this is just stunningly good. phil is so believable, and real to me. jacks is a sweetie. the bathroom window gag on the other hand is ott, and there's never any acknowledgement of it. like acker just sweeps all the book's weaknesses into the time gaps.

💯👍👍🌈

always kind of in awe at writers who stop scenes in places I could never leave them. stuff you know's gonna have consequences, but they just skip over it. also: ENRAGED that my library doesn't have Acker's other book.

that plot step felt a little matter of fact. no planning or anything, just does it. there was a time gap so maybe off screen planning. idk. just something a bit odd about it from a storytelling perspective, imo. still, this is amazing

had this from the library, but it's $2 so i own it now.

not sure what actually happened in that scene, but something about the voice, the humor here is just really working for me. loving this 😁

ok, first demerit: neglecting to mention one of the secondary chars we've met a few times already is black and fat until 18%. still, some grade A banter in this book. can't imagine this isn't gonna get an easy 5 ⭐ when it's done

this is REALLY good :)

impressive opening

I’m glad i didn’t listen to my mind telling me to dnf cause I am hooked now

To dnf or not dnf that is the question
