![]() ![]() Nick and June Were Here by Shalanda Stanley ⭐⭐⭐ An ill-advised final twist squanders any limited goodwill the reader might’ve managed to scrounge up, and the result is that I’ll probably forget this book entirely except to retain a lingering sense of disappointment. The characters are deeply unlikable, but without the interesting complexity required to make readers care about them. It centers around a deeply codependent, toxic relationship that it ultimately seems to romanticize. We Told Six Lies is like a young adult version of Gone Girl, except without Gone Girl‘s nuance. I unfortunately still read a lot of books that were, for me, one or two stars thankfully I rounded those out with some rereads of old favorites. ![]() I’m still behind on my overall reading goal, but at least I read better books this quarter than I did last (last quarter was kind of a bummer). This year has been flying and it’s time for another rundown of what I’ve been reading and watching. Most of it went towards reading War and Peace. Somehow we’re already 3/4 done with 2009. ![]()
