Literary Fae Book Club discussion

Welcome to the first week of reading! This book will be noted via pages, as there are no chapter numbers. Some thoughts for discussion this week:

What do you think about the main character so far?
Who is your favorite supporting character?
What are some characteristics you appreciate about the plot?

I love Felix he is a cutie. Ummm the MC is interesting... the audiobook is what Im doing for this and ebook so I'm reading along :)

I haven't started yet (probably starting this weekend) but I'm going to be doing the audiobook as well, yay!!

Gah! I realized the eBook has chapters and the page numbers are different than print. So I updated the title of this topic to help reflect that and help those listening via audiobook too~

“The trouble is, depression doesn’t come with handy symptoms like posts and a temperature, so you don’t realize at first. You keep saying ‘I’m fine’ to people when you’re not fine. You think you /should/ be fine. You keep saying to yourself: ‘Why aren’t I fine?’”

I really love this quote. Sometimes, we don’t know when we are experiencing something more than just being sad. We are confused to why we feel a certain way and beat ourselves up about it. We pretend we’re okay when we really aren’t. But it’s okay to not be okay.

I’m looking forward to how Audrey’s journey continues! I like her as a main character so far. I like that she addresses the reader and ‘breaks the third wall’, in a way!

I find the mother to be pretty annoying and bugging. I would have anxiety too if I lived with her, just listening to this audiobook is low key giving me temporary anxiety! I can't stand overbearing parents.

I think Audrey and Linus writing notes to each other is cute and a great way to communicate - Linus seems understanding of Audrey's aversion to people and thats nice!

I finally started it today! I'm only around page 35 but I'm enjoying the humor of it; the opening scene with the laptop and all the neighbors watching had me cracking up.
Audrey seems interesting so far, too, and I feel like her anxiety is well written at the moment! I'm interested to see how this develops...

Felix is awesome! Such a cute little kid. He's the balancing act of the family imo lol. What are you thinking of the audiobook? I debated reading via this option but chose print!

Totally agree with you! She's kinda anxiety inducing and probably partly the affect she's having on the family. I also like how Audrey and Linus write notes to each other!

Same here! I'm trying to imagine it happening on my street and... dying! I agree about Audrey--I like how she describes the anxiety and talks to her therapist.
