We began with cake; we end with pie

This doesn't seem to make any sense. At all.

Let's get this over with. -____-

Hmm.

Its going pretty good but I'm curious when she figures out that its the people's emotions

I love the idea of this book, but I'm not liking the writing so far.

Could use a bit more subtlety, but I guess since she's a young girl, then teenager it works. Odd to think that the age when it all starts is Paige's current age.

Really not liking the majority of monotone voice!

What does the author have against quotations?!?! Not a pair has appeared!

About to finish reading it! Love it so far!

"I spent lunchtime at the porcelain base of the drinking fountain...pouring rust and fluoride into my mouth, trying to erase my peanut-butter sandwich."
There's no doubt Bender's phrasery and language is wonderful. In the first scene I was literally in the room with Rose, but it's one of those books where it looks like it's a perfect family, but everyone's either depressed or dying. Or both.

I did not expect to like this book as much as I am. It is fantastic!

I already love this book.

Interesting..

Kenapa kah Rose??

Crap. The narrator is nine years old. I obviously didn't vet this book very well.

I can't tell if I'm into it yet or not.

It is so sad, I'm struggling a bit

This will just be on queue. I have so many books to read that I need to finish them all.

Stuff's getting weird...

Being there was like having a good cry, the clearing of the air after weight has been held.

Many kids, it seemed, would find out that their parents were flawed, messed-up people later in life, and I didn't appreciate getting to know it all so strong and early.

Not what expected, but good.

This book is not what I expected. Not enough plot about the feelings is food.

A very melancholy book but I quite liked it.

I am not loving this book ... hope it gets better ...
