Spring 2020 (March);
~ Live reading w/5 classes

I loved doing this satirical play with my class, and listening to them giggle as the train wreck of a cast train wrecked across the whole of this play. The whole of this play is a contrivance of satire against the upper class and, while I don't find that it has much depth with context research, I do like that one gets a few smiles out of the lunacy of the interactions even without knowing all of that.

originally rated 4 stars because i have a really hard time rating any books 5 stars, but it's 24 hours later and i'm still thinking about this book. it wasn't emotional, it didn't leave me depressed, it just made me crave more. it's such a silly little story and i loved it so much, i'm definitely going to end up rereading it countless times.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I opened this book. This was such a fun and easy read.
