A captivating narrative divided into four distinct perspectives. While the story could benefit from some polishing, its compelling plot and intriguing characters make it a throroughly enjoyable read. Thank you for this ARC.

A multilayered story of stories, different characters and POV. The story of a bar, of the people who are the usual customer and the aread where they are
Not always easy but well done
Recommended.

Thank you to the author and publisher for this ARC! To start, the overall themes and idea of this story are interesting. The read is easy, but the grammar and prose made it a bit difficult to get into in parts. I'd like to read this after it's been through another edit, as I think that it would make the story easier to follow. I had trouble finding a lot of presence for this publication online, but I think that with the right editing and advertising, it could definitely be a successful book! Wishing all well!

This is a super interesting concept and very relatable to lots of people. I think it could maybe use a bit more polishing to correct the tense changing and solidify the stream of thought but it was a really interesting and chill read.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This story has potential and the premise is interesting, if a bit ambitious. Told through different characters and in different worlds, there are a lot of moving pieces.

The tense changes and mix of run-on (ex. "When we reached their South Austin home on the west side, my mom would slingshot herself out of the car before we even came to a stop and sprinted to her sister who would be standing on the porch along with the rest of the family anticipating our arrival.") and incomplete sentences, as well as the erratic structure, took me out of anything the narrators are saying.

The video game section (at least, I think that's what happened) is where it went really off the rails for me, and by the end I was even more confused than when I started.
