I keep wondering if I read a different book than the people who loved this. I started off loving it, but it's really far too long and things go from happening all at once to nothing really happening for a long period of time. I've read a few Ness stories and it seems like they are either just the right length or far too long. I was interested in the characters but honestly it just kept going so long that even they lost interest to me. 

I was excited about the premise of this book but it really didn’t work out the way I wanted it to. The narrative was jarring and I think how the discussion of mental health was handled could have been a lot better. It ultimately didn’t speak to me.

I came into this book blind. I know it’s been out for forever but I had very little idea about what it was about. I ended up enjoy it in no small part because the characters have so much going for them! It’s a super fun, super fast read and I’m glad I finally got into it.
