Uh oh, trouble brewing! One of those nights where you wish your mobile had a “drunk” filter that stops you posting on social media. Perhaps there would be one if she didn’t have such an old model of mobile phone…?
One key new word for my vocabulary this week - bolleras!
Despite this week being a tad longer than last, I fell like I read it quicker. Hoping next week goes just as smoothly.
Anyway, it’s party time! Nina is a huge ball of insecurities; I don’t really blame her, considering her situation, and I wonder if part of the book will be her coming to terms with her financial situation?
Interesting that she’s already kissed a girl at a previous party; I suppose we’re coming into the book with her not having given a lot of thought to her own sexuality? I wonder at her posting that -¡Ah, bolleras! video; like I mentioned in my week 1 thoughts, I don’t remember the contents of the back of the book, so I’ll speculate without taking that into account. I wonder if her posting this is going to lead to some nasty chain reactions?
I also found it interesting how apparently her social network following is built on her posting videos at Ezra’s huge house and all the parties she’s gone to. Sounds like a quick way to lose it all if/when she leaves the friend group.
Ugh, I really want to start making flashcards of all the vocab I’m highlighting, but I don’t have any sort of system set up. @.@ My Japanese Anki habit is yelling at me right now…
Week 2!
Oh yeah, that is going to come back to haunt Nina for sure.
It’s interesting - I don’t like her, so far, but I have a lot of sympathy for her situation. She’s trying to deal with a bad situation in a not ideal way. I’m also hoping for a bit of a coming of age sort of story here. 
I’m also very happy with it so far. Reading digitally this time makes lookups much smoother, but I also think the writing and (comparative) lack of complexity and fantasy elements
is more suited to my level. 
I managed a whooping 4 percent in the car today!
