Every single narrative voice sounded the same - if you’re gonna split a book into a chapter per character, make sure I bloody know which character is talking without having to flick back to the title of the chapter … BOOOOOO 👎👎

The author fleshed out the individuals well to the point where I understood their personalities and motivators - just made the ending of each of them all the more tragic and distressing bc I connected with them so much more

I’d literally rather watch the show - the writing isn’t all that

this book is crazy - it was so much fun and didn’t take itself too seriously and I honestly love that

So witty, so funny - I just felt like there were bits where I wanted more character building like there was in Miss Buncle’s Book

Again I don’t want to rate someone’s life lol, but this book blew my mind.  It was such an interesting depiction of love, lust, obsession, heartbreak, rejection and insecurity.  The musings were so self aware and interesting, and her reflections were so human but concise and almost academic.  Such a short and impactful read !!

This taught me so much about Palestine and Israel, the occupation of the Gaza Strip and the philosophies and tensions between Palestinians who want to be rid of the occupation.  This was so full of feeling and I learnt a lot … I just feel weird rating someone’s life so I’m not going to

I was really enjoying it but the last time I found something interesting was 50 pages ago (the bit on Freud) and I feel like there’s:

I just don’t see the point in reading this anymore bc I feel like I’ve gotten what I need from it and it’s just too much of a drag now.  I just prefer more stylistic or narrative work and it’s reading like a textbook now (and a very repetitive one).  But I get its influence at the time and respect it for that.

Blew my tiny little mind

Bored.  Nowhere near as strong as White Teeth.
