What real doctor is so against hospitals? I'm just saying..

'That's what it'll be" he says that like he's reading a list and picking a random diagnosis he wants to give. I'd hate for him to be my doctor.

Mystery man already knows the answer is that 'Sebastian' doesn't know. Mystery man is trying to make him sound crazyy

The concept of this book is very different from anything I've read. I think the intro chapter had a great start, it felt like the opening scene of a movie. That "How lost do you have to be to let the devil lead you home?" line is fire, it sounds like straight cinema.

As much as I love Jennette this book was not what I wanted it to be. There were parts I liked, nothing that I loved and most importantly it was disgusting! I mean way more vulgar than needed. I didn't gain anything from reading this. No excitement, no advice, no endearing feeling or a new perspective to expand my mind. It was just something to read and I finished it out of hope that it would get better :/

Tasted his drool? She is so fucking nasty.

Ew, absolutely not.

THE BACK ACNE COMMENT JUST TRIGGERED ME SO HARD LMAOO.

Loving this energy but I know it won't lasttt

This whole conversation is tiredddd

"Is he using his fantasy...to appease me?" YES. Not only is he giving her just enough to get what he wants but he is also giving her what he thinks she deserves. What he knows she will accept because she's not used to anything more.

The last line disturbed me immediately. I think it's the fact that this is someone's life right now and they aren't even aware.

“But they don’t want to actually know it. Be close to it any kind of real way.” This is how I feel about the Black Lives Matter movement. You can often feel the lack of dedication by people who claim to be allies. It’s easier for them to look like they care than to actually care and that’s where throwing money around comes in.

She's so real. I always feel satisfied when I please Sam. Seeing him out of breath, shocked or extremely content because of me and my body...it's kind of empowering lol.

Sniffing his seat?? Is she okay in the head??

"It's not that he's telling me I'm wrong, it's that I know I'm not." Exactly like is this some sort of manipulation tactic?? Pushing her away to make her want him more?? Nobody in their right mind is buying what he's selling! He knows he likes that girl, it's probably the fact that it happened in public that threw him off that's all.

"You can never really believe someone if all they're telling you is to be the same as they are."
This gives me the same vibe as Aunt Gervida or Quoota trying to give me advice about what I need to do education wise when neither of them is in a position I want to be in. I understand the advice and where it's coming from, but Waldo has a point, it's lackluster.

Something about the wife is very off to me, I feel like she's either cheating or hella manipulative in some way. Korgy is a creep on his own but there's something up with her too if you ask me... Also I feel like there's a chance she still sees her ex because even if they did breakup and the mom liked him a lot, as the ex why would he keep picking up if him and Gwen are completely over and have been for a while??

He is making all these (unethical0 efforts to "check in" and asking all of these questions like he is getting paid for it, eww!

Okay so his wife actually suggested it, very very strange!

Inviting a student over for dinner just because you feel like they are the most engaged and skilled out of the rest is very strange. Red flag #1 to be honest. And the way Mr.Korgy proposes the idea, it sounds like his wife agreed to the dinner and even that is a bit strange to me also…

"It's unsettling how often agreement doubles as giving up." This is a word for so many reasons.

Parents don't recognize enough how the remarks they say to children growing up tend to affect them. It's sad that I can relate to how Waldo feels about her mother's words and even more devastating that it's common for parents to completely deny or disregard the harsh things that they said. No accountability gets taken so their conscience remains clear while we are left to pick up the pieces that break at the memory..

"That I settled for pleasure when I wanted connection." Jeesh!

Liking someone enough to want to sleep with them only to be completely over it by the time it actually happens is arguably one of the worst and conflicting positions to be in. You wonder where things went wrong and almost start to feel obligated to have the sex because you've flirted and teased this person for so long, so I get why she continued (insert face palm).

A very STRONG start omg.. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't this at all. With that being said, I do like how raw and vulgar Jennette can be with her writing. I can't wait to get into it!
Also, I've been in this exact scenario more times than I'd like to admit and eeeyuckkk lmao! I know exactly how she feels and I hate that for us, but it's life (insert shoulder shrug).

"In the end you always crashed against the barricades of their love like the walls of a padded cell." I like this phrase because of the way it was worded but also because it is true. Parents naturally create this box of love and safety they intend to keep their children in; children tend to do their best to escape. One way or another, we find ourselves protected by their box, irritated by it nonetheless.

The last stanza where Susan gives the reader a bit of insight on the relationship with her mother sounds all too familiar to me. The entire page really, from her being overly cautious to the hot and cold interactions with one another. I can relate to this, and it is nice reading about it because in my opinion it is an overlooked topic despite it being a common experience.

"It proves little, except that perhaps in America, even a pig can aspire to immortality." This sentence was very interesting to me. I think it was meant in a sense that the pig is immortal through this story. Since the pig Jerusalem is the origin for the town's name, Jerusalem's lot, the pig "lives on" each time this story gets told even though it is physically dead (or at least I would hope so).
