fun and quirky read. heavily inspired by franny and zooey by jd salinger, but with a new zealand / maori / modern family spin.
it’s pretentious and loud but it’s also tender and meaningful. it’s about how wild a modern family can be but how deep bonds go. it’s about how family treats each other as family.
i felt more drawn to valdin and how he generates excitement in his life and the theatrics he brings.
it’s a book i started and just wanted to keep existing within the realm of the pages.
…
“you live your life hoping something exciting will happen every day.”
“the modern world is too much for me. i feel like i’m george of the jungle.”
