I’m the publicist for this show this semester so I’m about to read it and see how it goes.

I will just say, I was absolutely not expecting this book to be like this.

I am almost done with this book and I just don’t want to be bc I know what’s coming…

I am so attached to the characters. Wow.

I’ve been reading this book in the car while grocery shopping and I’m not even through the 4th chapter and I’m very surprised where this book is heading. I literally didn’t even read a summary, I just heard it was good and decided to read it and I’m pleasantly shocked.

It’s so much better than the movie. The book gives such a dive into the characters I felt the movie was missing, but couldn’t put a finger on. This was it, the lack of emotional depth and insight on the characters.

I’m enjoying it so far. I watched the movie (sadly) before I read the book, so I have a clear visual of what’s going on.

I literally could not find a good stopping place for tonight because literally every word had me wanting to read more.

“I used to care when men called me difficult. I really did. Then I stopped. This is way better.”

“I’d believe your soul mate was somebody who had all the things you didn’t, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who’s suffering from all the same stuff you are.”

“It hurts to care about someone more than they care about themselves.”

“Just two bitches playing rock ‘n’ roll.”

I’m about 1/3 through with this book and I’m shocked. I am so drawn to the characters and their relationships. I love books where I feel like I want to help the characters, warn them about different things or yell out, “please don’t do it,” and this book gives me that feeling. I found a good stopping place for the night, because I need to sleep but I didn’t want to stop. It’s that good.

Some quotes which have stuck with me are…

“Love and pride don’t mix.”

“Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people.”

“People think lying is all bad but… I don’t know. Lying protects people sometimes.”

I just finished the first chapter… and wow. I’m already hooked. I loved Reid’s writing style on TSHOEH and this is juts as captivating!
