I can't seem to "hold strong" with this book. The events have become way more intense, and I think I have to be in the right headspace to continue reading it. I really like it though.

I still have a long way before I finish listening to the audiobook, but so far, I am enjoying it. Watching the Netflix docu first seemed like a good idea before reading this book just to have visual context of some of the events mentioned.

I want to like this because I enjoyed The Stand In so much.

However, I find the main protagonist an exhausting and a toxic character. I can't even believe that she's already in her 30s based on the decisions she made. For a supposedly successful lawyer, she sure is a naive one.

I love, love Phillipa Soo as the audiobook narrator, so at least there's that.

What a weird retelling. I was confused most of the time while listening to the audiobook.

The narration, however, is excellent.

I'm having secondhand embarrassment while reading this book.
There's so much immaturity throughout the book.

Also, I couldn't stop making parallels between the real SNSD and the events I'm reading.


Welp.

I want to drop this so bad!!!
I can' believe this books has such a high rating.

It took me 10 chapters to start enjoying this book.

I don't care about Alanik, but I have to finish this before reading Evershore.

I'm so tired Spensa saying "SKUD" most of the time.

DNF!
1 more hour before finishing the audiobook, but I've decided to DNF it.
The FL is unlikeable, fake, and had no character development.

Actually, most characters felt flat. Sure, they're punks, but they're just same throughout the book.

I have no plans on listening to this just yet, but I saw on my Audible app that it'll be removed from the Plus catalogue.

The fight at the Ministry of Magic was unnecessarily long. It's a chore to get through thr entire thing.

Predictable but cute.

I'm thinking of dropping this.
Too much personal life of the narrator.

You know Mallory, if you could have ever stopped casting blame, you'd probably get further in life.

- the Mom was 100% right.

I'm listening to the audiobook, and I'm not sure if it's also the same withthe book itself. Why is it necessary to spell words like H-O-T instead of just saying hot? It's not like it's a curse word.
The worse part? It didn't happen just once but multiple times.

Why do I keep on reading multiple POVs in this book when the title says that the story is about a librarian.

The title of this book should be "The People of Auschwitz" since this somehow contains little stories of the people there.

Moreover, I'm almost halfway through this book, and yet... the library was barely talked about.
