I love Juliet and I'm loving this book. Then I get stuck in a loop of thinking "why do I identify with this book so much" then "why am I making this about me? It's not about me." And then "I know, so why do I identify with it so much?" But also, all these women-only spaces make me nervous about how terf-y some of these characters might be (especially with all the emphasis on pussies and menstruation)

Only a day before the new one comes out is a bad time for a reread but I'm pretty excited

Oh! I already had the audiobook of this.

Rereading. A favorite that I want everyone in my department to read so I can pay to have him come down to speak to us.

I'm only ok on this book and my library loan's about to expire so I might stop

Ugh this cover.

Also almost done with this, but it's amazing.

Ugh, no. So close to being done.

This book is so great.

Finally a book to break my streak of books I wasn't really feeling.

I am officially in a slump! Gonna finish this (a little more than halfway through the audiobook) but not feeling it.

Oh my gosh so boring. Wondering if I'll finish. Guess what I don't care about? Faith in God.

Gonna give this the eight pages it will take to reach the end of this chapter, but I think I'm giving up on this.

Gave up and started listening to the audiobook, now I'm powering my way through it at 1.25x speed.

I'm a quarter of the way through this book but the ebook bundle I have just tells me that I'm 82% done with the whole thing. A week ago I was 78% done. I just checked a hard copy and am so happy I'm making progress through this boring book!

I am finding this boring and the characters to be the worst. Going to give it another hour or two.

This book is dumb, but he seems to be having a lot of fun writing it, which just a few pages in seems charming.

This is so good and brutal, how are people not still reading it?

Am I missing something? I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm disliking this, but I'm not enjoying reading it. Nearly everyone I'm friends with on here has read and loved this, so I'm hoping the second half reveals why.

Skipped one of the four, the sci-fi "The Reason for It" but liked the other three quite a bit.

Slow and quiet, this took awhile to get into but now I'm really enjoying it and wondering who else I might convince to read it.

Really liking the book and the author and looking forward to discussing with Heewa!

Definitely middle grade, this is too slow and boring to listen to as an audiobook.
