THOUGHTS
this wasnt a bad book and there were some messages in there that i picked up that i thought were kinda amazing but i believe that this book is more on the "have the time to read and interpret this like its meant to be" kind of read. ....and unfortunately i did not do that.
what was all that talk about death and being dead? im sure it was metaphorically but i didnt pick up on it because i wasnt 100% into it.
its a quick listen to, only 4 hours, but it kinda felt like it dragged.
by 90% i was like how much more is there to say!? what else is there to say!?
im not the type of person to really be into essays and shit like that so maybe that's why i didnt vibe with this all the way, but it wasnt bad.
just, if you pick it up, pay attention to wtf she's talking about because it doesn't take much to get lost in her thoughts.

It is hard to sit still and listen to everything you can listen to on purpose.

When Minnie meets Quinn at a NYE party, it’s clear that they’ve got nothing in common – except for the strange fact of their being born in the same place at the same time on New Year’s Eve. A crazy coincidence, but not a reason to pursue a friendship, and definitely not an excuse for Quinn to hope for something more.
He is a privileged party boy who believes the world is his for the taking. She is a hard-working realist, whose lack of confidence tends to hold her back.
Opposites don’t really attract…it’s not like this is a rom-com, right?
The clock strikes midnight, their moment passes, and another year begins. But if Quinn and Minnie are from different worlds, why do they keep bumping into each other? And why is it that each frustrating interaction somehow seems to push their lives in the right direction? Could it be that instead of clashing, their different outlooks might complement each other?
Perhaps now is the time for them to finally come together...

THOUGHTS
this book was the cutest fucking thing ever!
this was exactly what i needed. it was a cute breezy read that didn't require too much thought and i loved the entire cast. especially Fleur. (am i spelling that right? idk. im too lazy to check.) it was so light and easy to read through that 3 days after finishing it, i find myself still thinking about it. (its been a year plus and ive thought about it because i've seen it around IG lately. i don't think ill reread it any time soon but i know i might sometime in the future.)
the reason i picked this book as my book of the month pick was simply because Minnie's bday falls on new years day. and so does Quinns.
AND SO DOES MINE!!
and just like me, Minnie hates to celebrate her bday.....except i just hate it because of who i am not because of any type of bad luck or anything like that.
and just like me, Minnie hates to celebrate her bday.....except i just hate it because of who i am not because of any type of bad luck or anything like that.
i liked that Quinn doesn't fight his feels. i mean, he does but because its a psychological thing....not because he's being a dick.
im so used to enemies to lovers that when i get books where they just go for it (even if there is a little bit of trouble along the way) i love it! (i mean this is only my second one The Honey-Don't List was my first.)
minnie was a mess but tbh, that was all her mother. UGH her mother pissed me the fuck off.
it made me realize that as parents we have a lot of responsibility in how we raise our kids, (why am i saying we? im nowhere near having kids!) ...but anyway, it just made me realize how easy it is to damage kids ....maybe even without knowing that we are doing it. in this case, i do feel like the mom knew but im trying to be nice here.
there are "heavier" issues that are talked about and maaaaaaybe not handled all that well, or like, resolved but im choosing to just look past it because if i think about it, well, Minnie's mom is a nurse so i can see how she handled it herself to an extent.
anyway, im not really feeling chatty so ill leave it at that.
perfect read for when you just want to read a book that doesn't require too much of you.
thanks for reading!
