i know people either loved or hated the writing style of this one and i think i'm somewhere in the middle. it was fun!! and i found it engaging. my brand of adhd was never bored because it kept switching it up throughout the paragraph, so i enjoyed it a lot. the plot was also FUN and not at all what i expected when i picked this book up. i'm a huge scooby-doo fan so the characters alone were enough to get me to give it a try and i guess i totally forgot about the summary mentioning Lovecraftian horror bc i was like WHAT!! when we started getting into it.
i liked the idea of andy and kerri and thought how they ultimately end up was sweet. however i'd be lying if i said some of their dialogue/interactions didn't make me cringe- like them more than once being like "Ha ha VULVAS omg babe stoppp ur so funny" and stuff idk it was extremely weird at times. also the discussion and comments surrounding transgender characters and gender affirming surgery.....like dude what was that all about. felt very waka_flaka_ok meme
