pickAt first I thought this was just a college romance story and I didn‘t think I‘d like it, but it‘s so much more than that. It‘s very different from A Little Life, but I got similar emotional vibes from it. (Minus the abuse.)
I was confused with the shift partway through when Jordan starts addressing the reader as You, talking to Yash, it took a bit of adjustment. But I ended up really loving this. It‘s heartbreaking, but beautiful.

pick✨✨✨✨ I was so surprised by how much I loved this. Though it‘s definitely shocking, over the top, and ultraviolet, it‘s still able to bring to mind so many questions on freedom and government over reach. Sometimes we need to see the most extreme case of an issue in order to digest how we really feel.
bailedOnce I got an idea of what the “shocking betrayal” between friends was going to be, I looked up spoilers and, when my idea was proven correct, I bailed. I‘ll drop it in the comments in case anyone is curious. #allhailthebail
I tried the audiobook of this book and I didn‘t like the narrator so I‘m going to be reading my paperback copy of this book. It‘s interesting so far but I think it‘s weird that some random woman the main character doesn‘t know on the phone had phone sex with him even though he‘s married and the psychic lady seems very weird. His cat is also missing. The teenage girl is weird. What is happening in this book? I have no idea.
I love this extended musical metaphor for the symphony of lyrical poetry and prose that is Shakespeare! ❤️ #HashtagBrigade #Shirley #Chapter6
pickI‘m speechless. This book is a tapestry of a town‘s people woven together and it is absolutely remarkable. I mean, wow. It will stay with me for a long time. Also quite educational- I have learned so much.
Still catching up! Hortense sounds like a gifted teacher and an absolute joy to be around! 🙄 #HashtagBrigade #Shirley #Chapter6
“Long, long ago—when she was only five and a half—Marigold had horrified her family—at least the Grandmotherly part of it—by saying in her nightly prayer, ‘Thank you, dear God, for ‘ranging it so that nobody knows what I think.‘ Since then Marigold had learned worldly wisdom and did not say things like that out loud—in her prayers. But she continued to think privately that God was very wise and good in making thoughts exclusively your own.”
