    Haunting in a way that brings me peace, one of those short stories you read in high school and think about for the rest of your life.

    The whole book I’ve been imagining Henry as Tom Riddle from the Chamber of Secrets movie 😂

    I finished this book in 24 hours because I was so astounded and disgusted by June that I couldn’t put it down wondering what she did next. Props to the author for making such an interesting argument about the publishing industry by telling the story through the eyes of a main character that feels almost satirical in how crazy she is.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    I wanted to enjoy this as a break between heavier reads, but this book wasn’t just a light read, it was more comparable to a poorly executed joke. DNF at 15%-ish, I now understand from other reviews that this book was supposed to be based on TikTok skits, but a standalone book should not rely on context from TikTok for it to be funny or make sense. From what little I made it through, the characters lacked dimension and the plot didn’t have much direction. It’s a shame that it was so poorly executed because it sounded like a fun concept.
