Field Guide to the North American Teenager | Ben Philippe

so-so

It seems like a YA book that is really just for YA. There are a lot of YA books that I get something out of as an adult, and this wasn‘t one of them. A lot of clever writing. Also a lot of swearing. Seemed like his diary was like the Mean Girls burn book of this story. He really stepped in it at the end, but if you‘re going to have that much sass, it‘s going to bite you back. Glad he stayed to fix things. I enjoyed the characters.

Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream | H.G. Bissinger

pick

I loved the tv show and now, having read the book, I understand why people keep coming back to it to adapt it. The writing is so absorbing and propulsive, this is narrative nonfiction at its best. It does help if you like or have liked football, but I don‘t think it‘s necessary.

Texreader Apparently it was filmed on my old high school football field, where I spent countless Friday nights. But I still haven‘t seen the show or read the book. 1w

Ending 2025 with 82 books!

What a book to end the year with. It had everything—history, intergenerational drama and trauma, epic love stories, tragedy at its peak, life, loss, curses, and even lawsuits—all wrapped into one neat package.

Ruthiella Nicely done! 👏👏👏 2w

so-so

My final book of 2025—not one I‘d have chosen on my own, but I‘m faithful to my book clubs‘ picks. I appreciated the storylines, though the writing style didn‘t work for me. Still, the novel explores compelling themes of integrity, family dysfunction, racial injustice, and corporate power. The ending offers truth and growth, even if imperfect.
