While this book is total tea, I feel some discomfort about the fact that 100 pages of the second section is just about all of Natalie wood’s “affairs” with older men when she was a teenager. Like why is that the focus……….. while the author definitely points out the moral implications of these gross ass 30+ year old men, I do wonder why the author thinks all of this is insanely important……

You mean to tell me Natalie wood has an “affair” with Frank Sinatra when she was 14… and when she was 16 had an “affair” with her director of rebel without a cause who was 43 years old at time time … insane tea ……. I can’t put this down…

This book is such tea already and I’m not even 20 pages in….

Wow how do my books keep lowkey mentioning Armenians … Natalie Wood’s half sister Olga is half Armenian……… so epic ………..

This book is like a fever dream.. took me like 180 pages to get really into it but I’m really into it! Some lowkey Armenian narratives in it too.. surprised yet delighted me!

It holds up! Part of me is so surprised this was a book I read in my sophomore English class … it’s like 1984 meets high tech. Very relevant to today …

Read this my sophomore year of high school and it blew my mind then. Curious how it holds up twelve years later …

I came here to say.. THE TWIST 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s taking all my power to not read the last 20 pages … I’ve been reading a chapter a day as a part of my morning routine and it’s been incredible. I want to savor the last 2 chapters … Linda never fails to uplift me …

Linda is just something else, I’ll tell you what

No surprise this is already making me cry … Linda is so thoughtful and intelligent ..

You already know what the flip is up

The plot twist after part II.. daaaamn

This book rocks so far! I love the intersection of graphic design with theoretical texts … a great break for the brain while keeping me engaged

Is it cheating if I’m trying to catch up with my reading challenge by reading a graphic novel ..

Hosseini has an incredible way of writing about diaspora .. longing for a home that doesn’t exist anymore ..

Woo woo wah wah era
