Welcome to Litsy!

Put this on library hold months ago - maybe I read a terrific review here? Was it on the #ToB_LongList? I admit, I was not fond of whiny broken-hearted Andy for the first quarter of the book, so I decided to read the ending (helped by someone who said we hear HER side of the story). Doing so entertained a conversation in my head of this book with both Liars and The Book of George.

eBooking this; said YES to it and took a few days to start and now have only a few days left on my library loan. It just feels far,far away from our current lives of watching the US govt/stuff becoming dismantled. #guygetsdumpedandfeelsSad #boohoohoo

Very difficult subject matter. Brittany Means lived through a tumultuous childhood only to find herself in an increasingly dangerous relationship as she came of age. The abuse described in this book is horrific and mostly occurs when Means is a child. I have a hard time recommending this as it‘s just so brutal.

February 17, 2025 FINISHED! I am proud of myself for jumping on the train and reading this book. It is a helpful tool that I can always use --- well maybe when I feel is appropriate --- in my daily life. Not everything in this book relates to me but I can connect with the section titled "Your Relationships and the Let Them Theory". This section was about adulting and really stuck with me. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of great advice

February 14, 2025 Happy Valentine's Day lovely LOVELY folks. I am on page 91 and the caption of the section could not be more true. I feel that as humans and individuals, we always tend to get very sensitive when someone says a negative thing about us. We need to remember ultimately that it does not matter what others say so just ignore them. They will not make you feel better. YOU can only make yourself feel better.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💖

Maybe it's an "it's not you; it's me" situation, but I never really got into this novel. I laughed a few times, but it doesn't feel like "good material," I can't imagine it being a funny comedy show, and the MC---a man---doesn't read like a man to me. I finished it, so I didn't dislike it, I just didn't love it, either. A #tob25 longlist title that I don't mind not making the shortlist.
