      @@laoaidan2400 I feel like the show is pretty good tho. I mean it has it's very weird moments that shouldn't be there but it's pretty nice. It shed light on shitty stalker and abusive predators that seem like perfect average joe. And it even did a pretty good job since a lot of people justified the guy's actions in the beginning and then looked really dumb and clownish by the end because yeah of course the guy who's abusive with everyone else "in the name of love" will end up being super abusive and awful to his partner...that ain't surprising.
      Anyway for me the show is good, because the show is absurd as fuck and it fits. It doesn't take itself much seriously. I don't know if I'd recommend it because it's fucked but knowing what Netflix can do it's by far not the shittiest thing they green lighted. (also I'm pretty sure it was on lifetime originally which isn't surprising in the slightest)

By the time we reached the counter, Dad just scoffed said something along the lines of "Now that they made us wait for so long with the slow service, will they offer rice too?" (It was around 1 pm and we haven't had our lunch yet) in his mother tongue. The person behind the counter just looked up and said in English "Sir, this is Starbucks, I am afraid we don't offer rice here".

    I loved "YOU"! Yeah, Joe is inappropriate because he suffers from psychological problems. I found his simultaneous need to idealize a stranger and his anger at her for not acting in accordance with his idealization fascinating - especially since he won't admit to himself she has flaws (some very major flaws). His need to idealize makes him unable to see her as a person (he actually sees her more as a sexual toy instead of, as he claims, a romantic partner), which is why he's so dangerous. Obviously "YOU" is not meant to be a romance or show a healthy relationship. It's a book where the narrator is extremely unreliable. And a cautionary tale about obsession rooted in selfishness masquerading as love. But as always, hilarious review! Love you Cindy!

It’s not necessarily wwI, but it follows a character who fought in it, and the book is kind of about how it affected him and the woman he falls in love with. I’m not sure if you’ve read it, but it made me cry very hard :D. It really goes into some themes about morality, and if you reviewed it that would be straight up epic. I’m not expecting you to love it because I honestly am not a book critic, and I mostly like books that I read tbh.

Also, I personally liked the writing style, yeah it was a stream of consciousness but isn't that the point we really do get inside his head and it definitely changed my perspective of things and we feel so uncomfortable but THAT'S THE POINT.

    Can you please review "Vox" - it's basically like a Handmaid's Tale kinda set up where Women lose rights and are suppose to do chistian trad wife shit now thanks to the new theocracy. A main part being that women wear this bracelet and are restricted to 100 words a day. The main character is a mom and use to be a doctor studying how to cure aphasia, and now her life feels empty and opressively mundane until the plot thickens. Personally I actually liked the first half of the book when they were going through her daily life and the exposition of leading up to this new order and feeling how she feels empty and unfulfilled in her life versus the second half where it feels like the plot gets a little contrived to a quite contrived and too quickly neat and wrapped up ending.

    As a local used book store worker, I can attest to being harrassed by customers far more often than I harrass them

    As much as I love YOU the way you talked about it, I laughed so hard 😂 like that's very very true. There's so much cringe in it.

    You finally put into words my feelings towards period romance books, I don’t care about the start up tech guru falling in love with the dog walker. Give me the WW1 nurse falling in love with the injured soldier!

    I will say I enjoyed "You" as a thriller and just took all the things that seemed strange like the "pussy juice smells" as the raving of a lunatic who just saw everything as a sign that Beck loved him back.

      Isn’t that the whole point? It is going inside of the Reddit edgelord/psychopath fan club ideal and showing how it is actually lame and cringy

    The whole idea of knowing you’re going to live a longer life and therefore being more careful with your decisions makes NO sense? Like, if you know you’re gonna die at 80, wouldn’t you go skydiving and whatever other dangerous shit you wanted to every year until then?

    I really sat here cracking up as you roasted a book I really enjoyed. Hell, literally one of my favourite books. I don't know, just makes me feel like I achieved something today.
