I may be too much of a pessimist for these self-help type books to work on me. Seems like an issue. No need to address it lol

These books on how to chill tf out always end up talking about some famous monks. I could be enlightened too if my entire job was to sit around in a pretty garden and be enlightened.

I wonder if she has BPD, and if that was considered a thing yet.

This might be one of the first instances of a manic pixie dream girl

How can a book have this many cool elements but still be this hard to read

Okay but why is it giving YA chosen one a bit

Girl I am SLOGGING through this book and the most annoying part is I can't figure out why I can't get into it. It has a lot of cool pieces that can be used later on, the MC doesn't fully suck or anything, but I can not read a full page without my attention drifting. If it was bad I could say 'it's just bad' but I just can't put my finger on why this book isn't clicking.

Ugh, I think there's going to be a romance subplot in this. Which I'm not exactly against, I've just been fortunate enough to read several books in a row in which that wasn't a thing.

This book is mostly good except when the author pops out of the page, cups my face and whispers, "The monster is capitalism." Like yeah I probably would have gotten there without the help.

Holy crapppppppp that first story was really something

Finally, a protagonist almost as pathetically anxious as I am.

Really encapsulates the feeling of 'needing to do something to help or I am responsible' and 'not having the faintest clue of how to help.'
