i keep laughing out loud bc this is obviously written by someone who is actually from the midwest. i don’t think there’s any other way the author could possibly know what ‘squeaky cheese’ is

dnf at 51%. the writing itself is really good but it’s so flowery that i can’t always follow what’s going on. the book also doesn’t have a lot going on by way of plot so maybe that’s also the problem lol

absolutely expertly written

i’m only reading this for a book club or i wouldn’t have picked it up. i’m so sorry but so far it reads like a wattpad story

absolutely horrifying 🙃

it’s written so well, i’m learning a lot of great new words, but it’s soooooooo dramatic

i genuinely do not know if i can finish this book because it is that disturbing

this is the first book i’ve read in a long time where i truly feel that i can’t put it down

so far it reads like a super long book report or analysis on nabokov’s books, i hope it gets a little less like this

so far i find this to be super annoying and really white feministy but i have heard it gets better so i guess i’ll try to stick it out

This is the exact sort of book I would’ve made my entire personality when I was 15.

I’m really trying to like this, but the narrator’s jaded millennial way of interacting with the world is ruining it for me

I don’t really understand why they have set off to do this huge trek across Europe with literally zero planning? And why wasn’t there any prep or information at the beginning of the book??
