This book annoyed me. I remember @LauraBeth had similar feelings, so I should have listened to her. All the characters are so catty & about nothing interesting. Elinor is obsessed with a boy that is clearly manipulative and controlling, & it's not efficiently addressed anywhere in the novel. She's so defensive about everything, naive, & I just want to yell at her through the pages! I did appreciate the power dynamics at work which is too accurate.

LauraBeth The book with all of the “ha ha ha ha” dialogue! 😂 5y

Kaylamburson Yup, that's the one!!! 🤣😂 @LauraBeth 5y

Trying to read this book to distract myself from the worst pain I've ever experienced. The doctor says it's a ganglion cyst and I need to see a hand specialist, but not sure I'll make it to Monday's appointment. Also I'm so sorry to all the people who have sent me #LitsyLove and #jb mail to whom I haven't responded! I'm hoping I'll be able to use my hand again soon so I can respond to all the lovely notes!!

OriginalCyn620 Hope you feel better soon. 😊 5y

Dragon Sorry to hear about the cyst. Hope the hand specialist sorts it ASAP. Take care of yourself 💐 5y

Kaylamburson Thank you all so much--you're so sweet and wonderful!! @OriginalCyn620 @Julsmarshall @EclecticReaders @Jas16 @Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk @Tamra @TheDaysGoBy @Dragon 5y

Betty I‘m SO sorry about your hand pain. None of the Littens want you to feel like you have to send out #Litsylove cards/replies. I‘ve had to pause hand-writing and need to resort to typing. 5y

JamieArc Oh man, I don‘t about that hand/wrist pain! I had a ganglion cyst for a long time when I was younger. Sorry you‘re dealing with that, and I‘m glad you have a good book to keep you company! 5y

Kaylamburson Thank you, @Betty!! I know no one would want me to feel that way but I just love the community so much already and want to participate. Hopefully soon! Or maybe I'll type some in the meantime, too! 5y

Kaylamburson Oh no!! Did yours just go away or did you have to get it removed somehow? I had never heard of it before, and it came on out of nowhere. I just can't believe how painful it is. Probably the worst pain I've ever experienced. But books and Littens always make it better! @JamieArc 5y

MemoirsForMe Oh my! Sending healing hugs so you‘ll feel better soon! 🤗🤗🤗 5y

Jee_HookedOnBookz Omg I'm so so sorry to know that! Hope you feel better soon! Sending lots of love your way! ❤️ 5y

Kaylamburson Thank you so much, @UwannaPublishme and @Jee_HookedOnBookz ! Your well wishes helped because it is immensely better today. I could even hold my book with both hands 🤣😂 5y

Jee_HookedOnBookz @Kaylamburson I'm so so glad to know that! Yay to going back to reading with both hands woot woot! 💃🏽 🎉 5y

Kaylamburson You're so sweet! Thank you!! @Jee_HookedOnBookz 5y

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unless you‘re in your early 20s and just entering into your post-college career, you can skip this one. It‘s a lot of “OMG!”, “LOL!” and “HAHAHA” dialogue as a young woman describes every little issue of office politics. It could be a breezy beach read for the summer.

Kappadeemom Did she like talk a lot about like important like stuff? #Thingsthatdrivecrazy 7y

Lea I‘ve come across several books like this lately. I‘m either too old or they weren‘t written for the ages, so to speak. 7y

Kaylamburson Hmmm I was excited for this one, but now I'm not so sure... 7y

See All 8 Comments

LauraBeth @Kappadeemom she basically obsessed about a boy who dumped her. 🙄 And the word like was used as every third or fourth word. 7y

LauraBeth @lea I‘m beginning to think it‘s a combination of both. I‘m too far removed from the station in life that these characters are in and the book probably isn‘t written for me anyway. 😀 7y

LauraBeth @Kaylamburson the dialogue is terrible. Most every sentence that is meant to be a statement ends in a question mark to emulate the tone. If you can sit through reading endless dialogue where statements end as questions, followed by, “like, really, you know, like, OMG! Hahahaha! Like working in an office is like really the worst?” 7y

