Oh how I will be getting no sleep to finish this. Pray for me fr

SO. GOOD.

Ya IM OBSESSED with this book. Verghese is SUCH a good writer omg!!! The characters. The perspectives. The character development. Omg 😭

So so soooo excited about this one!

Currently drowning in hw and 144 pages of this are due tmrow. Pls help. Just thought I’d let the GR community know about my struggle!

Slowly getting the hype. Not as love-at-first-chapter as Percy Jackson, but honestly love the characters. Hermione is a boss and she’s iconic!

Hahaha here we go guys ⚡️🤠

YESSSSSSS

After reading 70 pages of this book today, I am slowly losing it. It’s ok tho, cuz it’s only 11:56pm and I have but 57 pages to go 😭🤓

Really struggling to get into this; let’s hope it starts to get more interesting to me. I do like Fanny Price a lot tho. The number of character in this book is just too confusing, and I keep getting lost on who’s who and who’s connected to who in what way. Maybe I’m just falling asleep while reading too much (I need to fix my sleep schedule). 😭😭😭

SO HYPE SO GOOD

Ahh why am I done 😭 The experience of this book was incredible. I feel like I lived with these characters for a month 😢

We are getting there and this book is growing on me a lot! I feel like the characters are friends that I don’t want to leave now 😢 especially Frannie and Larry and Stu.

So good :)

YES HOLLLY 👏

SO GOOD BRO

So excited for this and it is so good so far :)

This series is singlehandedly getting me through the stress of the college process 😀

So far I have no idea what my rating for this book is going to be! I can’t tell if I love or am indifferent to Rooney’s writing style, but I applaud her for writing in such a unique style nonetheless; it is refreshing to have a book with such a different style. Some of her descriptions are so vivid as well. Ex: “a bumblebee flew through the open window and cast a comma shadow on the wallpaper…” (98).

Not to be dramatic or anything (I’m obviously going to be dramatic) but this book reminds me how much I love Spanish. Like being able to read in Spanish now is such a nice feeling. I just read the Conexiones chapter of this book, and it was so moving! I am amazed that Panchito worked so hard in school and even got himself a job (not rly a spoiler). The fact that this is a memoir makes it that much more incredible!
