Are there sentences I wish Choi had never penned (or at least had edited out)? Yes. Chief among them, “It reorganized her thoughts with such an intensity that she had the sudden urge to pee.” Still, this book is *compulsively* readable. I loved the sci-fi story-within-a-story that Penny crafts for her Creative Writing course. And I‘m a sucker for both misfits *and* an epistolary component (be it letters, emails, or texts)…👇🏻
I read a lot of four stars books this month, good but not great books, but We Are Okay by Nina LaCour is the one standout. I thought this quiet queer YA story about grief, friendship, and leaving home to start again at university was absolutely stunning. Beautiful, perfect, couldn't be better. #ReadingBracket2025
I gave this a try, but I really dislike the main character. David arrives for his first year at Harvard and becomes obsessed with another student. He enrolls in a class he doesn‘t care about in order to follow her, then starts a relationship with her roommate to hopefully see her in her room.
I don‘t want him to win her over, and I don‘t want to watch him stalk her anymore, so I‘m out.
The writing is good, the topic just isn‘t for me.
