Wanted to read this bc Jenny Slate narrates it BUT had to stop bc I couldn’t get past her voice as she read. Maybe I’ll pick it back up in physical/ebook

Ann Garvin

DID NOT FINISH

The characters are so ducking annoying, ableist, fatphobic, and all around the WORST. I have no interest in their life and the writing was mediocre at best

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

The translation (or maybe actual writing?) just felt SO choppy and difficult to read. This was especially the case for the audiobook. It felt like someone was recording one line at a time and it was spliced together
