This is a fun little book. I love the Slack message format. The way emojis and gifs are written make them a bit hard to follow, but overall, the chat message tone and pacing was good. I liked the story; it was a bit trippy and surreal, but it was overall an interesting ride. There are moments when the book dips into existentialism but then bounces right back into comedy or lightheartedness, making the deep bits a bit less impactful.
