This book was interesting. I kinda feel like I need to give it two separate reviews. If I were reviewing it based on how it was marketed, I'd say I was disappointed. I think they tried to sell this novel as a quirky scavenger hunt which I don't think it ended up being. But if I'm reviewing the book as it is, I think it was pretty good, (if I can ignore the last 2 pages of the story). An interesting take on a family mathematical dynasty with drama.
I surprised myself with this pick for #botm but I ended up really liking it! It's very action packed, written similar to a movie. I think if it sells well, it might get a movie deal honestly bc it's already written in that style. It was a cool way to tell a story and I thought the characters were well developed and that made the plot that much more compelling. I definitely recommend it!
I am always weary of male writers but this dude actually seems to be more sensitive than others to outside perspectives!
"Maybe that was what you did--bent the truth open until it made a big enough hole for you to escape."
Read this beauty today. I really liked the setting and the main characters, but I was a bit disappointed in the conflict resolution tbh. The main problem between the two main characters did not come close to getting fixed imo. But, it was a fun read, and the MC was sassy, so cool cool.
Well it kept me up till 1, but I finished it! Again! This was a reread for me in preparation for reading the series finale which just dropped. Can't wait to see what they do now. This series is flawless.

The first 3 comics in this book are DELIGHTFUL. Like they end so wonderfully and the story is fun, witty, and interesting. The art work is A+. And then they tacked on 2 random dude comics at the end (bc they scrapped the Mockingbird series at #8) that I legit cannot force myself to finish. Such breasts and shitty storytelling.
Anyways the actual Mockingbird comics are totally worth your time!
Ugh the last comic in this book is made by like 90% dudes and it's TERRIBLE. All breasts and way too many characters. How dare they take this amazing feminist book and then end it with an unrelated dude comic?
"He's always judging me. He says I load the dishwasher wrong. That I hog the blankets. That my costume shows too much thigh"
"You murdered a man in cold blood, Bobbi."
"See there. That's what I'm talking about." ?
This was so great, the perfect beach read! So glad I finally snagged a paperback copy!
"'It always wants to be something different than what it already is.' Now that made sense to me. It reminded me of myself."
Reading a bit on my lunch break!
