0:24.0

saving our thoughts and feelings for this episode so i think we're all very excited yeah i'm nervous

0:34.4

too for some reason i don't know why are you nervous i don't know i'm also i just i don't think I have any idea what you guys are going to rate it. I can't decide. I think I might know. I have, I don't know. I don't know what I'm reading it yet. Hmm. Maybe I do. I don't know. I might change my mind afterwards, but yeah. Do I want to start with that?

0:58.4

Yeah, why not? Yeah. Okay. Who's going first? Who wants to go first, anybody? You guys are both looking at me.

1:05.0

Kennedy just looks confident. How about Reggie, because she finished it first? Yeah, let's go to the order that we finished it.

1:11.7

You know, when I first finished, or I think while I was reading the book, I was like, this isn't going to be a five-star read for me. I didn't think it was going to. But like, the more I keep thinking about the book, the more I'm like, maybe it is a five-star read for me. So I'm trying to decide if it's like a 4.5 or a 5.

And it was just completely nothing like I thought it was going to be.

2:14.9

And I love that about it.

2:19.4

But I also didn't love that at the same time because I felt like I left with more questions than I had when I started the book.

2:24.9
