*trying* to read 7 books in 7 days | vlog

i literally finished this book about 20 minutes ago maybe half an hour and i feel like i couldn't give you a cohesive narrative i couldn't tell you everything that happened in this book because it's so [ __ ] weird but i was kind of expecting that and yet i was so drawn in by it that i can't give it three stars because i did genuinely enjoy reading it even if it was confusing and weird

i was really invested in this book and i was really prepared to give it four and a half stars and then i felt like the ending just kind of detracted a little bit from the rest of it didn't connect with me as much as the rest of the book did so because of that i'm gonna go with four stars but everything except for that ending like everything leading up to it was perfectly in my wheelhouse and exactly what i have come to expect of tilly walden

it was really good it was really cute i just think it was a little bit forgettable i think i originally rated this four stars when i read it that night but as time has gone on i am willing to recognize that this maybe didn't stand out as the most amazing thing in the world probably more like three or a three and a half star

i am liking the book so far though the book has four narrators one for each of the main characters and i'm enjoying that i only listened to the first characters first vignette and then a little bit of the second characters so i don't know as much about it yet but i'm invested

but the point is i finished reading the athena protocol and i really liked it i firmly recommend this spy thrillers are not my type of book at all and why a thrillers aren't my thing at all this book basically starts with the main character at the beginning killing someone and dealing with the fallout of that which i think is pretty dark for a ya book especially like a realistic ya book but it was wonderful and emotional and cinematic it felt like a movie

so i didn't quite finish the deep i read a couple more chapters and i'm really liking it but i read those couple more chapters recently so i didn't wind up finishing that but i'm still working hard on it
