aqulia's review against another edition
emotional
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
2.5
Some of the stories were really good, like "Auld Acquaintances", "Keagan's Heaven on Earth", and "Liberty". I liked how heartwarming those were, and they had great chemistry. I appreciate how most tropes that are kind creepy/toxic irl were deconstructed. I say most, because "The Idiot Algorithm" had a creepy mc, and was super uncomfortable to read. Some were really good, but I was skimming through a lot of this book, and "The Idiot Algorithm" was so creepy that it dropped the rating by half a star.
