    This was a touching story but it really, really dragged. Although the synopsis claims the plot is that Jonny has to come back to the rez after his step-dad dies and spends time to prepare facing his past/family again, really this entire book is just a collection of memories that he's recalling, and many of them are much the same. It's a very long loop of him recalling being a child, his grandma, his mom, his crush, and then only at the very end of the book does the part of the story which was mentioned in the synopsis happen - and to be honest, it was a bit underwhelming? Idk, I mean I knew that since this is a literary fiction it wouldn't have a definite "plot" per se, but truly this just felt like an essay trying to meet a word count at times.

    I'm incredibly bored. The slow pacing and continuous, non-stop tug of war inside Lenore's mind is throwing me off. Is it just me or does it really drag on like this? 😮‍💨

    This was a very enjoyable light read! Since the premise itself is very comedic I knew going into it not to take it too seriously and just sit back and relax so I wasn't let down by the fact that there's not too much plot and a lottt of fluff (esp the 3rd book). I understand that nearly 2000 pages of just cuteness and laughs is simply too much for some, but as a book to get me out of my slump, this was perfect for me.

    Tell me a little more about yourself

    I'm really interested in learning more about the awesome folks I've connected with on pagebound so far. I've interacted with many of you, and while we usually stick to books because it's a common love we all share, but I realized I only know a little about each of you through those conversations. That is totally fine if that is how you'd like to keep things, so no pressure to answer 😊. A little more personally about me: I'm a father (mid 30s) of 2 beautiful little girls (3.5 years and 7 months), married to an amazing woman and mother, and we also have 2 French bulldogs 😊. I'm currently a software engineer and my primary focus is infrastructure (all the boring stuff that websites like pagebound runs on behind the scenes and serves it all over the world), but I also freelance in web development still since it's where I got my start. Fun random fact: I was top 500 in overwatch season 3 🤣 Super happy to have met everyone and will hopefully continue to meet as this community grows 😊 Please don't forget to practice good internet safety when answering! 🫣
