Tag line is “heartstopper meets crazy rich asians”, and that describes it pretty well. Fun and fluffy!

Afraid I’m dnf’ing this. There’s only so much talk of how people organise their shelves I can take. I didn’t find the personal stories very relatable, even when they did objectively relate to me (as in, describing things I, too, experience), it just all seemed very bitty and a lot of the sections by the actual author came across as padding for the personal stories and vice versa?? Like, I don’t even know which bit I found less engaging, but the constant switching between the two modes made it infinitely worse. I know this book has been literally life changing to a lot of folks, and more power to them, but it’s not for me.

Listening to this on a librivox recording. I’ve read it before and enjoyed it, it’s a classic. I remember asking my housemate who knew it, at one point: “Do the baddies win??!?”, because I just couldn’t see how the author would get the good guys out of the deep deep hole they were in, but of course he did!

Had to return this to the library so read selected chapters rather than front to back. But I have it reserved again and will hopefully be able to resume and read the rest at some point

Rereading this for the millionth time, still my favourite (or one of them, anyway)
