I was pointed to ‘I Told You So’ by The Guardian, which described the book as ‘a messy, brilliant love letter to self-sabotage’. I read a load of reviews afterwards, and surprisingly to me, loads of them mentioned the soundtrack to the book. It’s sort of a post to the book as a whole – a sort of narrative mixtape. People either get it, or they find it pretentious. I’m in the former category – I loved how music was used as a sort of character in the book. And the ambiguous ending has been prompting a load of long posts in various forums ever since.

'PO’ left a strong impression. Several reviews on Goodreads discussed how unconventional the structure was, mainly the way it jumps between timelines, and how it could have easily fallen apart but didn’t. I liked it so much that some of the memorable quotes were highlighted, meaning dog-eared, in order to be able to refer to them later. It’s not a perfect book (some of the metaphors stay too long to be of use), but overall the emotional payoff is worth the read.

This is a book that I just finished reading last week, 'I Told You So'. The book is a very entertaining read as it contains lots of humor and lots of emotional moments, so I found it really hard to put down as I read it. The view point of the story is that of the main character throughout and it is written in such a way that it feels like you are reading a chat with an old friend, which has seen lots of things and is still quirky. As per other reviews, ‘I Told You So’ is a masterclass in balancing wit and heartbreak.

One thing that I loved about the side characters was that they were fully developed and you could follow along with their own individual stories. The dialogue was snappy in a similar vein to Aaron Sorkin’s work in the 80s and 90s but more vulnerable and honest. If you like books that make you laugh while also causing physical pain this book is for you. My biggest complaint with the book is that the end was somewhat rushed. I wish it could have continued for longer.

I Told You So was another TikTok find and I can see where everyone is coming from re this one. Most reviews are labeling it “refreshingly honest” but then also “trying too hard to be edgy”. I tend to agree with the first of these two statements. As with any book, there are some missteps along the way, but my overall impression was one of deep regret and of second chances. I particularly appreciated how silence was used in the novel. I even found the most tense scene of the book to be the one where two people communicate via a stream of Post-it notes.

Most reviews about the book have been polarized in that the same elements of the book that the author used excellently (POV switches, unresolved subplots) have been criticized by other readers. This mirroring of the book’s theme of how you can never fully know someone is very fascinating. Either way, it is definitely a book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.

Are there any reviews for The Last 10 Years book?

5 Answers2025-12-05
This book has wrecked me. ‘The Last 10 Years’ is more than another terminal illness story of love, it’s a deep exploration of the unassuming regret and appreciation of life. Although I’ve seen people compare this to ‘Me Before You’ it’s a vastly different read focusing more on self-forgiveness rather than romance. Most reviews of this book either love it or find it too heavy to handle but that’s basically life too so grab a box of tissues and dive in.

How many books are in the last thing he told me series?

7 Answers2025-08-06
It’s a single novel, a standalone, and often hype around things that are book club picks or are in development for TV can make them seem larger than they are. This novel feels like one novel and I didn’t feel any pressure to read three or four novels to get to the end of this one story. All storylines are brought to a close by the end of the book. That does not mean that all characters are brought to closure regarding their lives in general, however. In reality, their lives are never brought to closure and many ends are left open. However, the specific plot of the book is concluded for you. Therefore, if you detest cliffhangers and are worried about having to wait for years for a series to continue, this novel is a safe bet. It is one book, with one story. Everything is brought to a close for you, within the confines of the book, and you will be left satisfied.

Is My Promised Rejection worth reading? Review

9 Answers2025-12-19
Reading it feels like watching a slow-motion train crash where you’re pulling for both sides to change direction before it’s too late, watching as each mistake plays out before you can even warn them to change course. It’s horrifically fascinating. For me, the experience was not ‘enjoyable’ in any conventional sense – it was stressful, often frustrating, and, at times, even emotionally draining. But I did experience it. I found it to be utterly compelling and at times, I couldn’t look away. The wreckage of the characters’ lives at the end of the novel was left for me to attempt to piece together and that in itself is a skill – be it on an author to create such reactions, or on a reader to recognize them for what they are.

