For the Gods, I loved this. My first graphic novel and oh dear, I might eb hooked. Lighthearted with lovable characters and a clever commitment to the cheese shtick.

One of my strangest reads yet, but in the best way. I absolutely loved it and found myself wanting more. Recommended by a friend as "so weird and campy - it's perfect" and whoa, that's pretty much it!
Yes, it's horror and gruesome at parts. But that's only the later portion and it's descriptive enough but not too terribly over-the-top. You've got this my 'new-to-horror,' friends.

It feels strange to put a rating on such an honest recount of an incredibly horrific series of life experiences. I never stayed close to the Britney media growing up, or even in recent years for that matter - but I know everyone has their opinion of her, which truthfully feels unfair. Few moments that really stood out to me:
You have to speak the thing that you're feeling, even if it scares you. You have to tell your story. You have to raise your voice.
All I know is what I experienced.
We hear a lot about her family situation, and of course the conservatorship. But we also hear quite a bit about her romantic relationships, often with direct response acknowledging a false/incomplete narrative up to this point.
(Women) want to feel safe and alive and sexy - all at the same time.

Mr. Snicket says it best himself:
This book is about bewilderment, a word which here means "the feeling of being bewildered," and "bewildered" is a word which here means "you don't have any idea what is happening," and "you" is a word which doesn't just mean you. It means everyone.
This is dark in Snicket's famously lighthearted way. Surprisingly philosophical but also had me chuckling at times.
BONUS NOTE: it's narrated by the ever-fabulous Patrick Warburton (Kronk) if you're considering the audio format. I quite enjoyed the little illustrations and intentional typesetting in select sections.

A collection of poems paired with a prompt for action and self reflection/love.

Again, I really thought I had a grasp on the reveal and NOPE.
Super fast pace. Call me a Freida McFadden fan.

Not at all what I expected based on reviews. It's funny, yes...but a very specific flavor of humor. Quite sharp, but I disagree with others' notes that it's offensive or overly judgemental.
Worsth noting, the author runs a bookshop for used books...which brings a different aspect to all of this.
I don't regret the audio read, but not sure I'd recommend. Was more of a "pass the time read"...but it did get me to chuckle a few times!

Not often I can't figure these out. I quickly realized it was EJ 's body, not Adrienne 's... but failed to put together who placed it there. I also had an inkling on Ethan not being the nicest of humans, but missed the biggest reveal entirely. In fact, for the longest time i thought Ethan was EJ ... so that was a miss.
Only critique is that the end reveal doesn't quite make sense based on some early chapter content. But I'll let it slide. Enjoyable QUICK read. Could easily have done in 1 sitting, but I started late in the evening and couldn't stay up past 1 am.
