Screaming crying throwing up writing a ten-page essay in my head about the way this book refuses to give you information until it decides it’s time, and then it opens the floodgates and pours out so much emotion that it becomes painful ahhhhhhhhhhh

I hated this book. It physically hurt to read because everything was lumped in one paragraph. And the emails were so boring. Normal people was amazing but this book was terrible.

I really wish Rooney would take a break from writing middle-class white people experiencing middle-class white people problems.

« It’s still better to love something than nothing, better to love someone than no one, and I’m here, living in the world, not wishing for a moment that I wasn’t. Isn’t that in its own way a special gift, a blessing, something very important? »
