I can read about 10 pages of this at a time. Every chapter feels the same.

I love this

Finally getting into it

This book is RIFE with errors- were no proofreaders available?? She must’ve used at least a little bit of AI, because her earlier books don’t have the same problem. I’m going to finish it just to make sure the one-star review is justified.

Second paragraph: “I called, putting a ten down for my lunch”
Later paragraph ON THE SAME PAGE: “So I put a ten down on the table for my food…”

Wtf. Was your food $20? Or you just forgot you already wrote that less than a page ago…

I think I might be locked in a prison of my own nostalgia.

“I wish I’d known that it isn’t anybody’s job to stay in a relationship they don’t want to be in just so someone else doesn’t feel bad about themselves.” (270)

I’ve read 4 other books since I started this one. That should tell you how into it I am. I’m finally starting to actually want to read it.

“Now and then he will repeat to Margaret a particular anecdote he has already told… sometimes it seems he just wants to tell it again in exactly the same way, perhaps to relieve some of the pressure of keeping all these stories inside himself all the time”.

Suffering through Jake tapper’s Biden impression

“The outside world touches against her outside skin, but not the other part of herself, inside.” (195)

“It feels powerful to him to put an experience down in words, like he’s trapping it in a jar and it can never fully leave him.” (163)

Starting to get really sus.

Take a shot every time she says “certified bookkeeper”
