one chapter in and i already feel ill…which i know is the point but still 😭😭

can anyone tell me if/when this gets interesting?

hey just warning everyone that if this ends how i fear it will then i’m giving up. not just on books, but in general. stay tuned!

i want to take every person i have ever met and shake them by the shoulders and scream “YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER YOU WANT KIDS BEFORE YOU ARE MARRIED!!!!” before you’re engaged, even!!!! and check in about it!!! having the kids convo should be like working in adobe indesign. save early, save often. talk about wanting kids (or not) early, talking about wanting kids (or not) often!!

it is at this point in the novel that i would be in prison for double homicide…the audacity of men

dare i say…rainbow rowell is back?? i’m having a great time idk

also if you told teen me that i would be reading a rainbow rowell book early…i might have collapsed

i can’t believe i’m sad about a frog rn (actually very on brand for me)

i thought i was just reading this incredibly slowly (which isn’t untrue) but turns out this book is long as hell!!

episode three of the silly gay hockey show got me reading this series again lmao scott hunter has endeared me!!

ay yo goodreads, next time you update this godforsaken app with another minor tweak to its appearance that effectively does nothing to improve the user experience on this hellsite, can you PLEASE address any of the concerns we all have been asking about for years??

beginning the reread and jesus christ what did i get myself into

draymond green??? what are you doing here?????

“whether you want to or not you end up reproducing the structure of your childhood” speak for yourself, buddy. a well-trained team of scientists in a top-grade lab couldn’t reproduce the clusterfuck that i lived through

“i was looking for the river but couldn’t find it” the river, as in the allegheny river?? how can you not find the allegheny?? i’m so sorry but the pittsburgh geography of this book is totally distracting me from anything else lmao

hey yeah sorry, did this guy just imply that cmu was in DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH???? sir this is oakland

need em hen to give me a reason to care about these characters

pittsburgh, employment law, nba talk…this book is pandering to me personally

i’m tired of this grandpa

i’m throwing tomatoes in my mind

blurbed by rachel kushner (negative), hernan diaz (positive), and lauren groff (neutral)…i am scared

finishing this today because i refuse to allow it to burden another day of my life

i cannot stress how WEIRD i find this book to be

hey yeah so wtf am i reading lol

jonathan penner you will always be famous

i can’t tell if this is a sign i should watch more reality tv or a sign that i watch just enough (barely any)

my return to the book side of the internet will be so epic that they will write about it in history books (i'm going to read a book for fun and post about it on the internet this week)

i can't believe that after all this time, goodreads was like, "i know what's wrong with our app: the logo!"

these people are so annoying lol

clawing my way through this book page by page for the sake of a literary prize it didn’t even win

power outages and insane bus detours mean lots of reading, i love this book so much
