This book was absolutely unhinged. That’s the best way I can describe it. The main character was unhinged, the way the book took a turn and nearly became a horror novel was unhinged. The way it ended was unhinged. I was getting so enraged at the main character’s behavior that I was live reacting as I read in a mutual’s DMs who had just finished reading the book the week prior.
Would I read this book again? Probably. Not anytime in the near future though. Aside from the insane plot line, this book touched on themes like interpersonal racism, discrimination, identity and authenticity, representation, cultural appropriation, and cancel culture.
@akamran@alexisbushnell@infinitesoleil@bookstodon Interesting. I'm using advanced mode desktop, and now that the other messages in this thread have appeared, the original message includes the link.
I wonder what was causing the propagation delay?
@alexisbushnell@infinitesoleil@bookstodon Coincidentally
A tech report just got covered on slashdot: there's a known bug with propagation of links with images causing temporary transfer overloads, especially on smaller servers. The lag symptom I saw is not mentioned, but I wonder if it might be related.
