Started off so slow but now finally chapters 20 and onwards are picking up the pace!!!

I smell a strong five stars…

Why am I struggling to enjoy this?? This really is no plot just vibes..

Tell me why I’m getting A Little Life vibes…

It only took about 150 pages for me to get into it lol. NOW I feel like I know the characters. Trust the process maybe?

I already feel attached to the characters. Even more so after watching the trailer for the movie! I’ve never treated up from a movie trailer until now…

Strane, the bag of filth!

The fact that this is a dual timeline makes a worlds difference to how impactful this story is. I smell a 5 star…!

Never got this much ttt from a book let alone the first third

IF ONLY THE FIRST 70% OF THE BOOK HAD THE THRILL OF CHAPTER SEVEN

Why does it feel like I keep losing the plot

Lowkey forcing myself to finish this yawn fest so I can earn my next DNF. Why couldn’t it be more of a character study on her relationship with her parents, Trevor, and Reva, than all the sleeping pill talk?

Reading this is like listening to that one colleague who never stops talking

Making you as a little girl shower with your 16 year old brother is crazy

DNF. I tried so hard to get into this. 115 pages in. Tried the audiobook too. But nothing. Especially as a Persian, some lines here and there were worthy of my attention but holistically this felt like the biggest drag. Sounded like an episode from that reality show ‘The Valley’.

Still bored. Took me four days to read four pages

Lowkey bored

He better not die. Js.

I can smell five very strong bright stars. Omg. My heart is pounding reading chapter 27. Trying not to cry in the middle of my work day and hilariously trying to find a quiet place for me to enjoy this in peace as it nears the end.

“What personal pain he had carried inside, she would never know”.
Try not to cry challenge: Level ‘the sweetest character dies and leaves a void in the protagonist’s heart’ aka level impossible.
In the middle of doing my makeup too :(((((

Love the Sweden references.

I’m obsessed with the Sweden references.
“A successful chicken pot pie is like a society that functions at a highly efficient level. Call it Sweden.” LIKEEEE

Loving it but still trying to recover from that death

After chapter 11 it literally became unputdownable. Mr. Salmon is also now one of favorite fictional men :(((<3

So not only is he a child murderer but also a zoosadist???

Yawn….

What in the fucking word vomit was that nonsense

So unhinged and sometimes I wonder what’s the point yet I can’t dnf it. The anticipation of how this will end is really keeping me at arm’s length
