Loved it

I was listening to atmosphere and had a lot of fun. I have very fond memories of this day. ... I feel like the story actually left a bigger mark on my brain, even if I didn't necessarily love the book to a five-star level, I remember it.

Loved it

If I had to single out a book that helped me the most in this entire journey and this entire experiment, I would have to attribute that to the First Time Caller. This would definitely fall into the category of read what you feel like reading and it was such a pleasant surprise.

The chapters were exciting, the pages were quick. I got into the mood of it. I almost started gaslighting myself that there's actually no problem at all, but this method, whilst extremely fitting for me, it is so incredibly book dependent. I'm going to give it 8.5 out of 10.
