Thank you Netgalley and publisher for opportunity to read this book.
It was an amazing journey. I find stories as this really important to share with the world. The art is so pretty, and it's like the perfect mix of information and graphics.
Love it!
1.5/5I wanted to read this one because the story was similar to [b:The Circle 18302455 The Circle Dave Eggers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1376419833l/18302455.SX50.jpg 25791820] and I really enjoyed that one.We have a dystopian country QualityLand where everything is AMAZING and PERFECT. Where the ALGORITHM is the new ‘Big Brother'. TheShop is the new Amazon that just KNOWS what you need. It's a scary vision of what can come if we just let the algorithm do all the work.We follow Peter whose surname is Jobless because his father was jobless when he was born. It's just a welcome thing. The more you read the more sick things like this you can find. There are so many things that CAN happen in the world if we let big companies take care of everything. We won't need to go to the shop, we won't need to go for a date, because the algorithm will find the perfect match.“To us, every complex algorithm is a black box. That means we see the input and output, but we have no idea what's happening inside the black box and why.”But the algorithm is not infallible.
The comic is brutal. There is really no text only the illustrations.
The main character is killing some monsters, that look like animals, to survive.
It's a story of a woman who crashed on the wrong planet and had to fight with big lizards to survive, and then she's on a Paradise Planet, and she's killing another animal to survive.
I really didn't enjoy this because of the brutality and basically no plot.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. #SorryIHaventTextedYouBack #NetGalley
Today I want to talk about a book that from the first poem made me feel so many things while I was reading. Author – Alicia Cook is talking here about mental health, romance, depression, and struggling with real life. It was a fantastic journey and I'll be coming back to read this again and again.
Book full of poems ‘Sorry I Haven't Texted You Back' by Alicia Cook is an amazing reading experience. The book is made as a cassette. Even the cover is a cassette.
There is Side A with 92 poems and Side B with a mixtape of them.
Every poem has a song that the author was “currently listening to” that makes these poems even more special.
The poems are mostly sad but at the same time bring joy because you know you're not alone with similar feelings.
Side A is full of poems and I definitely didn't expect Side B would look like this, but I loved it so much! Alicia was really creative with the way she made Side B. It's something unique and new after we read all 92 poems from Side A.
I didn't like all of them but I think it's because of the life situations everyone is in. It's different and everyone who will read this will find something for themselves. This is the beauty of poems.
Definitely better than first one, but still for 3/4 of book I didn't knew what's going on, then few last pages was like ohh it have sense now.
Really cute short story, about AI robot and human. Really lovely.
Asexual romance is like new level of cuteness.
I'd like to read the Karinne and Sal story, how they met and opened the Tea Shop.
I really enjoyed this book while I was reading, but when I'm reading this it's 2 days later and I have a few thoughts about this book.
Firstly, this book will be good at age 15-18. It's a story about Tash who's YouTuber, and she's producing miniseries - adaptation of Anna Karenina.
Tash loves Tolstoy and is talking to him in her room.
It's a story about finding yourself, fighting with hate in comments, trying to find love and purpose. This book is heartwarming. It shows us that friendship is more important than everything else.
