pickSuper interesting to read about a break-up from the male perspective of a woman writer. To be in a similar stage of life I appreciated the honesty.

pickStruggling with how to rate this book. It's centered around a breakup, told 90% from the male perspective and his rollercoaster journey of how he dealt w/it. The writing was great. The subject was largely uninteresting to me personally. I have read multiple books from the female perspective of a breakup, so it was nice to have this out there choosing to tell the story in a different way-I don't think most guys are as emotionally 'woke' as him🤷♀️
pickPut this on library hold months ago - maybe I read a terrific review here? Was it on the #ToB_LongList? I admit, I was not fond of whiny broken-hearted Andy for the first quarter of the book, so I decided to read the ending (helped by someone who said we hear HER side of the story). Doing so entertained a conversation in my head of this book with both Liars and The Book of George.

eBooking this; said YES to it and took a few days to start and now have only a few days left on my library loan. It just feels far,far away from our current lives of watching the US govt/stuff becoming dismantled. #guygetsdumpedandfeelsSad #boohoohoo
pickFunny and very emotional essays about Whitney's life.

so-soMaybe it's an "it's not you; it's me" situation, but I never really got into this novel. I laughed a few times, but it doesn't feel like "good material," I can't imagine it being a funny comedy show, and the MC---a man---doesn't read like a man to me. I finished it, so I didn't dislike it, I just didn't love it, either. A #tob25 longlist title that I don't mind not making the shortlist.
Am I in a reading slump? I feel like I might be in a reading slump. But for me that looks like audiobooking (the tagged) but not constantly and not really getting into any of my print books for...gosh, like 5 days. Maybe it's too early to declare a reading slump, but it feels slumpy for me.
