Well, that was certainly an ending. For the most part this book was pretty dull. It’s a lot of buildup for a rather disappointing climax. First, I do want to say: The audiobook is fantastic! All my stars are for the narration. I am 100% certain I never would have made it through this book if I hadn’t been listening. It’s in epistolary format (if you want a good epistolary, just read Illuminae instead), and I did see that some […]
Welp, I finally read this book. And I know with absolute certainty that I would not have finished it if it weren’t for the audio. How can a book be so boring when it’s not even 200 pages long?! And did I read a different book than everyone else did?!?! The writing was dull, the characters were dull, and the story should have been interesting but it just wasn’t. The audio, though? Literally all the stars I would give this […]

How can anyone be expected to find happiness when the world tells us every day to kill our darlings? This was one of my most anticipated 2023 releases!! Did it live up to the hype? I’m honestly not sure. My feelings on this book are quite mixed. I love love LOVE the idea of an author getting stuck in her own story. 10/10 the premise is fantastic and I am here for it. I also enjoyed the fact that when […]
I’m going to be completely honest: I never would have looked twice at this book. I didn’t even really know about its existence (or anything about it, for that matter). But, it was my book club’s pick for the month, so I checked out a sample of the audio…and realized that an octopus was a narrator. I was instantly intrigued! I went in with little to no expectations, and the result is that this book absolutely broadsided me. I did […]
