Added to my TBR for Harry Styles, and finally read this after Jack Edwards reviewed it.
This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever read. The world is so intriguing, yet we don’t really see much of it. I mean — the sun shines a different colour everyday, which makes the watermelons grow in different colours, and they extract a sugar from it and use it to build everything, and also mix it with trout to make watermelontrout oil, a chef who only makes carrots, a place where all the forgotten things are dumped — you get it.
Not sure if I’m an idiot or if this is fake deep, but I didn’t understand heck. Confusing, yet strangely addicting. Maybe that’s what Harry was going for in his song?
The ending went from 0-100 pretty quickly, though. lmao
