This is exactly how going for a run makes me feel. Always hoping that it‘ll get better soon and thatI will get into a Runner’s high, but realizing in the end that it just sucks and didn’t give me anything. And asking myself if I am ‚too old for this shit‘ (I am 21 y/o lmao).
Okay. There were things that kept me going: The writing was tolerable and - to a certain point - even funny. However, after a while, exactly this writing annoyed the shit out of me. Shoutout to DAVE: we know that you feel like you suck, that you consider yourself a dumbass et cetera. You really don’t need to repeat it on every other page bro. Another thing was the plot. I was always waiting for something to happen, but it just didn’t. The ending was okay but also not special tbh. The book was not even scary, which I would have expected, considering the setting. And this relationship (?) of Dave and Maya. They behaved like the cringe couple from your friends group that everyone just wishes would separate ASAP. Dave constantly worrying about Maya after he’s barely gotten to known her for literally a week is just cringe. I didn’t hate the book, but I wasn’t looking forward to reading it and I wasn’t even excited for the ending (even though I am on vacation doing nothing but reading). 2,5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me :(
