compared to goon squad, it wasn’t as impactful as i wanted it to be :( struggled to connect with these characters and also i think my least fav chapter of goon squad was the last one where this futuristic technology comes into play. so I guess it’s not surprising that the theme of candy house didn’t completely grab me. tho it did give me a lot to think about re our current social media & tech advancements, it maybe ultimately was just a little too speculative for my personal tastes.
