i can be convinced to try this one again. this was one of my most anticipated reads of the entire year because the premise sounds (chef's kiss) delightful (yeah, those were puns.) people who devour books as fuel, and then one kid who needs human brain to survive instead?? so good! this was available on kindle unlimited so i picked it up and the formatting was ALL WRONG. and the audiobook didn't help my experience so i gave up on it, but with enough positive reviews i think i could try it again with better formatting and a greater outlook. from what i read, i enjoyed it but i wasn't gravitated, you know? it isn't as dark as i was hoping and it was centering more on a mother-son relationship which doesn't interest me at all.
