Miss Freida is trending everywhere so I’m excited to get into this

Really stoked for the reread

I kinda thought this book would be boring but I’m really enjoying it lol

“The media was no help. They counted my drinks and counted the seconds Brock could swim two hundred yards, topped the article with a picture of Brock wearing a tie; it could’ve doubled as his LinkedIn profile.” WOW

BOOK 3: FALL FROM INNOCENCE
“The Body”
This book is what inspired the movie Stand By Me, which is my favorite movie of all time so I’m biased, 5/5 ⭐️ !!!!!

BOOK 2: SUMMER OF CORRUPTION
“Apt Pupil”
The first part of this story seemed to drag on, there was a lot of talk about how Dussander was a former Nazi captain and not much on what his experience in Germany was really like. I also didn’t really care for either protagonist at first, but the story won me over with King’s fucked up, gore-filled writing. (Had to physically close the book sometimes) 4/5 !!

BOOK 1: HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
“Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption”
I FLEW through this first story. Amazing. King’s writing is totally unmatched and I can’t wait to get to the rest of them. 5/5!!!

“I asked him once what the posters meant to him, and he gave me a peculiar, surprised sort of look. ‘Why, they mean the same thing to me as they do to most cons, I guess,’ he said. ‘Freedom. You look at those pretty women and you feel like you could almost, not quite but almost, step right through and be beside them. Be free.’” CHILLS

Content warning: physical abuse, rape
I’m about to start part 2 and I’ll just say this book is a little graphic and I wasn’t ready for that !!

I really didn’t think I was gonna enjoy this book but I’m kinda loving it….
