I am beginning to wonder if M and H are sponsored by Soho house. :|
My thoughts:
- too long. Could have been 25% shorter, and my recommended edits are removing the numerous mentions of his penis.
- Harry is an angry, angry boy. I say "boy" because I got a large, encompassing whiff of emotional immaturity throughout his life stories. And don't get me wrong, he has every right to be angry. He made it clear.
- I was not interested in hearing about Afghanistan whatsoever. When he went back I groaned audibly and maybe even skipped a chapter. It felt that it went on for ions.
- my respect for Meghan increased despite me already being a fan. She is a patient woman having to support Harry in figuring out how to be a functioning adult with boundaries.
- the monarchy is fucked, and he is still indoctrinated despite his not believing so.
