CW: ableist slurs
Nah, this wasn't the one for me.
I couldn't take this book seriously, I couldn't take the characters seriously. KT's narration is week and I wanted to scream more then anything. For most of the book I was considering DNFing, but it's a short book so I pushed through.
Celebrity name dropping bothers the heck out of me, and here it was so overdone, like I couldn't. And I felt like the “x looks like y-celebrity” was such a cop-out for me the writer to describe characters. I wasn't a fan of that kind of chatacyer description.
And I don't mind that KT loves old music, I really don't. But it feels more like the writer trying to preserve their love for music of their times then KT liking the music, I don't know why.
And the road trip. My gosh, the road trip! I. Couldn't!
Like I can see a few things going wrong in a road trip, I can believe the characters getting tricked and having their car stolen, but lmao, things were so convinent for them. Like, it felt like they were only in dramatic situations just to add drama to a bland plot. There was no reason for some of the things they went through.
And that 806 908 thing, laaaawardt no. The book is literally called 806 but that didn't even last half the book. The book would've been better called Lucky Sperm Club (I mean I know it can't actually be called that, but that would've been more appropriate). And the whole “I'm not your father but I met him randomly in the road”. Ha-kant!
And the ending was so predictable I wanted to roll my eyes. And Dylan is a creep and he really did a cross-country following a girl who already told him 100xs that she doesn't want him. NO LORD!
This book was bleg. And I know I sound angry, and I'm sorry, but I was so excited about this and didn't get what I was expecting and I suppose that that's my own fault. But yeah, I was really disappointed in this book!
