@Laura-Jayne Wesley I am loving it. About a 27% in and it's amazing. I feel like I needed this book at the moment.
I agree! I am on page 77 and It's already one of my favourite books! I think she has done it so cleverly and it's really made me appreciate what I have in life!
"All those women having jobs: hard to imagine, now, but thousands of them had jobs, millions. It was considered the normal thing. Now it's like remembering the paper money, when they still had that. [...] I guess that's how they were able to do it, in the way they did, all at once, without anyone knowing beforehand. If there had still been portable money, it would have been more difficult. " - The Handmaid's Tale
Everything can be taken away.
Amazing book that puts a lot into perspective.
Very true Laura-Jayne Wesley. We have to hold our loved ones even tighter.

Yeah, I'm almost done with Less but I must say it was a struggle to finish it.

Yeah, I'm almost done with Less but I must say ..." It's a pity, because the character is very sweet. I had some problems with the writing style....

What If It's Us by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli"
Ooooh, how did you like Find Me? I've read mixed things about it and I haven't even read CMBYN, just watched the movie, but I'm thinking about picking up one of Aciman's other books just for a taste.
