ART 🤣🤣🤣

Man, when you think this can't get crazier, it sure does

This is walking dangerously close to miscommunication trope. Hope I'm mistaken.

I was starting to think the "fist me" was only a movie thing. Glad to hear it isn't 🤣

(and boy does that sound weird out of context 🤣)

The curiosity got to me, loool

This is some freaking funny book

"Humans are unusual" You're right about that, buddy 🤣

"Knock, knock, knock"

Eeeeeekkkkk 🤩🤩🤩

"Holy fucking shit!!!"
Yep, that would be thing that would get anyone to cuss 🤣

This book is such a great example of how wonderful it is to listen to people talk about something they're genuinely passionate about. I mean, I understand approximately 0.000135% of the maths and science, but Grace is so enthusiastic about it that it's an absolute delight to read.

Also, the lack of proper cussing (along with some of Grace's other teacher habits) is so fucking endearing and it always cracks me up.

"I penetrated the outer cell membrane with a nanosyringe."
"You poked it with a stick?"
"No!" I said. "Well. Yes. But it was a scientific poke with a very scientific stick.

Loving the nerd humour in this book 🤣

"Kindness. Sometimes people need it, even if they don't know how to ask for it" 🥹

This book can't be good for my sanity. Then again, it might be exactly what I need.

I go brawling my eyes out one second and laughing my ass off the next. It can go from heartfelt and wholesome in an instant to absolutely insane and hilarious a few sentences after...

Have I told you lately how much I LOVE THIS FUCKING SERIES?!?!!!?!

Man, these Book of Doom entries are getting to me. HARD.
I was a sobbing mess listening to the one in chapter 62.

I might not have been listening to audiobooks for all that long, but I’m pretty sure Chapter 57 is the pinnacle of audiobook narration. (Can we even call it just narration anymore?)

Peak performance by Jeff Hays. Absolutely fucking brilliant.

My jaw was dragging farther across the floor than Dong Quixote’s spunky sock.

The continuous Ed Sheeran bashing in this book is sending me 🤣🤣🤣 (and I even kinda like Ed Sheeran)

The characters' development in this series is beautiful to watch. I love them more and more each page.

I love when Mean Oliver comes out and play for a litte bit 😁

Chapter 48 isn't any bit less devastating on a reread. Even when you know what it's coming. Even when you know how it all ends

Oh Oliver... I want to hug you and smack you in the head at the same time.

Re-reading this one is bringing me so much joy. I am swooning and kicking my feet all over again.

Pairing the reread with the audiobook has also proven to be a very smart choice. It’s just making me fall even deeper in love with these characters.

- "You really own your illiteracy, don't you?"
- "Yeah, I'm thinking about moving to America and running for public office"
Sadly still a very pertinent joke, 6 years after release date.

That was TOO CLOSE for comfort!!!!!!! I DID NOT appreciate that!

You know that part of the book when you KNOW something heartbreaking is about to happen so you just put the book down for a bit because you're not ready for it yet? Yeah 😬

Jeff Hays is even flawless when cussing in Portuguese 🤣

These hugs, man ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

One minute something is happening that is keeping all your focus, the next you go "WTF?" Because something else happened but you have no idea how, and the next second "BAM!!" everything happens all at once and you feel more overloaded than the warlords menu.
My face has been stuck in a confused grimace for about 10 minutes, lool. I'm going to sue Matt Dinniman for the extra wrinkles 🤣

YES!!!! Backup has arrived 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Ok, let's find out what the fuss is all about
