A year in rewind
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared {Billie Eilish}
DONT READ THIS PART IF YOU HAVENT READ THE WHOLE BOOK YET. THIS PART IS FILLED WITH SPOILERS.
************************************************
Hi! So, a lot of shit has happened in this book and I thought it'd be cute to summarize everything that happened BUT I had no idea how I'd summarize the entire book without writing a forty page essay lmao. So I eventually figured the easiest way to do it would be to just sum up everything that happened each month, since everything in this book happened over the course of a year.
Now, I may not be EXACTLY right about what happened in what month. The months seem to fly by in this book and I'm only doing my best to guess which month this stuff happened in. It's pretty accurate, but ya know, something I might put under 'october' bc I thought it happened in late October might've actually happened in early November. Sorry if that happens.
I hope you guys will use this part of the book to like discuss any and everything you want to about the book, tell me about your fave and least fave parts/chapters, the most memorable moments and sentences from the book, your fave and least fave characters, the parts that had you the most shook, etc etc. whatever you wanna talk about. (Lmao why am I acting like this is book club?)
I hope you guys enjoyed this book and thank you so much for reading!
So, here's a year in rewind!
