No clue why it took so long to read my bad tbh.

Very interesting book/subject matter and lot of interesting points to be taken away from it especially in light of what's going on now. Interesting to see how many topics of conversation are still relevant currently. 

I enjoyed the interview format but found the reflections part, which largely consisted of parts of other articles to be slightly unnecessary. A lot of the time it just involved repeating a bunch of points and it felt really redundant.  

I should've written this sooner after I read it because I feel like I've lost a lot of the points I wanted to discuss. I feel like while it is a good book there are also better books on the subject but I also think it's because I spent so long with it I never got into a flow of understanding

Goes so hard it’s unbelievable. 12 year old me didn’t get it at all

This goes so hard it’s crazy 

It slowly grew on me, like the ending got me. Still not sure I'm an Emily Henry person - might have to read more of her books - but I ended up liking this book a lot more than I thought I would when I was at the beginning 

they do say a good reread can solve any reading slump. i always forget how good this book is. 

not as good as half of a yellow sun but i don't think anything ever will be. not sure how to feel about the ending but that's probs because i don't always love ambiguous ending in terms of romances (which is definitely the romantic in me speaking)

it’s like a mix of all my favourite things as one

forever a personal fav

Always weary about reading about history not written by historians but there is something to be said about the beauty of a personal memoir especially from such an unparalleled writer. Going into wanting to know more about his perspective and less about the specificities of the facts was pivotal in enjoying this read  

i like a good murder mystery
