i genuinely think the story of this book was wonderful. the premise was enthralling, and i can give Hammon that. my biggest issues with this book is that it’s filled with uninformed right wing beliefs, and often drones on about it despite adding nothing to the story. There are bits of the book that are unneeded, and while i enjoyed the rowan storyline i don’t think it was necessary. There were also quite a few typos, and Hammon clearly doesn’t know anything about marijuana (eating a whole bag of edibles and they wear off in less than an hour ??); this didn’t bother me too much i just thought it was silly. Overall it was a good story and premise, and i can say i did enjoy the book.
