“Set against the backdrop of America in its final days, its the high-spirited story of their love together, its laugh-out-loud funny, really heartwarming, and a visual feast...Together the two crazy kids grow, have madcap escapades, and learn an important lesson about love. They learn to resist the feed.” ~ M.T. Anderson

In a time when computers and technology already run our lives, whose to say Anderson’s vision won’t soon be coming true. “Feed” lets us see the pros and cons of such a bleak future coming to fruition. Beware...

While grammatically well written, this book is a better read with some previous background on Irish history and The Troubles. If you’re looking for something easy as a beginner historian, look elsewhere. If you’re invested in Irish history and are looking to brush up on your Troubles, give it a go.

That once-in-a-lifetime, totally unimaginable, scarily beautiful love that everyone secretly dreams of having comes to life with Stella and Will’s relationship. Sure, there’s ups and downs, but love (in its own way) always triumphs. ❤️

Even if you’ve seen the film, read the book too! The book is always better than the movie and Jenny Han’s tale of teenage romantic angst isn’t any different. ❤️
