this book making me ask myself if I’m in love wtf

“ ‘my garden takes care of me like my own mama.’ I can die happy. “ ok crying myself to sleep gn

part 2 was confusing me a little bit but looking at the part names again it makes a lot more sense. Just picked up the book from Toppings so now I’m reading not listening to

Mapache’s Swinging Stars and this last chapter. Stunning. Review incoming, but need to process first.

post-alps travel session: I was getting really annoyed with Welsh’s self-absorption and then there was a moment of self-reflection about why i was annoyed and then realised that either way i wasnt paying attention to the book anymore.

P.S. arrived in Edinburgh and had to remind myself “I chose to be here”

Welsh really wrote this chapter to brag about himself. Shouldve kept this one in the diary babes..

Mark is too reliable of a narrator i need more unreliability

ST MONANS REPRESENT i hate it here

Listening on audiobook; one hour in and already reassessing my understanding of the world

lowkey i feel u nicksy

oh Begbie you’ve lost all my respect

jesus christ okay sometimes this can really drag on but then a chapter like this comes out and drags me through the mud

nah okay Simon is pure scum I’ve lost all sympathy for him

gonna try to make this chapter a reality lets see how it goes

Oh a fun little Tommy chapter haven’t had one of those since book #1!!

SHORTER CHAPTERS RISE UP!!!! love it we are so back even though I am about to piss myself on this bus with an hour to go

Didnt read all this in one sitting just forgot to update; so far Welsh is testing me with these chapters that are longer than 5 pages but I’ll allow it x

this book might just be 500 pages of boy gossip

yeah ditto my previous update; shitting my pants

i spend most of my waking hours afraid of franco begbie

this porn business is brutal man

i really should be going to the pharmacist for my pinkeye but i woke up and had to finish this chapter and Simon didnt disappoint

ohhhhhhhh we’re finally getting to the porn part okay yeah I guess I shouldve guessed

late update but I had to log on p. 174 that I think women think about hands in a slightly different way, Welsh

thank you to all my supporters who read my progress updates — this time we have a little hesitancy at Welsh’s first person female writing but also I rate the formation of a fuckboy female character

Oh yeah get into it

using all my energy not to finish this before I’m back in scotland but I’ve just been reading on my ams-edi flight and I was just tearing up the whole time the writing has just made my heart so heavy and sympathetic

oh that escalated oh I’m so invested once again reveal it all to me please make everything make sense oh wow oh wowo wow

another update just to say that I’m super invested and laughing again and the tapeworm thing is starting to get actually compelling rather than weird and cringe

damn Bunty I’d fall for it too — this guy is like the hot barkeep you find in dnd when you’re low on HP and he’s got goated charisma
