Considering The Electric State netflix movie seems to be some insane mindless money laundering scheme. Please look at the original artbook it’s based on! (No it’s not a novel, it’s barely a graphic novel, it’s an art book, I have no idea why they chose to adapt it)
He’s been one of my favorite artists since 2015 and his art is much softer and more personal and nonlinear than the movie diluted it to.

I read this one a few weeks ago, but wanted to wait until I saw the movie before diving into my thoughts. Both start extremely similar, down to some exact word-for-word scenes, and the plot points are all the same, but the movie takes some creative license to show what’s going on for the main characters mentally that the book doesn't. This works in favor for both the book and movie. In the book's case you're left guessing, confused, and trying to pick apart every tiny detail til the very end. The author is continuously sneaking small details/hints past you without raising alarm, and at the end I found myself looking back to see a whole different story. This isn't to say I didn't see the twist coming, but it was done in a way that left plenty of good stuff to pick apart after you‘ve finished.

I’ve heard it makes more sense if you read the book first, but it still gives you too much to think about

Just finished it. If you enjoyed the movie, I highly recommend the novel too.

Had a scare with my dog recently and it’s a good reminded to everyone to give some extra love to your pets for me. Let them know how special they are <3

School sucks obviously, but I miss when simply knowing someone in science class made them a friend. Didnt need deep complex understand in relationships, just needed people to tell me my ideas for new sandwiches were good.
Looking back I considered almost everyone I went to school with a friend even if the sentiment wasn’t shared. Adulthood made casual relationships almosy impossible, near strangers can’t be my friend anymore
:(
