medium-paced
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
I very much wanted to like this book, given the premise. That being said, I do think this book showed some promise. This was weighed down by some of the glaring issues of the book.
While I do see the aspects of a memoir in this book, it read more like creative nonfiction mixed with sci-fi. Maybe that is how this book should have been marketed, all things considered.
I also feel the author was let down by their editors, as this book desperately needed a few more washes through the editing phase. In addition, the e-book formatting was horrendous and made it difficult to read.
I think the premise and the content itself hold a lot of potential, but the mark was missed by quite a bit. I hope the author is able to take this criticism for future consideration, as I do feel they have some incredible ideas and concepts in this book!
