I was so sure that The Outsiders wasn't canon in this world and then she mentioned it! It's nitpicky but naming yourself after Ponyboy is much cooler than just naming yourself after an animal randomly. That boy got to senior year and didn't read The Outsiders?! It's so gay he would've loved it.
A great book for explaining what a trans person is to kids / teens. It has a perfect mixture of people familiar with the world and explaining to someone who knows nothing. Great writing. I laughed a plenty.

I thought of Control as a manchild, mostly because of his attachment to his mommy but also he didn't seem to get much of anything done. Not a critique of the book I just don't have anyone to talk to about it. Also negative points because characters have names now and I just think that's misogynistic!

Very good. Read it in two sittings, same day. Wasn't too creepy or scary, I was just as curious as the mc. Maybe men CAN be good writers... we shall see with the sequels!

At first I didn't get it... but like... I got it, you know? Like I get it but I don't. But I get it. And, for me personally, that's some of the best writing humanity has to offer.
Unrelated to the book, kinda, I think it's funny how the conversations the revolutionaries were having in the late 70s, almost 50 years ago, are the same conversations we're having now. Not funny haha, funny sad.

This is my second time reading so I knew what was gonna happen but it's been years. But the twists! The turns! I still have whiplash!!!
Such amazing thrilling writing. I opened the book at 3 pm and finished it by 11 pm! Then I went and added several of James' books to my TBR as soon as I finished this. Lauren James you will always be famous!!!

That play though? One of the worst things I've ever read. No substance. No plot. Barely qualifies as a slice of life piece. Maybe I would've given the zine as a whole 2 stars if not for that play. It was so bad. F- !!! See me after class!!!
