Oof.... this book is so confusing. At times, I live what he's saying. At other times, I'm rolling my eyes. It's like reading a grown man's diary. The writing is rough, but I admire the strength to talk about mental health.

It's like a Rollercoaster of predictable and not. I do enjoy the multi-point perspective. A psychological thriller for sure, even though it's predictable in some spots.

I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this. I like the mixed personal narrative with information, but it's incredibly repetitive. It feels like a conversation, which is nice versus all the technical jargon.

It's beginning to be incredibly repetitive. I'm gonna need this story to progress...

The way Maas makes the books connect...yessss!!!! ACOTAR for life!

I'm barely into this book, and it's a difficult read. I wish the author would release two versions: the one with technical, scientific jargon and one that is easier to read. I understand the purpose of providing all the backgrounds, but sometimes, it gets all jumbled up while reading. I end up zoning out, trying to focus on what's being said (irony). He does a good job making connections, though.

I love Bryce's sass. It shows a lot in this book. One of my favorite lines from her is, "If you're looking for How Not to Be an A**hole, it's shelved between Bye, Loser and Get the F*** Out."

I don't get the appeal of this book. It started great. But now I'm on the part where the woman is reading through Verity's manuscript of her autobiography. There's so much sex. I don't understand why author's can't write a book without needing all the sex writing. You can write a good book without being completely trashy.

Ugh I'm trying to stay engaged in it. But the whole first chapter and beginning of chapter 2 is all about them. How they were burnt out. How they were overwhelmed. How they quit. No offense, but I don't care. I got this book for ideas and to better myself for students. Yes, I can relate. If I couldn't, then I wouldn't have bought the book. I don't need 28 pages to tell me you're tired. Get to the point.

I know this book is incredibly popular and has very high reviews. Partially for that reason, I chose to read this book. It was okay in the beginning. I was expecting something different. I'm a little over 50% of the way through the book, and I'm grossed out, disturbed, and confused. I'm not seeing how this is such a popular book. It's not terrible, but it definitely isn't my cup of tea.
