I couldn't get into this book. I liked the concept. I might retry in the future when I'm in a better headspace

compared to goon squad, it wasn’t as impactful as i wanted it to be :( struggled to connect with these characters and also i think my least fav chapter of goon squad was the last one where this futuristic technology comes into play. so I guess it’s not surprising that the theme of candy house didn’t completely grab me. tho it did give me a lot to think about re our current social media & tech advancements, it maybe ultimately was just a little too speculative for my personal tastes.

It takes a whole lotta genius to write such a book.
Maybe one day I will own a paperback version of this and annotate and map the chapters all up and give this book the well deserved 5 star.
“But knowing everything is too much like knowing nothing; without a story, it’s all just information”
No 2 chapters lead you to the same destination, but somehow the book just keeps you connected.

interesting read, but hard to keep track of the characters but could have been bc I read as an audio book. Overall, loved the themes and characters. Will read the first one!
