So, I'm a big burly man (who hasn't lifted since high school) and this book is written by a woman and feels mostly directed towards women, specifically ones who struggle with, like, feeling like they need to be runners with runner's physiques. There was a bit of this book that I felt like I had to just sympathize with, rather than really empathizing. That said, Casey has me looking to figure out how to fit lifting back in my life in my 30s in earnest, which I suppose the author would call a success. Good read.

Really enjoyed this little book and it's second half. These two novellas felt far more connected to me than a book and it's sequel, and it's odd to me that they're bound and sold as two different books. Priced as two books, as well. Recommended read, though I wish they'd sell the two books bound together for something closer to $15-20

Didn't enjoy as much as Red Team Blues, it felt less like a story and more like a travel book for an imagined future version of socal. RTB obviously had something to say about crypto, and the author's perspective is clear, but it had enough of a thriller plot to drive the story on it's own merits. I got bored with this plot halfway through and felt like I had seen enough of the author's social ideas that I didn't feel bad just letting this one go. Not a bad book at all, I just have a ton of others to read.

Really really enjoyed my time with these characters and the little plot that it had. There's some conflict but not a lot. Made me ask my wife in earnest if we should open a used book store. Eagerly looking forward to reading the next one.

Well written introductory book from a Wesleyan perspective, the next edition should jettison the notebook paper and marker aesthetic. It's not a book written exclusively for teenagers, and the included art and layout are unfairly pigeonholing it.
