rip stevie you would’ve loved lesbians (and becoming one, probably) (this is not a spoiler she didn’t die this is just a joke)

I think I finally figured out why this writing feels more impersonal to me— it’s in present tense. I think that’s what bothers me about the writing and makes it feel a bit less consistent.

To be honest, as of now I am not loving it. The storyline is almost too linear and it hardly delves into the backgrounds of any characters, and when it does, it does not really bring up its relevance or show through the characters in any way. We don’t learn much about what the characters are thinking and most dialogue is skipped through. I am sure it will get better once I get to the middle of the book.
