I had a booked that I loved back about 15 yrs ago. I decided to pick it up and read it again recently and found that there were a number of scenes that I didn’t remember being so cringy. I continued after the 1st two gross passages and then ended up quitting the book and ultimately donated it. It was on my shelf for years and I really like it so many yrs ago…. Times change. Too much negativity nowadays. Move onto something that makes you feel good.
