maddie_can_read's review against another edition
Very interesting premise but I felt like I just kept waiting for it to get going. The tone and the pacing felt very inconsistent.
Didn't like how some of the female characters negatively talked about their bodies/ eating too much/ getting fat/ food restriction especially since it has nothing to do with the plot. Felt a little sexist and unecessary. one of my progress notes: Why is Izzie thinking about being fat when they have a magical space travelling book?? .
I also enjoyed that Cassie had a female friend to go through the journey withuntil she's replaced by a man when the author is done with her
I also was not a fan of the narrator, very flat and sad sounding, didn't seem to match the characters.
