It’s really hard to read when you’re having a BTS discovery and Off Campus binge-watch June. I’m 34 btw.

Oh my god I blacked out and when I came to I was halfway through this book. I need help. I’m an addict. I needed a fix. I’m on my 3rd rewatch of this show in one week. AND THIS BOOK IS SO BAD. No. This ends here. Do you hear me?!??? I’M DONE. I’m not reading any more of this.

We need to arrest everybody

This is the worst book I’ve read this year.

YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. It took YEARS of testing before this lady was diagnosed? Ma’am—Emma—I diagnosed her from the first page she was mentioned. THIS BOOK HAS TO BE A JOKE.

Why is no one in this book considering the fact that the entire cast of this improv show (the stupidest show I’ve ever heard of) are actively scabbing during the 2007 writers strike?

No because we need to cancel booktok after this atrocity. Normally I like to learn about niche topics from fiction, but omg this book makes even IMPROV a snooze. I am dying from boredom. Was everyone lying about liking this? Is it an elaborate prank???!!!

To read “she released a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding” in 2026 is QUITE the experience. Is this a joke!???

I’m insufferable because I’m just sitting here arguing with the page saying things like “That’s not what the 2000s were like. A video store in 2000 would have more VHS tapes than DVDs. This author obviously hasn’t watched Casablanca recently.” I’m sorry but if you’re going to write a quirky, nerdy, pop culture book, you have to do it right.

Is it just me or is this written very badly? Is it going to get better? I haven’t read exposition this bad since Evelyn Hugo.

Justice for the women and horses 😭

Wait—am I supposed to feel bad for Lear?

Ugh I forgot I was supposed to read King Lear before I read this again

Understand that I love Anne more than anyone. I’m so upset that soon I won’t be able to read this book for the first time ever again.

Because why did I pick up a book that was basically a Twitter feed? I HATE Twitter. I’m exhausted.

I honestly can’t tell if I’m just stupid or if these descriptors, metaphors, and similes were written by AI. Wtf is “green waving gentleness” or “facial satisfaction?” What is “a cloudbank?” “The solid green marble of the day”—WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

I LITERALLY SCREAMED OUT LOUD WHEN I HEARD CRESTED BUTTE

I relate to this character so much that I wonder if *I* should kill myself…????

I’ll be honest, I don’t believe the hype, and I don’t expect to like this. But my Libby copy is expiring in 2 days so here I go.

Did it ever occur to this author that, at any point, she can stop killing off kittens???!????

This is going to sound very millennial and maybe very cringe, but I have never felt such deep, desperate feminine rage.

PLEASE TELL ME WE ARENT DOING TIKTOK TRENDS ON PAGE 194

Wait I got to the man’s part. Do men know what tennis bracelets are??????????????? Please comment below.

I am 8 min into this book and all I can do is stare incredulously at the vast openness of the sky above me and wonder how on a spinning rock in a universe of spinning rocks, this is the one where life miraculously formed out of nothing, and over the course of millions of years and millions of small miracles, the human race evolved, and then one of the humans chose to use their miraculously evolved brain to write this
