None of this would've ever happened if not for the 2008 housing crisis.

Picture this. You're me. You're in biology class. it's 2014. Your teacher overhears you say you wanna be a writer or you wanna make movies when you get older. She tells you "Oh my gosh, I just saw this movie you'd really like." She softly, accidentally spoils the plot twist, but it's okay you know enough about tv amd movies to know nobody ever really dies except Uncle Ben. So you shrug it off and say, "Okay, I'll still watch it." And then she says, "It was based on a book." brcause she knows you like books. And then she goes, "Oh, wait! It's really mature... Maybe you shouldn't watch it." How old was I in 2014 you ask? FOURTEEN !!! 

Honestly I was reading way worse stuff back then and I've calmed down now. But anyway.

That was, and I don't mean this lightly, pretty fucking amazing. The first third is pretty slow but it pays off so well. And then the second part being titled "Boy Meets Girl"? Even though they've known each other seven years?? Shut the fuck up it's literally true. Wow. And also, amazing.

Every crazy sociopathic calculated woman deserves her own pathetic spineless weasel of a man. Her own puppet.

And even after all that, she wasn't racist? My bar has been met. I love it.

I knew this book was good but I didn’t know how good, I was completely engrossed in it, I found myself speaking to my friends and family about the characters like they’re real people.
