such an exhausting read. had some interesting and important moments but overall i really didn’t like it at all

needed to be a lot shorter than it is but i’m glad i can say i finally read it

enjoyed this shockingly way more than i expected to. i think a lot could have been improved (i didn’t love the writing a lot of the time) but i think the concept of the multiverse was a really nice way to get across the message the book has. i’m surprised and delighted to not have wasted a week reading this, mainly because i notoriously don’t like sci-fi and will usually not go for it .. so yay

perplexed a bit. i love jennette mccurdy’s voice in her writing and i really liked a lot of things about this book, but something’s stopping me from saying i liked the book as a whole. it’s super graphic and i think maybe i found it to end up being a bit repetitive and a bit too long? i do really like what the book had to say as a whole though, and the short chapters were really great. just don’t know exactly how i feel about the execution of it

between a 2.75 and a 3 star. can’t decide

the person who recommended this said it was black mirror-esque and i couldn't have put it better myself. terribly bleak but very well written and riveting

so this takes unlikeable character to another level. .. the vast majority of this book was pretty monotonous in my opinion and frankly i didn't care for much of it. the last chapter and the epilogue are why it's 2 stars and not 1. i just think it could have been a lot shorter

just devastatingly beautiful

(3.5 stars)
this lady is very strange .. i can't say i enjoyed this book (hard to get through in places, obviously) but something about its descent into absurdism works really well for me. i think it's the best of the three from her that i've read. it's painful and it's weird and i don't know. i think it was well done

i think this was a very sweet book that touched on some very real and important topics, but the writing didn't do much for me unfortunately (some of it was a bit cringe to get through). i'm also a bit bad at reading books that aren't super intense so it took me a while to get through it.
i don't know, i think that i did enjoy it to some degree but someone else would probably get more out of it than i did - having an insight into the trans experience like this is, however, very valuable and i think that if someone didn't know a lot about it and wanted to know more, this could be a fun book to gain an understanding of what it could look and feel like (especially considering there are multiple perspectives from different walks of life - i did really appreciate that)
i loved the switching between first and third person too, i thought it lent itself well to the progression of the story

mejor no digo nada

took me way too long to finish this but i really liked it! it lost me a bit in the middle but the last 25% really made it for me

first half was so fab i read it in one day . second half did not do much for me at all, it lost me when it got too outrageous. i also didn't care much for the writing

was fine! i like the way the internet was represented - seemed very faithful to the real thing, and the concept was cool, but after a while it got a bit exhausting . i still think it was a decent book though and there were some very good parts

didn't love this . liked the concept but it didn't do very much at all for me

just incredibly huge moves

not for me unfortunately. appreciated the writing but its overall outlook was very much incompatible with mine therefore i was just fed up for a lot of it. i appreciate that it will resonate deeply with a lot of people. but i am not that person

incredible ... just wow

loved loved loved! not my typical read but i adored the chemistry between the characters and the real sadness and hopefulness in the story #enjoyed

wasn't what i was expecting it to be. tedious at times, but i appreciated the author's descriptions. i found for them to be beautiful and they brought me right into the world the main character found herself in, but other than that i didn't really enjoy the book. it raises some very real points and it's an interesting depiction (and observation) of adolescence but i didn't find myself really caring about what was happening very much. had its ups and downs i guess

not a huge fan of saw type horror movies. so i guess im not a huge fan of saw type horror books either. i liked the concept and the resolution but nothing about it spoke to me really

liked all the parentheses.. but wasn't as intense as i was hoping

really interesting concept but fell a bit flat for me. not terrible but i'm not in awe

this was extremely easy to get through, i felt like i was burning through the pages really quickly!!! i liked it and i thought the concept was really fun once things started to come together and i thought the ending was rather cute too. i thought it was fun and fast paced- i did have a problem, however, with some of the writing of the characters and how kitty became extremely unlikeable for a while in the later parts of the book. i still had fun reading it and i'm glad i enjoyed it

i'm perplexed. i wouldn't exactly say i enjoyed reading this book but i do think it was extremely well written and interesting. the commentary on society in that point of time was interesting, as was frank's character (extremely strange by the way). the gore was crazy and the atmosphere was also really well executed (i felt super unnerved throughout the whole book) and i'm glad it was a super easy quick read despite that cause i did NOT want to be stuck thinking about it for too long. i think i will read more from ryu murakami cause i did like the way this was written and i'd like to see if there's any book of his that is better than this one, because despite me liking it i am not at all picturing myself thinking about it for weeks afterwards.

it was good and it kept me reading which is all i can ask for really, but something about it didn't connect with me. like, i thought it was really well written and everything, but i feel as though i didn't enjoy it as much as i could've.
