Everyone is SO dramatic 🤪

Really enjoying the closed room atmosphere—but the protagonist often does actions that seem high risk (passing notes to a person while everyone's eyes are on him...)

The protagonist is making a TON of assumptions...

FORD stands for = found on road DEAD 🤨

"People denigrated casual sex unfairly, applying a morality that wasn't generous or sympathetic... it expressed a plain human need, without words, without personalities even, just iterations of human types finding relief from their solitude in pleasure."

The mentioning of washi tape and Pinterest 🤣

I'm starting to realize a subject I like to read about is behind the scenes on creative industries (this one is partially about film-making). Definitely a book that takes its time and lingers on minute moments. Will also take it slow and not trying to rush it.

A nice short comedy about selling cheese to cleanse my reading palette!

DNF for now—I accidentally spoiled the ending for myself. Might return to this sometime later.

Welp, this just went in a direction I wasn't expecting... not sure if that's good or not.

I hope this is a misdirect, or else the reveal feels a little too soon.

Still thoroughly enjoying this, very much following the framework established by 'And Then There Were None'... The 'Katie' situation is an unfortunate oversight narrative-wise though.

Some people might find it boring, but I'm into all the app development aspects woven into the story.

So far so good—these characters remind me so much of colleagues at my own workplace. 😅

DNF for now — will come back later

At this moment, I hate this book... Can the 28-year-old protagonist stop behaving like an angsty teen?! And the plot holes are getting more and more obvious (similar to Sager's other work).

"We're all rushing to get somewhere else, but rotting inside. We'll all be corpses by dawn if we keep it up."
