I’m pretty sure a fetus can’t get cut by an external sharp object while in there without the amniotic sac being ruptured. This detail reminds me of the measles in Vain.

This made me sob. What a moment in history. A similar moment should have happened on November 8, 2016. I will never get over the fact that we didn’t get to celebrate another triumph of progress over prejudice on that day.

What a love they shared. I’m reading in a bar and crying, vision so blurred I can hardly see what I’m typing.

Oh. My. FSOG. All of the Fifty Shades pieces are falling into place. The rich, emotionally available man with a traumatic childhood (fifty shades of fucked up or enough baggage for a 747). The inexperienced young woman. The best friend (Kate or Haddie). Now the woman who is all up in the guy’s business (Elena or Tawny). AND THE LIP BITING.

I do have to say that the writing is better in this book.

A.C.E. as an acronym? Am I the only one who needs an explanation?

So this is how is going to be. 3% in. I haven’t read a book like this in awhile. I’m not sure I’m down for this. Given the scene, this is a bit meta.

Fuck you again, Colleen Hoover. And this time, I’ll throw in a thank you, too.

Fuck you, Colleen Hoover. I am NOT inviting you to my birthday party.

Maybe it’s the one and a half beers on me but all of the sudden this has gotten amusing. I nearly quit this book a million times in the first 10% but now I’m lol-ing. Literally lol-ing. “I like to get online and change thing in Wikipedia.”? LOL.

Giving up. Not my bag. I can’t follow the names and I’m not a fan of the supernatural stuff.

It’s not “Stockholm” - it Stockholm Syndrome.

I’m listening this to on audiobook and it is gutting me.

Easy getting to know you questions. Kate's favorite color is the same as Peeta's. Orange the color of sunset.

Dude. Keller is saving this book.

OMG. This book is going to break my heart before it resolves in what will probably a too good to be true ending. This girl is my kid. He thinks what she thinks. But it seems like her mom & teachers don't know what I know about my kid. Nevertheless, I'm quite sure my kid still feels almost as horrible as she feels. I was expecting a non-fiction. This is going to hurt. It already hurts.

"I don't do costumes." Oh my God. She is so pretentiously ____________. I don't know the word. Too cool for school. Rebel without a cause. Trying so hard to be different that it's trite.

Her personality is making me hate the book that EVERYONE loves.

FYI People with bulimia are typically average weight or heavier. You typically don't see severely low weight unless the person has anorexia (and the self-starvation that goes along with it). Maddie's clinical picture doesn't make sense. She needs to be starving herself to be underweight, not just bingeing/purging, and it sounds like she doesn't restrict. Just sayin'.

Please don't be an "everybody loves you but me" book. The clothing thing is pretentious. Being a slave to wearing alternative clothes = being a slave to brand names. Not digging the music snobbery bugs too or the caricature of a SoCal betty going on here (that wording is meant to be ironic). The word dude appears ONE HUNDRED NINETY NINE TIMES. I say "dude" a lot. But 199 times? That's, like, a total bummer, dude.

Again, I suck at predictions. I've avoided all spoilers for this book other than the fact that it is apparently in the the lead for "biggest ugly cry." Between that hint and my pathetic perception skills, I'm already wondering something. I won't put it here now because I'm too lazy to spoiler font.

Again, I suck at twists but if he isn't the prince right now, I will never trust my intuition (limited as it may be) ever, ever again.

I don't like that she hasn't figured it out.

I am fully aware that I suck at picking up hints but if Val isn't somehow involved in this, I will never ever trust my gut again.

Aaaaaand this is the moment Ren gets added to the book boyfriend just.

I can't remember the last time I finished a book. I have to read the book before I see the movie. Always. So thanks, Netflix, for the kick in the ass.

I've been on a plane so I haven't been able to respond but that whole death thing... not nice. Not nice at all.

And now this shit? It's breaking my heart and confusing me. :-(

He's killing me. I can't take this.

Here we go. I avoid spoilers like the plague but I remember seeing things about people hating Asa. It's page 1 and I'm not happy with him either.
