I’m sad to say that I DNF’ed this book at 50%. 

This was one of my most anticipated books of the year, and I’m so disappointed. There was just sooo much unnecessary inner monologue from Harrison that it became exhausting to read it. I feel like 1 out of 3 of every sentence that I read could’ve been taken out. The 50% of this book that I read could’ve been cut down to 20% of the book. There was no reason for this book to be 400 pages long I’m sorry.

The book promised me an adventure between 2 Black queer best friends. And what it gave me was 40% worth of thinking and planning on Harrison’s part, nothing of Linus, and by 50% of the book they’d only gone to one place. It was just too much.

I will read the author’s next book though, because I LOVE the thought of this book and I hope the pacing will improve in his next book🤞🏽
