look, i only read this book because the summary made it sound insane but now that i've read it, every single summary seriously misrepresents both the story and the tone
things the summary accurately reflects:
a) the story is about a mountain lion
b) who lives in LA below the hollywood sign
some of the rest is partially accurate but some is not even close. truly baffling???? based on the summaries i thought i would hate it but also have fun reading it and i can honestly say i did neither.
compelling though. the writing style i think will be hit-and-miss for people but it worked for me
