so much rage bait from these men

Ok, a section is about kneeling your audience and I think truly it boils down to it being for an audience of women of a certain age going through “the change” and needing a bookclub book. I see its appeal for the audience and would recommend for that. As not being in the audience, it’s like, fine.

ok, so first like 4th was a 1 star for me, but I’m thinking it’s growing into a 3 star. But maybe I’m being optimistic. Here is hoping!

Benna ily sm girl

Wdym it’s a trilogy and only one is out. See this is why I don’t do this to myself. 😭😭😭

less than a hundred pages left and I’m like no I need 500 more stat

Want to dnf alas I chose it bc or broader bookshelf and want to check it off. Rip.

Chapter 2 and ids giving meant for a disgruntled wives bookclub. Like, maybe get a divorce instead? Idk. Hoping it’s just exposition.

WHAT

Not even through chapter one is this just supposed to be super tropes of men being the worst and women suffering because of it. It’s a little too on the nose? But, shout out to man (ew) getting got by a fungus.

“The secret of harmony was variety.”

It’s giving a more young voiced yellow face by RF Kuang

honestly I enjoyed this look into how actions can be received in the work place. an easy, reflective work.

She learns she’s underpaid and in a sense of justice takes extra from the break room…. Is my break room the one with cameras??

Mrs. Danvers not a girls girl

“The things we do to girls” truly horror

Ok, girlhood. Girls supporting girls, we got there.

Hans, what?!

Eating it up. Where’s the buzzfeed test on my guardian?!

Chapter two and there’s a footnote and “Family jokes. Powerful things.” All ready sat for this.

Orlando realizing everyone is in a relationship and deciding to be in love with nature and then pretending to be dead to be found my a man and immediately getting engaged is the kind of hijinks I want to get up to. So silly goose.

A surprisingly cheeky adventure on the passage of time and literature in conjunction with life. Definitely feels like something I would have studied in an English course. The style is satirical and bouncy, which is a bit of fun.

Camille is actually so annoying

ok better than the beginning which is good but I also think I’ll forget it in a year

Expected more from this. Poorly written, paced poorly, low key boring, and again getting into too many povs. I’m on a bad thriller streak and it’s making me sad.

ok so like I did cry oopsies

“The complicated thing about good and bad people alike is that most of us can be both at the same time.”

I’m pretty sure I at minimum tear up once a chapter and make a knife to heart motion every other chapter. Frequency higher than the first book but I haven’t wept like I did for the first one in the series. And, I call that balance and also acknowledge there is still time for that. It’s so good in the most painful way.

Backman is just too good.

Last chapter, guess what… new pov. And guess what? Who did it was exactly who I expected. Author tried for such outlandish twists it became a simple circle. Great. Wasted my time. But, the audio book quality was really good I’ll say they did a stellar job. Just bad material. First Feeney for me and last for a long time.
