4.0
a very good book! took me a bit longer than usual but the entire book was so worth it the whole time. towels is a v great author to me and he just exemplifies it in the book. i adore the change in povs and specifically the character tone shifts/diction. it’s amazing to see the man’s talents when it comes to putting on the tone/voice that is absolutely needed (and completely fits the characters)
