I just don’t find it engaging. I struggled to get to 29%. I don’t care about anyone and I hate the unrequited romance. The structure is good and ends on riveting points, but it’s just not connecting with me.

Reads like poorly written fan fiction. Boring characters. I just don’t care.
Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror by Jordan Peele, John Joseph Adams
5.0
Loved this anthology! My favorite to date. Anthologies are usually misses for me but 11 out of 19 stories were notable, with 9 being favorites! This gets five stars from me. The extra star is for the great conversations it generated as a buddy read.

Look Out for the Little Guy! by Scott Lang
2.0
Only for Ant-Man and MCU super fans. But maybe not because most of the book is a poorly written Wikipedia recap of the movies you already know. First 50 pages were the strongest and then it got tedious from there.
