Chapter 21
(view spoiler)["Why do I have to be so ugly mommy?" I cried. My precious boy. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Part 2
(view spoiler)[Via's voice is so good. She's very understanding on Auggie's condition. I love she's straightforward and helps Auggie to get tougher skin. It's hard for Auggie to deal with bullying for being different. (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

Just about to start this

[Beatrice]

Part 3
(view spoiler)[Jack is just as horrible as Julian. I like his change of heart and realize he's wrong. He's still learning. I still love August. (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

Sorry that I'm a bit late just about to start this

[Beatrice]

Finished (view spoiler)[So lighthearted and man I have tears in my eyes. (hide spoiler)]

[Evelyn]

Part 6
(view spoiler)[ I know what it's like to lose a pet so Daisy's death made me so really sad :( she was such a sweet dog.
But on a better note, Via's performance was just so cute! (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

(view spoiler)[ every time I read this book the farting nurse cracked me up so badly could you imagine being in that delivery room so funny (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

Chapter 7 I love how you get to hear about the story from August side and his sisters and a few of their friends

I remember having a rotation in the operating room. It surely has a lot of unexpected and funny moments.

[Stormy]

(view spoiler)[ the whole thing with Jack and him punching Julian got to admit he deserved it (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

(view spoiler)[ can't believe they actually hit his is spaceman helmet I can understand why they did it though (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

[Evelyn]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ I loved that ending! Auggie's mom saying the last line "you really are a wonder Auggie" always gives me chills and I don't know why but it makes m kind of tear up lol. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13 [spoilers removed]"

Unrelated question is Scribd good and is it expensive would you rather pay for a Scribd or Audible or anything else I mean I don’t know anything about Scribd so you mind telling me?

Lmao sameee

[Bayan]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[I love summer so much and seeing things from her Perspective was enlightening and honestly I just really like the part where she tells Jack that what he did hurt August without breaking her promise and also I really like her character I really like the way she treats August and the reasoning behind it is just to be nice not because she feel sorry for him or anything she wanted to be nice to him on the first day and then afterwords she enjoyed his company so that was really good to know because at some point you still feel like she feel sorry for him but seeing it from her perspective is really really nice (hide spoiler)]

[Bayan]

Part 4 (view spoiler)[ This was a special part I enjoyed reading it I felt bad about what he did but not just because it hurt August honestly because he’s just a human being and I can relate to making mistakes and young age I did that so much I related it to him and that made the part very special (hide spoiler)]

[Bayan]

Part 6 -half way through-
(view spoiler)[ This part is a tiny bit sad for a lot of reasons the first reason being that Daisy might be dying at the specific point that I’m reading and another part is because August is starting to realize that he’s not the only important person in the family and this might hurt him as he grows up and start realizing even more real things like that and also a few more things just here and there but basically those two really really sad details are breaking my heart at the moment (hide spoiler)]

I would definitely recommend Scribd! They don't have as many titles as Audible so if you're looking for very specific titles, audible is still good, but for Scribd it's only $9 a month and you get to listen to as many audiobooks as you want that is available from their library. You can take a 1 month free trial and see how you like it :)

Forgot that I didn’t update here after I finished so here goes, this isn’t an update as much as a feeling bowl so bare with me if you’re reading it, I also record typed it lol
(view spoiler)[ This book destroyed me honestly but in the best of ways it tore me to pieces and put back the pieces in like so such a great way you will not believe how much I love this book how much I love the characters how much I love that the author made me feel like I wanted someone like August in my life not in a way because I feel bad that he’s got a face that isn’t like normal faces and I feel bad for him and I want to be nice to him no in the way that this boy was so kind and so courageous and has such a beautiful soul and I just honestly felt so happy reading this book I felt at ease it’s a type of book that teaches lessons so many amazing lessons and I just love that so very much when it’s a good story ana entertaining read and at the same time when you want to give it to your friend or child to read it you will find that to be the best thing you might have ever done I also want to say that I teared up at the scene where he receives a puppy at the end of the book I teared up when the principal said the words he said about kindness because that’s generally an amazing thing to be said nevertheless to the kids that have been through the things that they’ve been through with August and all that and also when he was standing on stage and people were giving him a standing ovation that was amazing I was so tearful at that stage you will not believe that it was over a book but I guess you get the point I love this book I love it very very very much I think it’s one of the books that I really want to reread again very soon and very often (hide spoiler)]

It’s such an amazingly deep and beautiful thing to say to your son and the fact that it happened right after he was awarded makes everything even better

Can’t wait to read what you think

Choose Kind
(view spoiler)[I feel for him so much, he has had so rough. But he's also brave: wants to go to school even though he got a teaser what it would be to be there. And this choose kind. It's so beautiful thought. I have noticed how people usually say so easily a bit too straight their own opinions. I mean a situation when someone is showing how excited he/she is for something. And another person doesn't understand why he/she is so excited and says something grumpy. That's not exactly the same thing they meant here, but I started to think about that. How not showing own opinions so strongly can sometimes be kind too. (hide spoiler)]

Johanna wrote: "Choose Kind

True I agree

[Johanna]

Part 1
(view spoiler)[NO HE DIDN'T!!! What a jerk! I'm so angry! I was so happy for Jack and then he said those things, whaaat?! I almost cried, I felt for August so strongly :( And this came just at the moment when I tried to think if this went a bit over: anyone doesn't even want to touch him etc. and I started to be a bit tired with it. It felt a bit too much. But then this happened and we got some action. I feel for him now (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Part 2
(view spoiler)[I feel for Via, it isn't easy to be without health issues in the family with someone who has them. I'm glad that Miranda had said that she miss her. (hide spoiler)]
