This was a cute book that makes you just want to snuggle up with a fluffball.
I really appreciated that the book got progressively deeper and the characters more entwined despite it being short stories.
I still don't know what to think about Jon the all knowing dog. My guess is that's kind of the point though.
Overall the story has promise, but something about this just didn't work for me.
The characters were underdeveloped and the withholding of background on them didn't really seem to serve a purpose outside of intrigue. The reveal of that was pretty lackluster and just more sad than shocking.
The book inside a book thing, though funny due to the clear contrast of perception, was just hard to read. I get what TA was trying to do, but ugh I did not like when it was more than like 2 paragraphs.
This book has some pretty powerful comparisons to rl. I do feel like there was over explanations and a lack of varying perspectives/character depth but outside of that I really enjoyed it. The epilogue did leave me wanting more. I know more books aren't planned but hopefully we get a little something
