Reading this at a 6 hr tennis event and I am having way too many loud lol moments. Do busses really drive off cliffs in rom-coms killing all characters?

This reminds me so much of my mother-in-law and the way she still communicates with her adult children.

Loved learning about butterflies and ants. I actually really liked the main character as I can relate to her so much.

Almost 100 years later and the police still assume a person of color is the one who needs locked up. :(

The statistics in this book should shock me, but do not. I hear so many people say they don't read. We need to change this and help people enjoy reading again.

rubyslippersreads Not only do I know people who don‘t read, they‘re kind of proud of being “too busy” to read. 😏 5y
baberj I know. They just brag about how much tv they watch. 5y

Fun book about why you wake up with crazy hair, have belly button lint, drool at night, etc. Illustrations were wonderful.

Trying to get into this, but it's slow going. But some of the jokes remind me of the mother goose play my son was in in 8th grade

I read this 10 years ago and decided to reread it. I believe this book is the reason my sister became a stripper ( and possibly more). Still an interesting look into the sex industry.

hwestfall Okay, I almost want to delete my comment because of my phone's autocorrect. It's Wilde not Wilder 🙄 6y

Addictive story. It's like Gillian Flynn meets Chuck Pahlaunick so far....

Way too many characters. I feel like some were not even important to the story. Kind of a let down at the end. Not as exciting as I would have hoped.

rachelm I'm interested in your review. I've heard both sides on this one. 7y
