It’s ten years later. I’m 26, i’m out, and i’m free. a lot has changed. The book isnt as impactful for me anymore, but it’s also not what i need to hear anymore. i’m glad i had it when i did.

this had so much potential to be cool if it just got proofread a bit and maybe didn’t steal the plot twist. the whole ending i wanted to slap him for being so annoying. i audibly complained so often that my mom had to ask me to be quiet, but it was a fun, quick read, but check trigger warnings!

While the intrigue was maintained, I won’t lie: sometimes, the slow pacing was off-putting. However, the desire to know what the fudge was happening paired with the extremely short chapters kept me reading. I also quite liked Regine and Tomasz.
Thank you, Erika, for pushing me to read this for the last couple of years. I’m glad I finally did. More Than This is better than the Chaos Walking trilogy, even if half the time, I had no clue what was real and I never knew what to expect. Now I can recommend it alongside you. It’s a twisted story, but one that’s worth the read.
Representation
- queer protagonist and side character in a m/m relationship (occurs prior to the story and in flashbacks)
- Black fat side character
