    Mini Review | Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zavin

    Loved the writing style but too much focus on minutia of game design, and characters I grew to dislike. Tedious reading. ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Stars

  • Night Crawling By Leila Mottley Mini Review 3 out of 5 stars Genre: Contemporary, African American Positives: + Gives voice to a marginalised point of view and stories we do not hear. + Very impressive from a teenage author. Negatives: - Writing is too poetic & overwritten to my personal taste. - Main character felt detached & I didn't emotionally invest in her. - Very slow & very dry reading at times.
