A classic and good for if you need a distraction from any of those shitty current events. Would recommend listening to the movie’s soundtrack while reading. Does contain one slur unfortunately.

Sponge and spiker, jame’s aunts, are the reason for the three moderate warnings. There is also

people reacting to what they believe to be a bomb threat, and some serious toxic patriarchy vibes from the cloud man society

2.0

It was cute but, I actually enjoyed the movie more🤷‍♂️ I give it a 2.5
Also there are some very problematic things in the book like fat phobia and a hint of racism when the grasshopper says he would rather be cooked and eaten by a Mexican, which was a very unnecessary line and honestly a gross thing to write.
