I was fast but it was short?
It is a totally different book from the last two, but still compelling. Gonna go ahead and put a hold on the next one!

Damn. That was good. Author is only like 24? Wow.
Recommended. It’s intense, but it’s really about love.

The DataScience x Design book club talked about chapter four today!
We had lots of great ideas to incorporate into dataviz: - break the line chart up into multiple panels to separate time frames - add motion lines to points - where was this value last quarter? - use color to indicate changes in time - using a facet grid style layout, but move along in time left to right, move along in variables up and down
And so on! It was great

The dialect is sooooo hard to get through. It’s masterful in counterpoint to the language our POV character uses with us tho. Really well done, but not an easy read