Kaylamburson That‘s awful! I‘ll admit that I‘m guilty of my share of OMG‘s in texts and posts, but I don‘t think I‘ve verbally said it in forever. I‘m in my mid-20s so probably this “demographic” and I think that would come across as offensive. 7y

LauraBeth @Kaylamburson I completely understand it if it‘s shown as a text as opposed to dialogue. I didn‘t mention what I liked about the book. I did like the satirical send-up of current-day journalism (a la sites like Buzzfeed and other click-bait farms). That was interesting to me. It‘s akin to The Knockoff, but from the 20-something perspective as opposed to the 40-something perspective. 7y

Cinfhen Fabulous 😻😻😻so happy for you, momma 💋and I think Meghan aka Meggie would be an awesome name @ValerieAndBooks 7y

sprainedbrain 😻😻😻 7y

LauraBeth @ValerieAndBooks and @Cinfhen I LOVE the name Meghan! And it‘s so fitting since we got up and watched the wedding together. 👑Her foster had called her Sugar and she comes running from wherever she is when she hears her name - so I‘m kind of afraid to mess with a good thing! 😹 7y

LauraBeth @DebinHawaii Gray Cat is in her jealous phase so I‘m loving on her extra hard. I think she‘ll be fine once the dust settles (and when she realizes that she has an ally against Bitsy 😹). 7y

LauraBeth @mom2bugnbee her foster had named her Sugar so it‘s stuck 7y

LauraBeth @Melli I actually@didn‘t even notice until you mentioned it but she is! 7y

LauraBeth @Redwritinghood I know what you mean! I grew up with cats but after I graduated and moved away - I didn‘t have a cat for almost ten years and I really, really missed having one. I was glad when I could finally have a cat to live with. ❤️ 7y

LauraBeth @ValerieAndBooks she has extra toes and no tail 😹 7y

AlaMich That‘s adorable! Where does she live? 7y

LauraBeth @AlaMich she lives at a pond near my house with some Canadian Geese. I‘ve been coming here to read and she seems to recognize me. 😜 She seems to be the only type of this duck here. 7y

MicheleinPhilly Bring her home. I‘m sure Bitsy would take to her. 7y

AlaMich @LauraBeth I‘ll bet she‘s lonely if she‘s the only one of her kind there. Now I‘m sad...😢 But obviously you make her happy! (edited) 7y

RohitSawant How adorable! 😍 7y

LauraBeth @MicheleinPhilly Bitsy now knows I‘m prone to come home with animals 😂 7y

LauraBeth @AlaMich she seems to be a full-fledged member of the Canadian Geese flock. I‘ll keep visiting her to ensure she‘s not lonely. 😀 7y

LauraBeth @rohit-sawant 😍🦆 7y

LeahBergen Bitsy and Gray Cat are going to love her. #NewSibling 7y

AlaMich @LauraBeth Thank you! I feel better. 😊 7y

LauraBeth @saresmoore it comes easier with time! I‘ve had to re-shift my spending priorities. The here and there Costco book purchase, the Kindle daily deals, the Barnes and Noble sales annex, the full-price splurge - it all adds up. I realized how much I LOVE calculating the small things to healthier gains - like a mile here and there, a 5k, the gym day, the banana instead of the chocolate - and wondered why I don‘t do the same with books and money? 💡 7y

saresmoore Yes! Tapping into that achiever strength is such a good strategy! I like to think I‘m preparing now for having plenty of money in the future. You know, stewardship. From the beginning, Bryan and I had the goal of never living above our most modest means so that every bonus, raise, etc. will add to our savings, not to our stuff. I‘ll let you know when we break through the “modest” level. 😆 7y

2BR02B I just heard Maureen Corrigan's review of Barracoon on NPR yesterday. It sounds super interesting. 7y

LauraBeth @saresmoore 😂 7y

LauraBeth @2BR02B ooh - I‘ll try and find that and listen to it! 7y

This book is hilarious. The people in this book are all self obsessed, terrible, horribly annoying people. I laughed out loud constantly. I would never want to be friends with any of these people. It‘s pretty much a book making fun of millennials so if you are one just be warned. I thought it was very funny. Trixie liked it too 🤣
