5 stars *may change

this is very annoying. i cant stand anything more than when a hyped book lives up to the hype. how am i supposed to be a professional hater when i actually agree with the masses for once? very pesky.

i dont really have any thoughts about this book. every other 5 star i’ve given has been met with a long essay about why i felt for certain things — how i cried, how i related, how the world felt real — blah blah blah nobody cares. i have nothing to say about this book. i’m left a little confused as to how the author wrote a book as painfully boring and atrocious as daisy jones and then wrote this. i mean, this is, by all accounts, an objectively good book. i don’t think there’s anything i can possibly add to it.

and to clear things up, yes, i cried. fuck. stop asking me. you should all know by now that major character deaths are the only thing that can make me cry. i’m weak to it. feels too... personal. ugh. fuck this book.

+ addition. i did not rate this book 5 stars solely because the main character is cuban. i did think about it, though. oops.
