@nche Umm, I have an unhealthy love for this movie and would gladly discuss it no matter how much later the original comment 🙂 I totally agree, the book was so bad that I couldn't believe the movie salvaged the majority of the plot and then made it BETTER.
The Harry Potter book thing had me dying because I've had bosses where when you achieve the impossible once, they just find progressively more and more insane tasks for you do (which, when you somehow manage to actually complete those, makes them assume it's all a walk in the park). Would I do that job now as a full on adult? Never (who has that energy!?), but as a 20-something, just out of college...absolutely and I actually have (not in that field, and certainly not glamorous, but with a boss fairly nutty and beyond demanding).
Can I also add that Andy's boyfriend was a giant jerkface in the movie, how was he meant to be sympathetic at all?!
@MissPuff Hahaha I don't seek it out but I watch this movie every time its shown on cable - which is actually quite often strangely.
It's funny because I made my husband watch it once a long time ago and he's become super into it too - maybe because it is actually a work dramedy and not a rom-com. He has a lot of opinions. Especially about the boyf. He hated the unsupportive boyf who didn't care how Andy was struggling or her accomplishments. This was hilarious to me because he loved entourage and the actor is the main guy from that show.
I know exactly what you mean about impossible tasks. I had a boss that gave me increasing number of duties and when I finally found a new job and gave notice, he had to get 3 people to do my work. lol. And he told them my tasks are easy and when I trained the 3 PEOPLE, they were like this is not easy at all. This is so complicated. Yup, it was easy for him to review because I did the work properly. Now I'm older with boundaries (but I still say yes too much).
A couple of us talked during the meetup about reading “More Than Enough” by Elaine Welteroth since we had the chance to get it signed at the NYC Color Up Close event. Im going to try and start this week.
@clairedabear @trishavt @ElleElleG @michelleshops @unfungirl @Cyncynn @jen143xo @darkiceis
I haven't started as of yet @lnum . Would love to hear everyone's feedback though!
@lnum thanks for the reminder! i started the book on my flight home, and i am already halfway through! i would love to discuss it with you ladies after we all read it! it's impossible to put down.
@unfungirl Ohhhh I’m going to try and start it this week!!! We can video you into our book club meeting. 😄
@darkiceis had the brilliant idea to start a book club and meetup for us NYC gals. I was thinking of creating a WhatsApp group if you all use WhatsApp?
Currently reading the final third book of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy “Rich People Problems” and then I’m going to read Fire and Blood.
@SportyGirly125 @KehDee - I thought this thread was dead, but it turned out I hadn't been receiving my subscription e-mails for over six months! I just finished Crazy Rich Asians. I'm on the wait list for the second book, and have the third book on my wish list. I have another book on the wait list and three more books on the wish list. The book I checked out is The Devil Wears Prada.
@Titian06 the first book took me forever to read. The 2nd and 3rd book are so much better.
@KehDee several people on here have read the books and enjoyed them. I also like “To All the Boys I Loved Before” series books.
@KehDee hopefully you can finish all 5 books before he releases the newest one that was suppose to come out 2 years ago but keeps getting postpone.
Was wondering if anyone had any good books they'd recommend for summer reading. I just finished reading "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane" by Lisa See, "Half Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls and "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.
