This book is an absurdist time travel adventure, which means what is most important is for the reader to have fun. Which I didn't have, not at the beginning at least.
Most of the jokes in the first half were centered on Pete being very stupid and they weren't particularly funny. While I was slightly interested in the story and the other main character's POV, I decided to DNF as it felt like a waste of my time. I would have been fine continuing with an audiobook, but there isn't one. Then I got the idea of trying to use text-to-speech and finish the book that way. (The AI emotionless voice kind of worked with the absurdity of the story). And I am kind of glad I did.
The second part was way better. Pete stopped being just the dumb guy to make jokes about and gets acknowledged as a useful part of the group. Consequently, I started having more fun with the book and actually enjoyed the jokes too. Somewhere along the way, the characters grew on me and I started to care about the story.
Also, the cat is indeed part of the story, although it appears only toward the end, and it's super cute.
