TFW when you're finishing a great book at your desk.

I'm fine. It's just raining on my face.

In other news, Wonder is a lovely book and the audio production was great. I wasn't super-jazzed about the rotating narrators at first, but since it kept coming back to Auggie it got better.

Really good, solid message. Definitely a must-read for a young person. To me, it didn't live up to the hype and I didn't get really attached to the story.
