I’ve finished four books since mid-June. I was going to say that can’t be right, but also the summer slump is real, so.
Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
2.5 stars, rounding up
I really liked the characters in this book, and I think it has a great narrative voice. I just feel like it took me so long t read and finish it, so there was something that kept me from engaging with it completely. Part of it, I think, is that there’s A LOT going on in the book and it’s not always clear how all the threads go together or Hernandez spends a lot of time on one thing and takes too long to get back to the other. So, pacing, basically.
