I love nonlinear stories!!! I love alternate histories!!! I love comics within comics! I love newspaper clippings!

like it’s fine but the depiction of Laurie and literally every other woman in this book is just…ugh I can’t so yeah three stars

So grounded to reality that it, in no way, is an easy read. Exploring the grey area of moral decisions, right and wrong and mostly, "heroes" being just as messed up and "corrupt" in their decision, if not more.
