The tone here is so detached, no feelings are explored...that coupled with a story about boredom in marriage and the result is sooo bleak.

Didn't expect that lol

The Depressed Person: fucking phenomenal. Glad to have picked this up for a second time so soon after reading Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte.

This one's hitting different this go around

Taking this one slow. Such heavy material.

This book is too quotable, I've underlined it all

It feels disrespectful to fictionalize the final moments of real people right before they died...and I'm assuming we're also going to get some detail on the brutality of their deaths as well. The families of these two are presumably still around to see this. I want to see authors employ some ethics and care when writing about such topics. And..did we really need the paragraph about how to light a Bic lighter? ++

I think this writing style might be a bit too twee for me. Feels like Lemony Snicket for adults. I'll give it 30 pages.

Devouring this, but I don't think I'll squeeze it in before the ball drop. Happy new year, friends!

I was !glued¡ to this till midnight

This is sooooo boring

Loved this book a couple years ago; realized I couldn't remember much about the main character's postpartum experience, and isn't that the whole point? Should stick in my mind now I've had my own kid.

Jinkies!

My highschool AP English teacher was obsessed w Shakespeare so I missed this one as a cold hearted teen; someone pls tell me if a rabbit or puppy dies, I don't think I can handle that rn 🫣

I loooove this book. I love it as much as I did at 14.

Crying already, that was fast!

This season of True Detective is better than the last

I love this book so much

Something about the voice of the narrator is really not working here.

Oh fuck.

I have been dragging myself through this because between all the melodrama and stilted dialogue, there are really neat bits of speculative fiction that intrigue and entice me towards the finish line.

I totally slept on this! I was expecting schlock and I'm so pleasantly surprised

If you're reading this, put down your kindle, pull up My Chemical Romance on Spotify and feel like a teen again

Sorry to the Huang fans; this has become a hate read 🫢

Ohhhh shit!

This gave me the heebies last night in bed!
