Status Updates From The Things We Learn When We...

I'm not enthralled. But I'm also not despising it. It's just sort of m'eh!

This is a depressing book...but in an oddly "flat" way. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep reading it. I had initially thought it might be humorous. I suspect it's aiming at humour at times, but it's so 2-dimensional it's impossible to tell.

I won't lie, I'm beginning to dislike the name "Lorna". Why does it have to be repeated so constantly!? I get it, the FMC is called Lorna and she is "young". Could have reduced this book by about 50 pages by just editing out those two words!

IM SO BORED

I'm reading this while on and off watching The Rookie aaaaand, this is sort of a portion where the book has lost me some. I liked hearing bits of her memories, but now this sorta just feels like/is all of her memories while living... which isn't bad, but also - not what I expected.

This book is losing me some ngl. I wish it was more... Idk. Maybe ambiguously religious (?) vs there being a character straight up called "God"

For some reason I get the ick that Lorna is called Petal 😭😭

I read a little bit of this before just to make sure I'd actually be interested, but now I'm going to read it for real. Got about 50 pages in initially. Now I'm re-starting from page 1.
