Status Updates From These Gentle Wounds

This is already breaking my fucking heart.

here we go boys

turns out this book wants you in a pUDDLE ON THE FLOOR which is very nice thanks so much 😭😭😭

I've been editing like a fiend this last week aND READ NOTHING. I am starved. Come break my heart, little book, I need you.

"I'm going to sit there, and stay quite, and play a movie in my mind, and go somewhere else."

I do this all the time! I found something common between me and Gordie.

I'm more than halfway done and I'm getting that sad feeling I get when I'm almost done with a book.

And that part with Jordan made me so emotional. So far really liking this book.

Like always, I went into this book knowing barely anything about it. And I'm happy about that decision. I had no idea mental illness would be a main focus/topic in the book. I can relate to the MC so much and understand how he 'spins' into his mind often. This isn't a very popular book, surprisingly, but I'm liking it so far.

Realmente me ah sorprendido de una buena manera, hay cosas muy fuertes y cosas muy lindas y me gusta ver el apoyo que le dan jim, Sara y Kevin

Me encanta tiene momentos duros y otros muy dulces me eh encariñado con los personajes en tan poco

Wow es increíble me está enganchando muchísimo

Noooooo. And Sarah was going so well too!! Why did she have to do that?? I mean, it is not the worst thing she could have done, but I am still a little sad it happened.

I am really liking this so far! I am just hoping, praying, this girl does not become one of those "not like other girls" girl. I really really hope she does not. I have hope though.

This book just keeps getting better and better. I was not prepared for the level of angst or the emotional investment I would have when I opened this book.

OK. No.

So far I'm only liking the writing style. I feel like something's missing and it's not just because Sarah's not even intriguing. At some point I started skimming a few paragraphs because things weren't interesting enough. I'll go crazy if I mark another book unfinished so I'll be forcing myself to see this one through :/

I feel the need to say this at this point, yes at this point, of the book: OKAY, MY HEART, CALM DOWN.

This book is so on point. THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE PTSD. I love Gordie and his adorably shy personality. I just love this book and I wasn't expecting to and now I don't know what to do.

I love Gordie. He's so painfully awkward and shy it's killing me. Not to mention how freaking SPOT ON this representation of PTSD is in this book. I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is.

You guys this is so depressive!!!!!!

Okay, these brothers are giving me lots of feelings.

Why did this suddenly turn into a love story. I mean, that was fast.

love it so far!

Only 70 something pages in and I am swept up in this, and oh how I already love the main character.

geez. this book is just as good the second time!

I'm glad this is as good as I was expecting!

It was only a matter of time before we got to a "I realize I've been holding my breath" sentence.

This isn't bad, but it's really annoying me that every time it mentions Moby-Dick, it's not hyphenated!
