I have this on hold at my library but I am #1 on 2 copies so should be any day now. How are people liking it so far? I don’t know anything about it, just going in blind. I guess I could read the summary while I wait.

I am almost done with this book. It’s very good and quite intense. I also basically went in blind, I just knew it was a highly-recommended YA book, and I’m glad the book club got me to finally read it!

I just got a digital copy from the library today!
Clare-Dragonfly your comment makes me realize I’ve really been enjoying knowing nothing about each book! Years ago I used to pick books by the most random criteria or I’d let my toddler pick for me and somewhere along the way I stopped. It’s fun to just start reading and let the story reveal itself.

Got a digital copy on hold via my library -> Libby app. The wait is 4 weeks, but it will let me read a preview. I’m on Chapter 2 and loving the narrator’s personality.

I loved the opening lines. Sets up the narrator’s voice really well.
I’m not very far yet because I keep watching fun shows instead of reading, which is the reason I need book club prompts in the first place, ha.

Still waiting, and turns out one of my holds was paused! ugh. Hopefully before the end of the month I’ll get this. I suppose in the meantime I could finished some past months books. *hangs head in shame

I feel like my list of books to read grows quicker than I can ever read books

My hold came through early! I stayed up too late and read it all in one sitting. This was so good. I found it interesting how sometimes the narrator is very aware of her lack of money and privilege - and other times she’s too sassy/young/focused.
“We need more people like you in college,” Freddy says… I don’t know what Freddy means by people like me. What am I like? Why would anyone care if I go to college or not?

Yes I found that interesting, and pretty realistic for most people.
I didnt know a lot about the book before I went in, I had been expecting something a lot more light hearted but really enjoyed the different issues it tackled

I got my copy and started listening this morning. Not sure how I feel about it yet I’ve only listened to about 20 mins so far. Not too crazy about the swearing but I think I can get into the story.

I didnt even notice that much swearing, I may have become desensitised to it by how much the people at my work swear

I’m not bothered by swearing in my daily life but I did notice it here, enough that I’d catch myself saying “whoa” in my head. I’m not used to seeing it in books!
