I'm #14 on the library wait list.
Which wasn't nearly as far down as I was expecting, TBH.

CMM is a total douche. I fully believe he lied to people that he had broken up with Erin because he was planning on it and that Sophia was naive enough to believe him. He was probably hedging his bets and keeping Erin on the back burner. Yep I fully believe it

I am sitting at work and deciding if I want to make the walk to circulation to see if I can grab the Britney book. I feel like I will be judged.

Apparently, the three named actress started believing the blind items about her cheating actor husband.

I am in such a smart person book club. There’s never a single light book, no beach reads. We love horrible, heart-wrenching books that take forever to get through. Colleen Hoover books are our fav thing to make fun of. And we’re all chatting about how we’re so excited for Brit book. It scratches a bit of nostalgia that we all have. I say read it with pride.

She made a movie that just hit Netflix this weekend where she plays a down on her luck adult who lies about her age to “date” a teen to help him lose his virginity for pay for a used car. It’s called No Hard Feelings. It’s the nude scene people are losing it about. oh wow. I vaguely saw the preview for thisbatvsome point and just thought the son was like early 20s, not a teen.🤮 Even then I thought it was a dumb premise but yikes. He’s a hs graduate about to go off to college. I think he’s 19. It’s a weird set up for her for a movie and the kid’s dad is Mathew Broderick.

I think a lot of (especially white) women of a certain age range/generation will want to read her book. No shame in that, she was pretty influential in a lot of young girl's/teen's lives growing up.

Briefly, it doesn’t happen as often as you think that two players on the same team actually date each other. Maybe there are hookups? I don’t know that life, truly. A handful or so of players on each team are gay/bi So Ali and Ashlyn dated for a long time privately. Lots of unconfirmed rumors, etc for several years. They both were on the team that won the World Cup in 2019 and they got married shortly after. Fans everywhere freaked out that the rumors were true. Then they had kids and the whole modern gay fairy tail. So I think bc they were the first US teammates to get married, people are UPSET. Lots of “I wanted to be right about Sophia Bush but not like THIS” They’ve both basically retired/phased out from the US team by now but because it’s a family with two (now former) players people were really all in. Was Ashlynn pretty well liked before this? Everyone seems to have chosen team Ali pretty quick. Makes sense if Ashlynn really cheated. I’m not sure one was more liked than the other. Ashlyn has always been a back up goalkeeper while Ali was one of the teams best players in the tournament they won. It was more that people liked the two of them together. The quick jump to everyone being Team Ali is due to the cheating and they are mad that Ashlyn broke up their family.

I'm in a similar boat - 420th in line. I have to assume my library will get more copies to cut that wait time down. Or I'll give up in a few weeks and buy it.

I saw it at work yesterday. It’s short. Like 250 pages. And I can’t imagine it’s a tough read. Hopefully people return it quickly!

Hopefully people return it quickly! Yeah, the audiobook says it's 6 hours. Luckily, it's Destiny Child's Michelle Williams narrating. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure I could listen to 6 hours of Britney talking and I generally enjoy when the authors narrate their own biographies/memoirs, but that was just too much Britney.

When clicking on the name on Amazon within the audiobook page, it takes me to DC Michelle Williams work, not actress Michelle Williams. ETA: admittedly, I am not overly familiar with either Michelle Williams speaking voice, but either has to be better than Britney's faux baby voice.

Aren't both Michelle Williams technically DC Michelle Williams? Depends on if you want Destiny or Dawson 😂

So if we purchase 2 ebooks, only 2 patrons can have it out at a time. Otherwise authors would lose a ton of money. Same with audiobooks. You are all welcome for my library lesson.
