holy fucking shit. i don't think i've cried over a book this much since radio silence. at times, tkm can be so totally crushing you think "how the hell are they going to get out of this alive" but it happens. it really shows that there are good people in the world, and somewhere you can find a forever home.

me personally, i don't know if i'll ever find it soon. but it's out there somewhere. i hope.

not gonna lie didn’t think my brain would go from “wow these guys are assholes” to “okay they all kinda have their own issues they need to work through and they live in my head rent-free now”. 

it took a while to get going but the set-up was clearly needed for proper context heading into TRK. i do think some bits went over my head though cause I Have Touble Reading Between The Lines Sometimes. but yeah. s’decent.

after almost a month of reading i finally finished it.

the first half felt like an absolute slog to get through but the second half really picked up. honestly though it just wasn’t for me.

i know this is a well-respected book on marketing but i feel like this could have been condensed a lot more. it’s relatively short but feels like a lot of yapping.
