I'm sorry but if I waste my time to read over 700 pages there better be a satisfying ending. or any ending.

this was a perfect 5 stars for me...until the last 3ish chapters. i really don't know what to think and I can't help but be annoyed with the way this book ends but it still deserves a high rating bc the first 80% was truly so good I was on the edge the whole time

i just feel dirty after reading this. definitely unforgettable but at what cost

i was so scared and intimidated to read this book but to my surprise something clicked in my brain and I really enjoyed this one. I couldn't put it down which is so rare for me with classics, it was just so fascinating and also ridiculous and i wanted to know where this is going. sure maybe some stuff flew over my head but the things understood I did like alot and related to, to the point of feeling bad for the character at times. idk if there's something wrong with me too but I did understand what he means and reading the second part was so frustrating to me with how everyone around him chose to hang on all of the unimportant issues and making a huge deal out of nothing just bc they didn't see a point, they had to find one themselves no matter what (at least that's how I understood it). also bonus points for making me laugh once which is insane for a classic idk I didn't expect that

man what the hell. this was perfect, so cute, so funny, so sad but in a good way. i love them so much

i can't believe this book that I picked up randomly earned itself a 5 star from me. this was so millenial and chronically online but in the best way AND SO FUNNY. like I never laugh while reading books and this one had me giggling and gasping every other page. the insane stories and circumstances, the commentary, the plot twist oh my god ?? its the kind of read that makes you annoyed with how good it is and that you actually enjoyed it and I've never felt that before in my life honestly. it's not perfect but for the sake of how entertaining it was and that it made me laugh (again, very rare) it deserves a 5

cover way better than what's inside. i expected the game and twitch to play a bigger part in this book and not just being mentioned constantly but the whole plot happening outside of the online space ? other than that it was fine and I even enjoyed the romance lol. also the whole plot with the sister is so weird idk how to feel abt that and the resolution at the end, it just feels unrealistic

it was fine. first half really had a grip on me and I read it in one day but then the rest of the book was just like idk dragging and here I am a week later finally done. i think the story just wasn't interesting to me, I didn't care abt a single character and they were all annoying and the only thing that kept me going was the cheating aspect but it wasn't really that interesting after a while. hate to compare it to normal poeple but I highlighted half of that book and think abt it everyday and abt all the beautiful sentences and conversations and this one just didn't have it in my opinion

I enjoyed it for what it was

i need levi clinically

sam accepting the kids as his own was the only good part. idk why is this even a series if the husband is dead, there's no point or stakes anymore

i wish this ended with some backstory of how maggie ended up doing what she did and for what reason idk I think it would've added alot

better than I thought it would be and for sure way better than notes on an execution

3.5 but i feel generous today so rounding up to 4

wish I read this faster than in a week but job ruins my life so I couldn't, I think this should be read in a day or two. it was fun even tho I hate survival stories in a book form but this just worked idk. also this is literally man or bear discourse in a book and I'd still choose the bear/creature bc what the hell

went into this fully knowing people don't like it and I was just very curious. this was so fucking stupid lmao and don't even get me started on the ending

reminded me alot of convenience store woman. also very thought provoking in a way that it made me think about how I should fake a pregnancy too and how does one go about it (I know it's impossible)

podobało mi się tylko opowiadanie o laurze, reszta i zakonczenie bez szału. nic nowego

lowkey got me sad by the end

oh don't piss me off

1.5

way too long for what it was. i'd give it 5 stars if it was a short story bc the idea and commentary on motherhood and being a wife and a woman was great but after like 50 pages we were going in circles and I was bored out of my mind

3.5
usually I find black mirror esque stories cheesy and overdone but this one was good and made me sad

2.5

pupkin was lowkey so cute

I don't give a fuck

shari lapena books are so perfect for a slump. they are always entertaining and a little dumb but I eat them up

sadly this wasn't for me and didn't meet the hype I created in my head :( I think it all comes down to the book being written very nice and having pretty sentences but because of this I just couldn't get close to the story. I could tell there was many emotions that I was suppose to feel but I just couldn't. it felt very distant. the only chapter I really liked was the last one bc only then I felt the words and emotions being real and authentic.
