On the Jellicoe Road

I first read this book when I was in high school and LOVED it. It was a 5 star and I considered it one of my favorite books. So recently I decided to reread it and annotate it. That was a mistake. The memory I had of this book was so much better than my experience this time. I just did not feel connected to it like I did last time, and I hated the romance where high school me was obsessed with it. I'm so sad that this went from a 5/5 to a 2.5/5 for me. Ugh, I'm definitely gonna halt the high school favorite rereads. Maybe the good memories should just be left alone.
