Thats....the worst way I've ever heard to arrange a book store.
You can't stock much inventory, if you water plants you risk getting books wet, it's impossible to find things, your stock seems really limited based on where it goes in a house? It really, *really* reminds me of the first (and pretty much last) start of a story I wrote at like 12. Waaaaay too indulgently whimsical.

Jill is on page 206 of 416 of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine: A Novel
Still just weird-girl trauma-porn.
Inconsistent characterization interrupts and annoys me. Also she's rather nastier than I'd expect, but I guess that's the (VERY TRAGIC) echo of the judgement she's been subjected to.

I still don't really get it. It's like a worse version of Spinning Silver, just hornier for a beauty and the beast prince with claws. I probably don't like the narrator...

One other book I've read had a similar dedication but this is the #1 now. I'll stay angry! Thanks!
As usual it's nice to have a community and culture and be reflected

Wait wait wait wait wait wait, that's a flat out misinterpretation of the study.
It's not "more time to complete a task often means less efficient work"!
It's "working more hours leads to decreased output (per input)".
It's not that the task expands to fill the time, it's that you are worse at completing tasks after too much work. This is true for manual labor man, it's not ~one weird psych trick~.

AGONY. I shouldn't finish this.... I'm 1000% hate listening. This book was written by a goddamn child.

Who needs a hangover cure at 3 am?
How did you identify someone as a grad student when they just opened the door to a bar?

This book is just sooooooo...cutesy and full of self serving purple prose? Please please kill *some* of your darling ideas. Narration is not helping. I can't respect these characters.

How surprising and delightful to hear this book, read by the author, say "we" in reference to both fat and queer groups. 💜

There's definitely a numbers problem in this book
75,000 seemed like a good number of livestream viewers and then it jumps to 300,000 over a half hour. Fine fine sure but then the NASA soil scientist is ONLY 25!?!?! Your education would have to be pretty fast tracked...

Absolutely iconic. What a twist. What an icon. What a twisted icon. What a damn spiral, it's...a total diamond, I am so happy. I may have self actualized.

A perfect teleportation to getting stuck sitting without your friends in the high school chapel during a boring lecture and using the time to think about girl

This is so surprisingly funny and creepy! I'm highlighting passages and re-reading pages just to savor the writing. I will likely (hopefully?) wake up one day from a nightmare of having to write my thesis again too.

Okay but I could've read at least 50 more pages of petty store rivalry. What do you call an enemies- to-lovers without the to-lovers? A no-mance? Hate-ship?
