4.25 AVERAGE


3.5 stars.

This book was a bit of a weird mix. There were some great insights into mental health, life, and being human, and I really enjoyed how all the characters lives pieced together by the end. But I thought that their ‘quirkiness’ and some of the conversations felt a bit forced and the humour missed the mark most of the time for me.

Overall, a nice light read but not a favourite for me.

DID NOT FINISH

I would probably try again. The beginning was very jumbled and confusing I understand there is a purpose for the story telling happening this way, I'm just currently not in the head space to be able to take it all in.

The writing in this was undeniably 5 stars, but my enjoyment of it was 4 stars- so I’ll give this a 4.5. It took a while for me to get into and I didn’t feel super connected to any of the characters- but can recognize the creative plotting for what it was.

On my life this book gave me anxiety at how it was written and the chaos of it all x but it was so good (!!!) I think I’m going to watch the TV show now. Definitely top 3 of the year and really enjoyed all the twists and turns, how everything linked together, and how well written all of the characters were. I think a lot of books that have more than like 3 lead characters really fail to showcase them all but this booked slayed at that
