Interesting

It reminded me a bit of the first person reporting books I usually love, I think.

I’ve really been enjoying this book club that Rebecca and Allison host, but I’d also be excited to find an offline book club to join in the future

I also don’t like what I’ve heard about how it’s been changed compared to the book, so I’ll be surprised if it’s a show I stick with.

My former boss talked about how she enjoyed the book because it discusses the racial inequality within the system (as well as the outsider status of the author).

It’s great to read something with a new experience and I’m glad this was such a thought-provoking read. It almost makes me want to join a book club – maybe after I’ve gotten my TBR pile a little tamed.
