I thought I'd hate it due to the DNF and low rating this book was getting, but I am REALLY enjoying it. Kippy's voice is real, genuine, and awkward. Not awkward as in like the prose is terrible, but awkward in a sense you can really feel her introvert-ness and shyness and her lack of social skills and everything else seeping from the pages. I don't think any of it are forced, because there is an abundance of great internal monologue that makes her personality shine.

It's also a pretty dark book, despite being character-driven. The parts where we get out of her mind and see the rest of the people in this town of Frienship can be disturbing, as there are layers of meaning underneath the dialogue.

Pretty unconventional book, but I LIKE it a lot. 

... when you have to open your laptop just to tell the world how awesome the book is. Hear that? THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!

(I'm at 78% btw)

Reading this right now and I'm at around 30%. So far, this retelling is quite impressive. Although I'm not too invested in the plot right now (I mean, I kind of have an idea how it'll go...), the writing is quite delicious to take in as it involves a lot of internal narration. My only complaint is I hope it stops inserting snippets of Greek/Roman god stories every 5 pages lol. Some of them were inserted randomly and I didn't think they served any purpose other than to showcase her "knowledge" of this particular field (not even sure how accurate they are... I'll leave this to you, Khanh. Haha.)
