   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) thisgayreads | Nov 4, 2023 |  If you dislike stream-of-consciousness humor this isn't for you. But man, if you do, dive in. I loved how it ended, too. I rarely re-read books now, but this is on the short-list. Still laughing. Highly recommended. ( ) terriaminute | Dec 4, 2022 | Edit: I had to come back to this "review", because I noticed I was still thinking of the characters. There really was a lot I enjoyed about this, I think pegging this as "just" fluff might take away from that. I'll just list some of the things I liked: - Best friends, one of whom is gay and the other straight - No sexual tension between said friends - Sweet yet flawed characters - Parents who love their kid and only want the best for him - Even when said parents and kid don't really know how to communicate with each other - Relatable angst - I can still remember being nineteen, moving out to college and being ambushed by hysterical crying on my way to the flat hundreds of miles away from my childhood home Edit 2017/Sept 9 4,75 stars - I loved this even more the second time. The blurb really doesn't do this book justice, this book makes me feel so good. ( ) tuusannuuska | Dec 1, 2022 | I wanted to buy this story in a hard copy for my 'collection' . Then I started complaining because my store didn't had it in hardcover. #firstworldproblems. First review Before reading I had this whole conversation.. with myself. Me the 'rational'* side VS Me the 'impulsive'** one Impulsive me: LISA HENRY! BUY THIS NOW!!! Rational me: You ain't got money yo Impulsive me: Fuck you, so what? Rational me: You know what? Fuck you too. Now look at your digital library! Impulsive me: Oeh, I forgot about that one! Rational me: That was too easy. ...Few weeks later Impulsive me: *reading a review on Goodreads* WHAT?! GTFO! Rational me: Whut? Wha' happened? Impulsive me: SOMEONE COMPARED ADULTING 101 TO FANFICTION! Rational me: So? *yawns because it's one o clock in the morning* Impulsive me: LISA HENRY IS A GODDESS. BUT I CAN'T SPENT MONEY ON FANFICTION! SHE WRITES THAT FOR FREE! Rational me: *getting angry* Are you for real? How many times have I see you crying about her fanfiction stuff? And moaning you wish she could write that for real? And now you're bitching about something you haven't read yet, and you just take somebody's word for it. THIS IS LISA HENRY! WHEN HAS SHE LET YOU DOWN?! Impulsive me: but but but... Rational me: NO BUTS! BUY THAT SHIT! Impulsive me: wait...what? What about money? Rational me: IT'S 0,58 cents OFF! That's 7% less! Buy it! Impulsive: YEAH OK LET'S DO IT! ALSO BUY EVERYTHING! Rational me: No that's not what I said... I just meant before you judge a book, read it first... . . . What are you doing? . . Stop it! Impulsive me: MHUHAHA There is no going back! ***After reading*** Impulsive me: I don't know what people were talking about. That was nothing like her fanction stories. Rational me: It would't surprise me. Now that we have that out of our system. Can we read more science-fiction? Because you know we stil have.. Impulsive me: MORE LISA HENRY! Rational me: No. Remember that we wanted to read more diverse bo... Impulsive me: LISA HENRY! Rational me: FOR FUCK SAKES! *Gives up* And that's how you have a conversation with yourself. * my version of being rational is not always what other people find rational. Like having a conversation with yourself. Some would call that a monologue. ** being impulsive doesn't always mean that I do stuff without thinking. It also means that I feel stuff that makes no sense. When I think about it, I almost always discover that my first impulsive feelings aren't always the correct ones... or were appropriate.. ( ) Jonesy_now | Sep 24, 2021 | I liked this story so much that I bought a physical copy. A perfect summer read. ***AFTER READING*** So I have lots of feelings. This is the first psychical (am I spelling that right?) copy I read in one day in a very long time. And it felt so good. I sort of forgot the feeling you get when you're 'breaking' in a book. I love that in used books but it's even better when it's your doing. also the story fits so much the feeling I have right know about my life. even if I'm already an adult. I still have times where I don't know what I'm doing and no idea what to do next. I normally don't like open endings but this book is one of the rare exceptions. maybe because it's not an ending but a beginning. and the the feeling of hope and accepting the unknown. it's not a deep story. it's fun and quirky but still with an underlying message. so glad I could finally get an copy for my shelf.

HTML: There are no feelings here. None. Shut up. Nick Stahlnecker is eighteen and not ready to grow up yet. He has a summer job, a case of existential panic, and a hopeless crush on the unattainable Jai Hazenbrook. Except how do you know that your coworker's unattainable unless you ask to blow him in the porta-potty? That's probably not what Dad meant when he said Nick should act more like an adult. Twenty-five-year-old Jai is back in his hometown of Franklin, Ohio, just long enough to earn the money to get the hell out again. His long-term goal of seeing more of the world is worth the short-term pain of living in his mother's basement, but only barely. Meeting Nick doesn't fit in with Jai's plans at all, but, as Jai soon learns, you don't have to travel halfway around the world to have the adventure of a lifetime. This is not a summer romance. This is a summer friendship-with-benefits. It's got pizza with disgusting toppings, Netflix and chill, and accidental exhibitionism. That's all. There are no feelings here. None. Shut up. .No library descriptions found. |
