This is your space to chat about this month's book selection with other readers. There is no set schedule to follow, and no discussion leader is assigned. Everyone should feel free to post comments, share pertinent articles or interviews, ask questions, share likes or dislikes, etc. Most importantly, enjoy reading together!

Do you have any favorite quotes or scenes?

New to this here--Is there like a timeline other than just this month? Like do you recommend chapters 1-10 for week 1 etc. or is it more of a on your own pace were just all reading it?

Hi Ashlyn! I'm not a mod or an expert here, but from what I understand, this is a read-and-discuss-at-your-own-pace read-along. This is in the first post: "There is no set schedule to follow, and no discussion leader is assigned."

Just finished; no spoilers.
The author’s writing style is particularly effective given the age of the protagonist, and it’s instantly relatable. Interested to watch the movie to see how it compares to the book.

Looking at the world through a teenage boy’s perspective feels so exciting. Some experiences feel so alive!
