Holy smut, Batman. I can’t listen to this at work if I want to keep my job.

My god, is this a struggle. There’s nothing quite like being interrupted by your boss as you’re frantically trying to skip past a diatribe about Nazi women in latex dresses.

I’m trying this again. Physically reading it wasn’t as smooth-sailing as I’d hoped, so we’re audiobooking this baby.

This man has Stockholm syndrom with these petulant, whiny 27-year-old teenagers.

Curse my stubbornness. This book is horrific and I am solely finishing it because I’m not getting my masochism itch scratched anywhere else (and I’m not saying this book is sexy— I’m saying it’s torment)

Please dear god let this be over, this author’s condescension and pretentious anecdotes make me want to scream. Only reason I’m not DNF-ing it is that the factual elements are fascinating.

The story is good, but this audiobook reader sounds exactly like the Google Maps voice.

I knew what was coming. I prepared myself for it. And yet, it still bludgeons me with a grief I was unprepared for.

Once you approach the end of the chapter "The Happy Years", do yourself a favor and read in private. I have done the hard work for you, and now all the students at the Danish Technical University have seen me ugly cry in the middle of their library.

This is the hardest book I've ever read in terms of content. I feel like I'm being emotionally tormented but I can't stop because I just want there to be a happy ending (and it's also beautifully written)
