A novel reflecting on teenage years of two adults who grew up in NYC. Sometimes funny and other times sad, the kids while attending a Quaker School are trying to decide who they are sexually. The imagination runs a bit wild. No matter where you identify yourself sexually, or where you grew up, this novel had me recalling my memories during my teenage years. I gave this a solid 4.5/5⭐️

Meh, idk about this one. The MC/narrator‘s voice was funny for a while, but the consistent self-deprecation and dislike got wearing after a while. This book is really just about Greg and what happens to him because of this girl who‘s dying, except not that much really happens? He doesn‘t seem to change that much, although he is clearly affected more than he pretends to be. Sort of coming of age without much self-actualization, I guess. Soft pick.

I almost forgot it‘s Freedom to Read week here in Canadia, but I managed to find this on my TBR. I‘m 100 pages in and not much has happened, but it‘s pretty funny and sharp. Don‘t forget to #readbannedbooks!

I was told by my coworker today that I had to watch this movie. My other coworker then got involved and said I had to read the book! I know this story is loved for many reasons, but I know next to nothing about it. I'm gonna watch the movie tonight.... sorry! I promise I'll read the book soon. 😄

Anyone else watch/read this story? Thoughts?

JackOBotts This is one of my all time favorite reads. I first read it in HS, and it was a novel that I passed around to every friend I could. Each time I read it, I found new-to-me nuances. I hope you enjoy meeting Charlie. 💜 7d
LoverOfLearning @JackOBotts I love that you love this book. 😀 I know this is a definite favorite for people. It was so popular when I was in school but I was not a reader till college. Sad I missed out on reading this when I was younger. 7d
Sarahreadstoomuch LOVE this book. Movie is pretty good too. 7d

LoverOfLearning @Sarahreadstoomuch @JackOBotts Just watched the homecoming dance scene. Omg I love Charlie already. Not at all what I expected this movie to be but loving it so far. 7d
OrangeMooseReads Absolutely LOVE the book I‘ve read it several times. I shut the movie off 20-30 minutes in and have never tried to watch it again. 7d
LoverOfLearning @OrangeMooseReads you'll be happy to know I put the audiobook on hold on Libby. :) 7d
shortsarahrose I haven‘t read the book, but the movie made me cry 😭 (I know I‘m a “bad” book person for seeing the movie and not reading the book, but I also think the whole “the book is always better”/“I never see the movie” thing is pretentious). But I might read it someday. My TBR is just too big 😆 7d
LoverOfLearning @shortsarahrose same. That's why u watched the movie first. Reading this many books right now. But I do have it on hold on libby. Yeah the movie 100% made me cry!! Was very good. Had no idea what it was about 7d
DogMomIrene I watched the movie years ago. I remember crying, but I don‘t remember plot details. This book was actually one of my #ReadYourEbooks titles this month, and I didn‘t get to it. It‘s staying on the ebook list, though. 6d
LoverOfLearning @DogMomIrene hope you get to read it soon! My hold on libby will come in soon. Thankful it's a short read. I have tooo many audiobooks rn ha! 6d

I fleeeeeew through this book. It was a short one, but it was such a quick and entertaining read that I couldn‘t help myself. I almost forgot I even had it hanging out on my shelf for like 5+ years. Whoops. **Photo featuring the adorable Justice Ginsburg

LoverOfLearning LOVE this cover wow! Glad your enjoyed this one! I've not heard of it before. 2w
Blh87 @LoverOfLearning Definitely YA and a lot of it focuses on pros and cons of social media. I really enjoyed the writing and the humor of the main character…it was a quick, easy read! 2w
LoverOfLearning @Blh87 Glad you enjoyed it! 2w

Sometimes you just need a silly teen romance novel to make you smile and giggle. I listened to this audiobook twice over the last year or so. I love it so much. Gets you out of your head, lowers stress, makes you feel all giddy. I adore Lynn Painters books. Trying to finish up a book I'm currently reading so I can read book 2: Nothing Like the Movies. It's sitting on my shelf taunting me. ❤️😍❤️
