Not sure what’s happening, will probably traumatize Rosie.

If you’re in my book club and you just saw me start this, no you didn’t

Adultery Sandwiches is wild.

I love the crippling co-dependency. ❤️

Feeling very anxious about Rose constituting drinking rusty water to make herself feel better. 7/10 ick factor for me.

que LOCURA

What's with the lack of double quotes in dialogues??

Enjoying this more than expected. Actually quite heavy.

I feel so bad for rose imagine eating a CKs pastry and tasting the agony of working in CKs

So bad and lacks punctuation. Also they lost me at the slur.

One line. One single line contrasting her life and someone else. Insane.

Well .. this got real boring real fast.

How does a 9 year old have this sophisticated internal monologue and observant at 5 years old? Or is she just a plot device/narrator to give us the story? No idea.

Book started out as a 5 then dropped to a 2 😭😭😭

The complexity of motherhood emotions and existential sadness and marital dread is too much for a poor 9 ear old to handle :(

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. If it wasn't an audio and I wasn't at work, I probably would have dnf.
I get the concept people put their feelings into the food they make. But Rose, her family, and the interesting story, are hard to keep your interest throughout.

Random selection. Let’s goooo

wat de fak

“When I crossed the street, according to my mother, I still had to hold someone’s hand. At ten, I would be able to cross unhanded… I grabbed George’s hand. Right away: fingers, holding back. The sun. We hit the sidewalk, and dropped hands. How I wished, right then, that the whole world was a street.”

this is really good ngl

This is a re-listen. I've loved this book for years 😊

FOR YOU I BOUGHT BINOCULARS
I’m devastated

Did not finish.

DNF around page 150…wasn’t for me 😬

dit gaat wel leuk worden i think maar ik ben heel erg moe en nu is de leesclub van eva tolman weer en ik wil eigenlijk gewoon een dutje doen. stel je voor je zou venten op goodreads dat zou echt fucking grappig zijn i should do that. gewoon een traumadump in je review LMAO.

im actually really liking this book. but what the HELL DO U MEAN THE BROTHER HAS A TABLE LEG.

I keep falling into this food mysticism genre

Unexpected twist! Though maybe I should have seen it coming…

Well I don’t know what I just read. That took
Some turns I didn’t expect.

Note: this books uses to quotation marks and it’s very confusing

Something weird has happened or is happening. I assumed there'd be weirdness, based on the title and the snippets written on the back. This is something else entirely.
