2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss Becky Albertalli‘s book, The Upside of Unrequited.


***Please remember to mark spoilers.***

Participants: Ilona, Joan, Missy, Hanya, Amy, Lindsay

Suggested break down of reading so that you can check in and let us know how you're doing. The following breakdown is purely a suggestion and is therefore not set in stone.

Rather than putting dates for each section I've done it so that it takes into account that not everybody will necessarily have the book at the same time.

Week 1: 84
Week 2: 84
Week 3: 84
Week 4: 84

Has anyone stared this one yet?

I read this a week ago and just like the Creekwood books, it is a very quick read. I liked it, but also had some issues with the story that kept me from giving it 4 stars.

I haven’t started reading this yet. When I finish the book I’m reading now I’ll start The Upside.

Please may I join? I just started this today.

Yes, of course!

Just started reading.

Glad to have you join us, Lindsay!

I have added you to the list of participants!

I'm starting this one today!!!

I've read a little bit of this one but it isn't grabbing me like the other books by this author.

I've finished and I actually quite enjoyed it. Sometimes I think it all depends on what else is going on in your life and the mood you are in. I started a new job recently and it's taking up a lot more headspace than I'm used to. So this was a light, quick read that fit the bill.
