I'd ask if it gets better but I'm in too deep regardless

this is solid so far but anyone who says that you can't tell he was paid by the word is LYING

I have not finished this but I feel morally obligated to tell you as soon as possible that this is the best audiobook I've ever listened to and you need to put it on hold rn

“I looked down and realized that in my nervousness I had compulsively written down the recipe of a Scottish dessert which is a comfort meal for me” is the new “I let out a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding”

**potentially spoiler-y quote. also this isn't a final edition. just ignore me, i just needed to make note of this**
"So why would I want to have a catch-up lunch? Why would I settle for a watered-down relationship when I once had everything?

i am LOVING this to the point where I felt the urge to do a mid-book update for the first time since my years of book blogging lol. audiobook is 10/10. i told myself I was only allowed to listened while working out but I felt compelled to cheat

This is the THIRD BOOK IN A ROW I’ve read where characters say “frack” instead of the f-bomb or even the more traditional “frick”? And I just? Irrationally hate it with every ounce of my being?

I have hundreds of unread books I'm excited about and I've decided to reread Twilight... try to stop me.

“It is not even that I care so much as it is we are in so deep. Let us finish it.” (402)
Perfectly describes how I feel about this book.

This book is such hot garbage I don't even know what to do anymore.

I would like to formally apologize. It was not a whole paragraph that was copy and pasted from an earlier section. It was TWO PAGES.

THIS INANE, REPETITIVE TEXTBOOK, WHICH COST ME $126, LITERALLY HAS THE SAME PARAGRAPH COPY AND PASTED FROM PAGE 20 TO PAGE 182.
I am confident that this is not the only time this happens. I knew I wasn't insane. This is the most ridiculous book I have ever read. Not to mention pages 126 to 135, which inexplicably contain exclusively charts that are never discussed or elaborated on??? Someone please help me.

I'm already reading literally THIRTEEN other books and I have two papers due but it really just felt like the perfect day to start reading this for the seventh time.

THIS IS THE WORST. I literally feel like I'm going insane. I must be accidentally reading the same chapter over and over again. There is literally no way a published textbook is this repetitive. At least it is consistent in content because the formatting is all over the place. Are words in bold vocabulary? Emphasized? Both? Just for funzies? NO WAY TO KNOW

If I had a typo for every time this book randomly roasted Gudykunst and Kim, I would ~almost~ have more typos than are in this book

This has been the most frustrating, repetitive, incoherent textbook I have ever been forced to purchase and read. Should I be posting this online when my professor helped to write this and I am still in his class? I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. My brain is dissolving. Knowing that in a couple months I will be done and can rate this one star is all that keeps me going.
