Would've been a 4 star if the ending didn't feel so rushed.
Maybe I'll give the podcast a listen tho.

I'm not sure who this book is for. As a fan of the Bright Sessions, it felt slow to just be reading things I already saw happen, again. However, for people who haven't listened to the podcast, they won't be as invested in the characters and may not like the lack of strong plot, and open ending on the AM issues. Overall, it's an okay book but I'd recommend just listening to the podcast instead or before reading.

Just going to stick with the podcast series from now on, I think. It’s more fun to hear this story unfold with focus on other people in this universe, too.

This was SO GOOD and would have easily been 5 stars, except for the ending. The book had so much lead up to something bigger and then.. nothing. Nothing really happened, no issues seemed to be really resolved. The pacing at the end was just way too rushed. I think the novel relies too much on someone having knowledge of the podcast it’s based on. If you listen to the podcast, you’ll get your satisfactory ending and you’ll have more of an idea of what’s actually happening with the side plots and character. But as just a novel, it’s a lead up to a whole lot of nothing and I don’t think it’d be nearly as enjoyable if you don’t already know the characters from the podcast. But the book itself until the end was awesome, so... 4 stars.
