What.   T h e.   F U C K.   did I just read?!   I don’t even know how to properly rate this book. This was 10/10 the weirdest, most disturbing book I’ve ever read in my life. It started off fairly normal – a pandemic sweeps across the nation and changes life as everyone knows it (much like COVID) – but then shit starts getting certifiably fucked. It was morbidly fascinating, though (in the way a train […]

Upon finishing this book, my first thought was: Thank god, it’s finally over. This book was exhausting. I really should have DNFed it and I don’t know why I didn’t. I guess because the concept was cool and the ratings were so high, that I kept hoping it would get better? I am saltier than the entire fucking ocean right now. The ratings for this book on Goodreads are insane. Only three percent of them are below 3 stars. What the […]

I didn’t love this book quite as much as I loved the first book. It had a little bit of Second Book Syndrome going on, to be honest (I’m hoping book 3 will make up for it). It started off strong – lots of action and hijinks, Vanja being her amoral incorrigible self, and the humor and sarcastic banter that I loved so much about the first book. But at the 50% mark it started dragging, and my attention waned. […]

I expected so, so much more from this. Here I am again, the black sheep – the ratings for this book on Goodreads are fantastic (seriously, WHERE are the 1 and 2 star reviews?!), and with it being a space book? I was sure I’d love it. Womp, womp. I remember exactly nothing about the plot or what happened in this book. I remember that the writing was super bland and the story was generic AF, like a million other […]
