    Even tho i know i’m not the target for this book it was a fun experience. I listen to the audiobook and the narrator was very good. I loved the diversity, the queer couple and the hearing aid that the little girl has to wear. I’m sure it can help other people feel seen. Also the “grown ups” topics are not superficial and very well covered. it was super fast and very well done, loved the pov of the little girl and all the feelings she’s experiencing, that might sound silly to me because i’m older but at that age all of this is something really serious.

    I overall liked the book and i was anxious to finish it. I liked the complexity and contradictions of the characters, how the struggles of being a student, sexism and misogyny in the academic field where portrayed. I’m a bit sad that hell wasn’t described that much, but i guess it reflects the protagonists’ pov as they dont really know how it works and dont really have the time to investigate further. At the beginning i felt a little bored but still curious and i’m really glad that I finished the book. I still have to say that sometimes all these references (that I didn’t really know much about) made the reading a bit difficult sometimes and left me confused (they aren’t explained much either). Apart from that i still enjoyed it, but there should be some trigger warnings.

    This was a book picked from my last book club and i really didn’t like it. I love a good sapphic story but some aspects didn’t help to enjoy this one. I didn’t enjoy the instant love (i’m a sucker for slow burn) and the story was just dragging itself after a while. I think that if i liked the story i’d have loved the little povs of secondary characters, but in this case it’s just felt something that i wanted to skip and unnecessary. The worst thing was the overall confusion. The multiverse thing is kinda explained but also left there unfinished. I was also confused by the conversations, they changed topic very quick in a single conversation and i couldn’t keep up. Idk how to explain it more without spoilers but i was just confused and bored the all time. I’m really sorry because i don’t usually finish books that i don’t like and i always feel bad for negative reviews, but it’s just how i feel, no hate!!

    Does the hype around a book sway you when reading?

    I can’t work out if I loved or hated, but found myself trying to drown out all the hype around this book to dig down into what I actually thought. Anyone else have this problem with popular contemporary books?!
