jesus christ. this book took me 4 months to read. not because it was long, or because i didn’t want it to end, but it was a pain to read. i had to force myself to finish this damn book. i got it as a gift for christmas (?) one year, and i was running out of things to read so i decided to finally read this one. i regret this choice. if you like stranger things, and you’re a middle schooler, maybe you’ll like this! but if you are an avid reader who just so happens to also be a fan of the show, you’re not gonna enjoy this one. i promise you.
