Bold of me to start reading during midterm szn

So far, this is just beautifully written. I can feel it's beauty, vulnerability, and rawness in every word. Also, I think I might have just found a good processing activity from the chapter "Where are we going?"

I've honestly just been reading this the whole day and it's very easy to digest. Michelle always describes food very well, and also her internal struggles and her relationship with her mom, dad, and other familial figures.

But realizing this is a memoir, meaning it's nonfiction...this is really sad and heavy. It's honestly, yeah, depressing. But it's in a way that's so beautifully written.

Oh my god...

Gods, I feel like this is going to hit me right where my mother issues hurt.

Gods, I've been reading this book for over a month because of school!

But, I'm really enjoying this book. One thing that makes me love a book is the way it can transport me into their world. This definitely lives up to that. I can smell another 5 stars from this already!

Also, I hate myself starting to think Howl is handsome ugh! I feel like his suits are working on me too ngl...

ALSO I FEEL SO BAD FOR SOPHIE huhu

I'm starting to love Michael and Calcifer but idk about Howl dawg😭

HOWL'S SUCH A BITCH BRUH WHAHAHHA

Why is Howl such a bitch in the book? HWHHAHAH

I'm already liking Sophie so much😭

I'm very biased because I'm also the eldest of three and I feel like my dutifulness is exploited by my own mother. They were right that book Sophie is sassy, she's also funny, please!😭😆

I'M SO SCARED FOR PIP, PLEASE😭

HUHUHU PIP AND RAVI ARE SO CUTE😭

This is lowkey stressing me out now😭

I like the character's so far, maybe I just need a bit more time to get attached or get to know them. I actually do wanna like them.

What I do know is that I'm not liking Andie Bell so far😭 She's so fucked up and mean. Like I understand why she was like that but fuck man...
I don't understand how Sal could date someone like Andie.

I like the representation so far for both neuro divergency and gender identity/sexual orientation. Although it's really fast paced, like some scenes just pass by so quick. Also, Adam is such a great brother. Rest in Peace.

I genuinely thought this book was gonna be freaky when I read page 18 and I wanted to drop it because it started off really wrong, but now that I'm reading further into it, I was relieved that it was just about self-discovery of Clare's gender identity and sexual orientation. It was just really hard to read it during the first part but eventually it gets better. Phew.
