    i loved it so so much such an amazing adaptation, just as good as the books maybe even better. the changes were so so good and the cast were AMAZING. i need s2 rn but also dont because the last ep made me sob my eyes out. i finished it in one day and am regretting that cos i wanna watch it again UGH but also the soundtrack was incredible (i wanted august but u win some u lose some)

    i’ve read normal people a while ago and just came across this video while binge watching your channel :) i honestly didn’t remember one thing about the book when you started talking abt it and i wondered if i had read it at all in the first place but then i went through my book and saw how i had underlined some quotes..
    for me the book wasn’t bad but nothing special that i would have definitely remembered
    after watching your videos though and seeing some of your annotations i think that maybe it is only so because i had a different view on the book back then, so i am definitely trying to give it a second chance and i’ll reread it!! that’s why i think annotated books from others are so precious because sometimes my mind is so closed off to certain thoughts that I just completely ignore them and annotations kinda force you to step out of that comfort zone

    When I saw that you were doing this on Instagram I was hoping you would show us your annotations. And then you post a video precisely on that?? Thank you SO much!
    You actually inspired me to do the same, and I’m currently annotating Daisy Jones and The Six for a friend, as we didn’t read it yet. I annotated once one of her books with a pencil, but for this one I’m highlighting, commenting, underlining and putting tabs. It’s my first time reading a book by Taylor Jenkins Reid and I already know she’s going to be my favorite author.
    Your “TALK TO EACH OTHER” comment is what I was thinking most of the time while reading this book lmao.
    I remembered that in your playlist there were illicit affairs by Taylor Swift, Little Freak and Matilda by Harry Styles (Little Freak is my favorite song of all time right now and I have this theory that we can hear a sort of heartbeat through the song and that it represents the heart of his house, as it is the 6th song on the album and there are 13 songs it’s kinda in the middle, but I may be wrong, I didn’t do any research on it) anyway, I just thought that you’re one of the best to create playlists for books.
    I watched The Summer I Turned Pretty and I loved it too, I didn’t read the books yet but it made me want to do it (btw I’m team Conrad)

    Yeah we're doing that too.....I've been going around for years telling her how great that one book that came out in 2019 is (I'm pretty sure I'm one of the first people to read it.....I read it before it got all hyped up😭😭) so she finally bought it and I had the ebook but I bought a paperback at the same time as her. We live in different cities now so next month when I see her, I'd have read and annotated my book and she would have done it with here's and then we'll exchange the books. It's just so amazing 💫💫💫💫
