This fish and chips themed snogging sounds disgusting. I could not handle kissing during a meal that is just too nasty

Her dad reminds me of Sweeney todd

Honestly that was such a realistic and relatable conversation about religion. Priests love answering questions from naive teenagers about jesus. Also that was so cute. It kinda reminds me of the priest from daredevil. I wish I had a good priest in my life to chat to. The ones with my school were both weird. Catholics are good but im always so unlucky to meet the weird ones. There's good and bad. this scene was good.

Oh okay yeah I get it now wtf.

Her mom forced her to marry the guy that got her pregnant instead of taking her to get an abortion?? This fucking christianity shit just brings me back to high school. Some grown dude yelling at a bunch of 16 year olds in the auditorium of how youre evil and immoral for getting pregnant and having an abortion.

I just hate this part of religion, and yeah I get why she cut you off wtf

"I thought id marry in America, when the man Jacob aller was courting me. He was a Jewish man, not the sort you'd meet on my island. My father would've died from the shock of it had he known, but it never came to that point. If he'd been willing to listen I could have told him how much the jews are like the irish." Carey 122

Wtf bro

But also relatable. My dad would probably kill me if I married a black dude

BRO ANTISEMITISM MUCH???

I personally learned the our father in german actaully thank you very much book. Cuz I went to catholic school and took german. Literally the school was called "o'connell" offered latin spanish french and german. and all the kids were so white and a few red heads. I am the irish american, maam.

I am the demographic of this book. Come at me.

So much catholic in this book. i feel like I should be offended

"I'm going"
"Great!"

god I love Steven. He's just the 28 year old broke musician who happened to be dating a 33 year old with a 15 year old daughter when she caught cancer and fucking died.

He didn't sign up for this lol

Wtf this mom is too comfy telling her daughter everything. She walks in on you fucking and ur like "yeah he was having an orgasm it was funny"? Wtf

I agree with being honest with children but that's too far for me.

This makes me uncomfortable ngl. Especially the teenager being written by a 65 year old women whose children are probably 40. It just reads like a memoir but a bad one of an american "of irish descent"
