the first like. 80? 90?% of this book was sooooo slow and i had a lot of trouble caring about it. possibly this was in part because i have covid. but alas! but the last two chapters were REALLY good & the slowness kinda paid off. i liked janina as a narrator a lot as well, and the conversations about who we pay attention to and who we don't, about justice with regard to animals, etc. this definitely wasn't the right book for Sick Me but i think it easily could be the right book for someone else
