I really enjoyed the first third of that book. the last third was OK. the middle third was so dreadful that I almost stopped reading. it just abruptly shifted to sitcom style/ depth plot and character development, it was bizarre.

Have you ever been at the junction of a fork in your life's road and not known what to do? How did you get through it?
get a coin. heads = school; tails = wait. flip the coin.
you're not actually seeking an answer from the coin, but rather to see your gut reaction to what the coin says. maybe it's excitement, relief, calm, or acceptance. maybe it's sadness or dread or disappointment. maybe it's still confusion. in any case, it can help shine a light on what you're feeling, which can be useful when you're overwhelmed by thinking. don't be afraid to trust your gut.

finishing up The Books of Jacob by Olga Tokarczuk. very long, and I struggled for the first half of it with keeping track of the dizzying array of characters, but overall pretty good. I enjoyed Primeval and Other Tales by her much more, however.
next up will be Soldiers and Kings by Jason DeLeon (Land of Open Graves, his previous book, was a goddamn gut punch, and expecting the same from this one - both deal with migration at the southern US border). also looking forward to James by Percival Everett.
