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

omg never updated my progress until now since I’ve been in amsterdam and 10/10 experience to read those chapters in tandem with getting my edi-ams flight

im actually impressed by the way welsh writes from a woman’s perspective

jesus fucking christ

goddamn we’re lost without baby boy sweetheart Spud i just know shits gonna go down with Rent promoted to welfare officer

AWW MY BOYS

someone asked me why I read shit like this and idk if I can verbalise it but what I do know is that it makes me wince and cry and gag and laugh

I expected none of this and i am so pleasantly surprised

stopping right before they get to amsterdam, gotta save it for my trip

why is this the genre of book that I fw
