No

No
fun and cute, i liked the character interactions. my one gripe is how simple the prose felt ? not sure how to describe it but it felt very pragmatic, like "i go here and do the thing" style of writing. it makes sense for some parts of the book, since the focus character is a teenager trying not to die on a giant jelly monster, but i wish that there were more flourishes . part of the fun of reading about a giant monster is all the Gorey adjectives the author uses to describe it, and i just didn't get that.
