Remarkably Bright Creatures

This is a good book for a 12-year-old who wants to read a book about adults. The writing style and plot are at the middle school level. There’s nothing really wrong with it if you look at it from that perspective, but this book is simply not complex enough for an adult who reads regularly and has the ability to read between the lines.

You nailed it, Arielle. I have this problem with a lot of pop fiction - it’s mostly…basic. Basics serve a purpose, sure, but they’re not winning Pulitzer Prizes anytime soon.
Came in blind on this book and was scratching my head early on. I came here to see if this was YA fiction. Either way DNF. Glad I'm not alone
Agreed, what a slog! Not sure why so many others love it.
I wish i could repost this!
Lol sadly accurate!!
A book about grief and mortality, hardship, and aging wasn’t complicated enough for adults to enjoy? Do you just think hope and friendship are themes for children? Or were those too complex for you?
I am on page 27 and couldn't agree more.
