This is really not what i expected when i started reading. Big fat trigger warning alert😔 i don’t want to read sad books but this one tricked me into thinking it was a chill romance

Was not expecting that. Came out of nowhere and i don’t know if i even respect the choice of the author to make such a crazy character decision

I can literally hear Oscar Wilde’s opinions so clearly in this, I love it

Wilde will stun me with something insanely beautiful and profound about inequality and suffering then ruin it with, ‘Wealthy people are, as a class, better than impoverished people, more moral, more intellectual, more well-behaved.’ You cant take the privileged artist out of the art…

Slow start but I do have a good feeling about it

So good so far. Haven’t put it down!

It must have been displayed at the front of Waterstones for a reason…

Give my boy Jamie a break!!!

This book really is a full time job to read. Love though

We are off to a good start.

“This book is a truthful accounting of our travels, and so includes our sometimes excessive drinking, low-grade misogyny, and salty language. We are white, middle-aged, American males who are not “woke” and don’t even know what “intersectionality” means.”

Im in for a treat with this one I think!!

Sometimes Ive just got to challenge my thinking with the opposing perspective. But considering this is cheered by Fox News and its viewers I think I will find this a painful read :)

“I was living its embodied nature. The man who loved hiking, camping, and running, who expressed his love through gigantic hugs, who threw his giggling niece high in the air—that was a man I no longer was. At best, I could aim to be him again.”

As morbid as the topic is, it is very interesting especially from his point of view.
