definitely could've been worse? I dunno, is that mean to say? Overall, I can't deny Rooney's talent for writing. it's a craft, and she has honed that skill, alright! There were some parts I was definitely jiving with the creative prose and captivating character beats, but overall I was distracted by the overly loud question ringing in my ears: why? Why was I reading this, why was I interested in these characters and their sad lives, why was it written. I will never have the answers to those questions, but what I do have is another book read this year, so I can't be fully-mad.

Rooney's books must be consumed by audiobook for me, I cannot withstand her puncuation choices. JUST PUT A COMMA IN THERE, I'M BEGGING YOU

book & cook club February Romance Books choice!

i am frankly frightened by the public opinions and ratings of this book. It sucks so bad, it made me wish I never learned to read.

It was a short and thought-provoking book! I can't say I got something incredibly powerful out of it, but perhaps I just didn't... get it?

not sure if I just sped through this too fast, or if it was just meh. Not my fave

I really liked the author's writing!!! I want to read another book by her

really really enjoyable read!!! I powered right through it and I found myself so captivated by the narrators voice. The storyline didn't have my favorite ending.... but I enjoyed it greatly nonetheless!

SOOOOO many cases of drug use where the character is seemingly completely unaffected and unbothered.... I don't need my books to be accurate, but this was disconcerting lol
