GUMBALL FOREVER!!!
Ok now seriously… I struggled at the beginning of this one. I loved Wanderers and think I jumped back into the world too quickly. So after about 6ish months I was ready to go back, picking up where I’d left off at 20%. So incredibly worth it.
This book starts slow but once I understood why I was back I was all in. Wendig brings people back without it seeming weird, introduces new people that I was fascinated by and took me on a journey I couldn’t have expected.
Damn… I have this on my list of books to annotate one day. Now that I know how it concludes I want to see how the journey weaves itself together.
