  • Wow wow wow 
  • Easily one of the most beautiful books I’ve read
  • The descriptions of space are so beautiful and never get old. Similar to how the astronauts have the same view and you would think that it would be repetitive, but everyone they see it, it is like new

  • Hmmm, where to start. I loved Lakesha 's character and thought that the way the story ended with her was perfection. 
  • While the parts about football were interesting, I thought they were a bit long winded at times and found myself struggling to follow, but it did add to the overall world building. 
  • The ending was very sad but exciting and ended with some optimism for the 2016 election which was interesting. 
  • I thought the office politics section was fascinating

Powerful and intense! Reminds me of All Fours but with a better and more clear message.

Ugh! Beautiful. More whimsical than I thought it would be, but still so lovely!

Ok I know the point of the book was to offer long winded analysis of the different ways people identify and how they react to rejection, but when it was split/repeated in many different voices it was challenging to stick with! I was entertained by Kant and Allison's stories, but other than that I did not love it.

This was fun! I wasn’t heartbroken or terribly sad with the ending given how the characters were portrayed. I did enjoy that every time a major plot moment was happening between Cleo and Frank, the perspectives switched significantly.

  • Loved this one! Fun spy noir type book 
  • I think the sections where the cult leader was narrating could have been shorter, but still good!