Where can I read the last thing he told me for free online?

9 Answers2026-07-29
Most 'free' sites with popular novels are content farms that will serve you ads and potentially other evils. Their "download" buttons are often fake and will install junk on your computer. The reading experience on these sites is usually abysmal: too small a font size, random and irregular line wrapping, and sometimes even missing pages. It's a false economy of your time and attention. If cost is really your only barrier to reading something, then for God's sake go to a library and get it for free, or set up a price drop alert for the Kindle edition on ereaderiq.com and wait for it to drop to the price of your choice.

Is Fed Up worth reading? Honest review

2 Answers2026-03-11
'Fed Up' was another fantastic read that hit all the right notes for me. Often I find that books about food are overly simplistic and fail to explore all of the different angles, but not this book. The author has a fantastic voice and does a wonderful job of making complex information appear straightforward – almost as if he is sitting in the corner of a diner sipping on coffee and pouring over his research notes. The ‘diet culture’ chapter was particularly excellent at exposing the many myths of the various fad diets out there – all presented in a humorous and highly persuasive manner. If you are a health enthusiast or just curious about why you eat as you do then this is definitely a book worth reading. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found myself frequently nodding in agreement before texting out quotes to my sister.

How does defending jacob book review end?

Notice the flat, detached, clinical writing in these chapters. Because Andy narrates the collapse of his life without ever going into hysterics, we get to read about Laurie's departure from him and about Derek's death. We also read about the solitary, infrequent visits he pays to his old friends in Penzance, each recounted in the same monotone of defeat. This is the numbness that follows the emotional peak of a man's life. There's no need for melodrama. Andy does not cry as he recounts these moments from his life. He reports them to us. And because he does so without any fluctuation of emotion, we do not experience his pain. Instead we are reminded of its absence and that is even worse. It is the literary equivalent of shock.

What are the reviews for burning down the house novel?

3 Answers2025-05-06
Burning Down the House by Gregory Maguire is not the family drama that I expected. The novel is a rich exploration of each member of the family and therefore becomes a sort of tutorial on character development. I found the inner struggle of the protagonist between her love for her family and her desire to escape from them to be particularly well done. Maguire’s ability to write very dark material and yet be funny in unexpected places makes his work feel real rather than miserable. What really worked for me was the exploration of the ways that silence between family members can be as harmful as actual conflict. It’s a really painful and difficult read at times, but it’s also really rewarding in the end, because even though things aren’t neatly tied up for the characters, there is hope for healing in a messy, imperfect way. It’s a really powerful exploration of the really tough and often unacceptable aspects of families and forgiveness and the scars that we carry.

What are the best stories in Somebody Told Me: The Newspaper Stories of Rick Bragg?

4 Answers2025-12-12
The most powerful story in “Somebody Told Me” is about the last diner in a dying town. I sit at the counter and listen to a group of very regular people tell stories to each other about their lives, and somehow, the plate of eggs in front of me becomes a elegy to the passing of an era. He has a very darkly funny piece about the courthouse dog (yes, the dog comforts the crime victims), and I find his witty and compassionate take on the goings-on of very local people perfectly balanced. His portrait of a sharecropper’s daughter, her hands rough from her work in the fields but her voice full of hope for her dreams is heart-wrenching and hopeful. The way he can find the universal in these very hyper-local stories is his magic.

Is Seven Dirty Secrets worth reading?

4 Answers2026-03-10
This is a great teenage drama type of book – full of betrayal and things that will make you go “gasping”. The secrets were more scandalous than I expected. My only complaint is that it ended a bit too perfectly for my taste, but that was an amazing journey. I read this on my library e-book and I needed to purchase it so that I could highlight all of the fabulous foreshadowing.
