This made me hate words and love and soup. I love a simile as much as the next person but come on.
The beginning and end almost make up for me wanting to tear my hair out in the middle.
This was absurd and weird and a little rude at times. When's the next one come out again?
Only read this if you believe moms have the power to be an assassin writer with multiple boyfriends who still makes it in time to tuck you in at night.
- 1 for slow pacing
-1 for the ending...that was absurd and I'll defend the last book of agggtm.
This was fun I guess. Tbh I'm a sucker for anything that acknowledges the laughably loud queer undertones of The Bachelor
Ive never been more artfully bored. I wanted to care about this way more than I actually did.
Now when I do my nightly skin care routine, I check for mirrorverse Tom Cruise so he can't pull me into his jellyfish cult.
-0.5 for pacing, +5 for being super weird
I get the numerous calls by other reviewers for more context, more plot, more answers, but I kind of feel like what it lacks is the purpose. When you navigate the world while Black, you end up with a sickly feeling that your misfortune was really orchestrated on purpose but with little proof beyond your gut and historical context. This story wasn't about the other characters or why they did the studies, it was just about her, her mom, and her grandmother. More information would have muddied the point. Would any explanation really have been a satisfactory “reason” for subjecting people that level of torture?
