Amusing stuff. The kind that makes you chuckle out loud.

It’s early on in the book but so far … I hate it. Hate the writing, the dialogue, the characters, etc. Will give it some more time. Was expecting better writing from something on the NYT’s bestseller list. Maybe I’m
missing something …

This book is terrible.

Where it jumped the shark? The Gifts of Understanding

(I also believe the author is a dude who has never done drugs but tried to write about drugs.)

Don't think I can finish it.

I only picked this book because after searching for 14 books and going 0 for 14, I just picked at random, whatever caught my eye. This was one. The inside of the jacket and the first page of the book made it look like a winner.

So far, it's painful (yet given good reviews on here). The course of events from how certain characters got from A to B doesn't fly with me.

I'll finish it simply bc I'm almost there.

Trying to be open-minded. So far, I’m struggling with her descriptions of anxiety and it makes me feel more isolated in mine. I haven’t been able to relate yet. I also really find her/her writing annoying. She uses words like rat-baggy, kerkuffles, suction-y, shwooping, thyroid-y, sukshma-ish, out-of-sync-ness, etc. She’s repetitive and a bit too intense for me. I’m trying to stick with it. May have to skim.
