Robert Moore, if you don't knock this shit off...! In today's chapter, he goes to visit Yorke and we're subjected to too many pages about Yorke's twee daughters and his incel son. It's all pretty off-putting, especially when Rob flirts with the little girls?! Like, I guess it could be an attempt at being playful but it was just weird. Also our omniscient narrator talking about when some of these kids will die?? What is this, Bridge to Terabithia??

This book was SO close to being my #latestbail, but I ended up skimming portions of it just to keep going & see where the plot went. It's got a cool premise & interesting format going for it, but the writing is abominable, imo. (So, ⭐️⭐️?) Sure, the characters are often insufferable, but the real problem was how often they commented on themselves/how they spoke. STOP THAT! #autumnreads
The dog tag is from when I dressed up as Boomer from BSG!

EchoLogical What?! I love this series! The space odyssey and teeny bopper drama combined really did it for me. Lol. Seriously, I wasn't that into it until the surprise twist near the end. Then it was like "holy cow"! It completely redeemed the rest of the book for me. Lol 8y
Natasha.C.Barnes @EchoLogical I know, I know, I have a really #unpopularopinion about this book...I liked the space odyssey nature, didn't like the teeny bopper drama (in this book at least, I've liked it elsewhere), but I just couldn't get over the writing. Would have been one thing if only the messages between kids were annoying, but I thought the security tape write ups were stylistically bad as well...but I'm still tempted to keep reading the series bc...plot! 8y
EchoLogical @Natasha.C.Barnes This one is just as ridiculous but I enjoyed it. Lol. 8y
Natasha.C.Barnes @EchoLogical Haha, yeah, if I'm being honest with myself I'll almost certainly read it. #hypocrite 😂 8y
