I joined a new book club which I am enjoying. I have an issue though. One member is a speed reader. After every book is announced she will have it finished that evening. (We have 2 weeks to read it!) I recieved my book today and got a message in the chat! “Curious to see what everyone thinks of the ending? I hated it” every time!!! It makes me mad - I’m in the club to try and make friends and I have a problem with being too direct- so I’m hoping another group member will address it. Is this normal? She’s not spoiling it- but starting a book & knowing that the ending “has a twist” or “isn’t great” is so annoying.
You wanna make friends? Call that shit out and reap the benefits of everyone else coming up to thank you for doing the thing they didn’t want to do. Win-win.
I agree, I find that when I’m annoying all too often most of the group is equally annoyed but also scared to say anything.
IDK that person is just fast at reading and wants to talk about the book. Can’t blame them for being excited and wanting to talk about it right away.
OP could just hold off checking the group chat for a couple of days, yknow?
