wayyyy too dense, and i heard from mallow (friend i was doing the buddy read with who finished ahead of me) that the ending was unsatisfying.

i’m admittedly judgy about books like this but i went into this with as open a mind as possible and was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed it! charlie is very cute, and the cookie-cutter characters grow on you as you get to know them. i still do not love a first-person-POV book, but this was a nice light read :)

it was good + i remembered why i was so obsessed with it in high school despite not having read it all through, BUT there is a lot of nature description which i feel is my weakness as a reader. i needed all sorts of help to get through those bits… would have DNF’d if it weren’t for book club.
still we spent 2 hours talking about it and it was a lot of fun to discuss :^)
