I have been reading the book 2x speed and i’m getting through the book a lot faster and i stopped reading it but just listening to the audio at one point

This was on Wednesday Jan 21 2026

this is definitely a book I want to buy for my library. It is a little cliche but it is also heart warming

I just want to be able to finish this challenge and not have to give omi $5

I couldn't sleep last night and was reading without the audio got through more than i expected. I am more than half way through the book and there is more holes that need to be filled in.

I am listening to the audiobook as I read on hoopla and the men's voices are oohh la-la. Also Lauren continues to reek of shit. I have so much disdain for her as a character. I feel like I am reading a novella, but a twisted dark version. Poor Mindy man her mind must all jacked up. And at first I thought Zack was going to a bad guy but my heart goes out to him

Lauren Ryder is full of bullcrap and she is probably one of the most selfish people i have ever met. She doesn't deserve to be a mother. She rather save her "reputation" than her daughter's life. Lauren Ryder is full of bullshit.

I really don't like Liesel, and i feel like there are missing hole to the book but hopefully as I read everything will being to make sense

I mean this is a short book. But I feel like this is all happening too quick. There isn't enough time for the plot to thicken The laptop retriveal that Alana did could've been an event that thickened. I mean the book started off slow and than just went south cause it feels to easy. There was not much battle for the events to line up the way they did.

tbh I rlly thought this book was going to be one that was going to be doused in romance with the cover and reading the tid-bit in the back of the book. But when i tell you this is probably one of the most SVU type of books i have read in the history of my reading career. Not to mention yesterday my siblings and I are on a SVU half marathon. Although I feel more drama that ms friedman can allude to...

Ms Madam Friedman did not disappoint at alll! the plot twist came a little sooner than i thought and i feel the roller coaster starting to gain some traction. We are transitioning from a walk to a speed walk. I am loving this gradual climax. Mr teddy you are one dirty dirty dog, I am just astonished. absolutely WOW!

So we are now about 3 chapters in and the book is still a little slow but a feel a juicy plot twist in the near future of the book. Please Please Pleaseeee!!! don't let me down ms friedman

we just finished the first chapter and we are off to a slow start....

Also pertaining to the letters to Iz. I want to try reading this book as if I am Iz and see f reading the letters alone adds a different feeling and emotion to them.

As much as this book is trying to put me in a reading slump i shall persevere! Im falling more & more w/ this book. Mim has a special place in my <3, i feel so connected to her character & her way of thinking. I<3 the little spread of italic inner thoughts mr arnold inserts here & there. I hope these letters to Iz have a purpose. Also I don't like how he gets me to think one thing is going to happen & it doesnt.

idk if it is bc of the events that are surrounding the time I am reading this. but I feel like I am losing it but it must be all in my head. Earlier this yr i started wanting to get tested for ADHD. this book makes me want to get tested even more now. Not in a bad way, I need to figure out the wiring of my brain just for clarity to I can work with it and not against it. PS i <3 Mim she is me i'm she in some aspects

This feels like a dark humor book about the complexities of a young teenage girl and I<3 it. It has a sense of humor that I crave while still dealing w/ the reality of her brain chemistry differences. It sorta reminds me of me in the sense that the way she deals with certain things is a bit extreme. She doesn't take things all the way seriously but she also takes matters into her own hands.

Can I just say, I am definitely reading this book out of order from its series? But I must say I am still able to understand, nothing is being taken away from the experience of the book. And this woman Jane so far a 10/10 in my book. what a badass.

I have reached the juicy, cheesy, cringy high school part of the book and I love it. The whole ordeal of Olivia having to stay underground from her family just to keep her reputation kinda feels dragged. When I got to Chapter 8ish she said "But I'm halfway through. Two days down, two to go" I was like STILL in my head. But I am glad we are getting to the part we all have been waiting for L & O sitting in a tree...

We are getting to the juicy 'gay' portion of the book. Where things start to transpire that is worth a reaction. The middle/high school side of me is starting to show more as I read. I just hope it doesn't disappoint. Will it disappoint?
