    Is someone able to sort of tell me what I can expect from this book with minimal spoilers, if possible. Two months ago I finished the first book and have been having a hard time transitioning to the second book. Not sure if it because the first book left on such a high note, and this beginning just feels slow. BUT if someone can sort of write a hype piece for it to get me going to read it I would absolutely appreciate you and your words, thank you!

    I’m not sure I’m going to end up liking this book very much. I’m not a huge fan of being ā€œtoldā€ a story like this if that makes sense. I would rather beā€in itā€ instead of hearing it.

    And I know the whole thing is The Interview šŸ˜‚

    This feels like a book that is ideally read in parts.

    I actually ended up stopping halfway through the book for about 2 weeks, and returning to it was an interesting experience. A whole lot of trying to remember who was who, what has happened, and what's going on. And to me, that feels almost perfectly thematic to the story.

    Even now, fresh off of finishing it, there are details and probably even entire plot points that I'm forgetting, and the realization of that forgottenness vibrates in the back of my mind.

    Truly, what a beautiful experience of a book.

  • Audiobooks ARE reading but…

    Does anyone struggle to reeeeally take the story in? I love audiobooks and, as someone who needs constant background noise, I like to listen to them around the house or on walks.

    The only issues are; I love to highlight my favourite quotes which I can’t do and I generally find that I rate audiobooks higher as a good narrator can make the story so much better! I always wonder if I’d like a book as much if I actually read it?

    What are your pros and cons re audiobooks?
