This is one of my favorite books of all time. I desperately need to re read this book. I read it two years ago now, in the winter of my senior year of high school and I watched the movie with my two best friends after I finished it. I’m ashamed to say I fell asleep during the movie, and it’s not like Lily James’ acting was that boring or anything, I was just truly exhausted. I fell asleep watching the Breakfast Club with them too, on a similar winter night on the same couch. But anyways, TGL&PPPS took me awhile to get into. I think I attempted to read it a few times and there were just too many characters to keep up with that I just couldn’t. But then I set my mind to it and I finished it and by the time I finished it I forgot how to pronounce a lot of the characters names. And I was chatting recently with my friend about one of the characters and I mispronounced her name and I felt ashamed, like you do when you realize you don’t remember the name of your friend from elementary school that you thought you’d be best friends with forever. So maybe I don’t have a good memory like my mom says I do and maybe I just couldn’t hold that information because I read the book at a stressful time in my life and I didn’t have the capacity. Or maybe those are all excuses and if I play enough Wordscapes, my memory will improve like the in-game ads talk about.
