I realized not too long ago, I hate YA. And I've always loathed magical realism. Yet, for WHATEVER reason (many, if I dig deep, lbh), I LOVE this book.

I managed to obliterate most of this book with a beer spill on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, but I believe Mr. Sedaris would be just fine with that?

Finishing this book feels like having been freed from something terrible. Like prison.

Jess7 Haha, I‘m about 40 percent into it and I‘m finding it very slow 7y
Stacia_Manion I strongly disliked all but about maybe 10%? Maybe 8. Lol. I am fiercely relieved to be done. It's only bc my BOTM was late that I didn't dnf it. That said, GOOD LUCK! 😃 7y
Jess7 Having just finished this one tonight I know you mean! The ending solidified the meh way I felt about the book overall 7y
Stacia_Manion @Jess7 KUDOS to you for finishing - - doesn't it feel SO GOOD to be done?! 😂 7y

Love the sentiment; hate the insinuation that it's that simple.

You guys. This book is so good. You know that feeling when you have a huge stressor in your life and maybe you manage to forget it for a moment? And then BOOM, it crashes back in!? THIS BOOK and these characters' stressors were MY stressors for the whole 6 days during which I was reading it. MAN. I don't have children. But if I did, there's ZERO chance I would handle this with such calm and grace and... GREAT WISDOM which did Rosie and Penn.

As The Goldfinch remains on my all-time-favorites list, I thought it high time I read The Secret History. I've heard it's wonderful, I've heard it's awful; I'm looking so forward to forming my own opinion.

I feel badly about it, but I fucking hate this book. I'm on page 343 and cannot WAIT to be done. It's ruining my weekend and my will to live.

TrishB I didn't get that far. Think I bailed at 100 pages. 7y
Stacia_Manion @TrishB I so wish I'd have done the same. The reviews and buzz are SO compelling...I felt like I owed the author a finish. I regret it wholly and completely. 7y
emilyhaldi Yikes!!! 7y
MrBook Uh-oh! 7y
Stacia_Manion I'm done. Thank God. This book hurt my head, neck, shoulders, and heart. Pure torture, this book. I cannot recommend. To be fair, beautiful writing (if not far too much detail all around), but context...context wayyyy too deep. 7y

5++ Stars!!! Even the unlikable characters were loveable in Commonwealth. Ann Patchett has moved up in my Fave Authors List with this one. ❤

Franny gave her sister a tired smile. "Oh, my love," she said. "What do the only children do?"
"We'll never have to know," Caroline said.
