i really didnt like the inherent vice movie. it was very adaptation-y if that makes sense and the acting/editing/general feel was very cheap. the book was inconsistent also. long chunks of nothing interesting happening. something like the big lebowski is how that might have looked if it succeeded. otherwise i like everything else you like

really good so far, actually. honestly wish i would have read it as a young teen since i know it would have had an impact on me. and no it thankfully doesnt read like a collection of data, it's a lot more personal and easy to read (not personal in regards to the author, but there's many girls' experiences told throughout the book).

If you want to share any I’d be open to reading it.

(Also if you don’t want to type out blocks of text you can download this app Google Keep, you can snap a picture, then they have an option to grab text and it shows up to copy-paste. If you paste it it will be spaced according to the picture, so what I do is I use this website https://onlinetexttools.com/join-text and it will wordwrap the text so it comes out joined.)
