haha damb. wonder what it was like for sarah pinsker to put this book out in late 2019 & then uh, y'know watch 2020 happen lmao
anyways idk i think i wanted to like this more than i actually did. maybe i'm just too jaded & shouldn't have pinned so much hope on this book being able to remind me why i used to care about things that used to be such a big part of my life? i love how there's clearly so much passion and idealism built into the story, and even though i agreed with all the points, i couldn't help but be a little put off by how preachy/soapboxy the writing could be at times— felt like there was a lot more telling than showing. something about it just didn't connect for me.
