I enjoyed some of the humor in this book, and the story was pretty good, but overall it was just okay. I wanted more resolution (Colin couldn‘t find some random connection to save the factory? Was there any fallout from Lindsey‘s breakup? What happened when Colin and Hassan went home?). Not bad, but not great either.

It was fine. I liked it a lot at the beginning, then halfway through I started spacing out. I‘m not even 100% sure how it ended and that doesn‘t bother me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fun play on words that turns poetry into puzzles.

Poetry. Unique and fun idea, This author uses letters from only one word to come up with a poem about that word. Reminds me of an anagram, a riddle, and a puzzle all squeezed into one. Very creative idea and the simple illustrations add a nice touch to the book.

For Wednesday‘s #bookquote, I‘m sharing this one from the book An Abundance Of Katherines by John Green. This is my favorite quote from the book. I read this book in 2015 and I really enjoyed it.

I have an abundance of thrifted John Green books but this one didn‘t work for me. I thought it was a silly premise and pointless story. I don‘t pan a book often, but I just didn‘t get anything out of this one.

So I usually enjoy John green books but to me this one was a miss. There was no real character development. The story was lacking. I don‘t really know what went wrong here because his books usually are very good.
