Wow, this one really changed my world view. I feel like it should be required reading for adults in their 30s and 40s. It's a tough emotional read, but also so cativating and well written. I highly recommend it!

There are some powerful lines in this book and I liked the characters. However, I felt like I was comparing this book to his others and some other YA books, and this one just wasn‘t as good. In particular, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Nivens and Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell were so much more engaging.

Everyone keeps saying this one was so funny but I was disturbed by it. I know I will watch the movie because it actually has an all Asian cast, but I don‘t know if I will read any of the other books. Sigh.

ReadingOver50 I read and enjoyed the book. At the same time I have no desire to read the rest of the series. 7y

I love the way Celeste Ng weaves her characters‘ stories together in this book and Little Fires Everywhere. This book was super depressing to me because all the characters were so lonely. This one will stay with me for a while.

I can't wait for the show, even though I think this list is really weird!

Samplergal It is really weird. Where does a list that contains Invisible Man and 50 shades come@from? I must look to see how they came up with the list. 7y
ravenlee It's the weirdest conglomeration I've ever seen. So many "good god I would never read that" choices, mixed with some classics (and good ones, at that). 7y
Samplergal @ravenlee Seriously! I‘ll be interested in seeing where it goes. ( maybe that is the whole idea of this....we are all talking about it aren‘t we? ) 7y
ravenlee I guess if we're looking at it as books that shaped our society, Twilight and 50 Shades have had an undeniable influence...maybe? 7y

Oooo, this looks good. I rarely watch tv, but if it's about books, I might have to watch! Hats off to PBS for a great idea!

My 10 year old is reading this for school so, of course, I had to read it too! It was great! It brought tears to my eyes. I am glad they are reading it in 4th grade!

I loved the first half of this book. The characters, plot, and letters all sucked me right into the book. The last third drove me bonkers though because it was drawn out too much and I started to dislike all the characters. It's certainly a powerful read though.

Such a great romantic comedy! Should I read the Rosie Effect?!?

readinginthedark No! ...Well, some of the second one was good, but not in the same way as the first. It‘s bittersweet and Rosie is a jerk the whole time. 😕 7y

Ugh, really didn't like the 2nd half of this book! There were just too many twists and too many untied ends (ie Duke, Maureen) for me. The Last Mrs. Parrish and Girl on the Train were much better, if you like this type of psychological thriller.
