hannahromans's review against another edition

emotional hopeful sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated

3.0

I was honestly really hoping for more from this book. The beginning really drew me in but as it went on, I just wasn’t enjoying it. It felt very unorganized and hard to keep up with. Some of the ideas and thoughts were lovely and I did enjoy parts of this book, it was just a little bit of a letdown for me.

Viscerally human and so so funny. I truly love each and every one of these characters. Would be the perfect book for aliens to read when they take over Earth to understand what homo sapiens are. It's pretty corny, but I loved it.
