crazy wittgenstein reference dropped

Begins with a quote by Wittgenstein

I appreciate how quickly the revolution happened in the plot. I’m halfway through and I’m still on the side of the pigs.

I’m so ready to finally read this book. I have high expectations.

Also the tirades on Greek are annoying

Julian is kind of 1D. The characters in general weren’t really brought to life.

I watched the Netflix show first and really enjoyed it. Having a lot of trouble with this book.

The different modes of narration, letters, poems, and newspaper articles is really disruptive to the story and does not make me want to keep reading.

Hoping the actual story will be told soon.

Really enjoying the book. Jeannette does a great job portraying the complicated enmeshment of her and her mom. While I’ve always believed parents of child stars are all awful people, Jeannette can make the reader feel the sympathy she carried for her mom during her childhood. And then we get snapped back to reality by her awful actions.
