I’m working on an audio transcript using voice recognition technology, and this gentleman has a very nice accent, but when he says “got” the word is often noted down as “God”.
We don’t know what God tested and what God registered as true or untrue.
We don’t know what God entered into the code since the last time we tested.
We don’t know what God ticketed as an issue and what just God ignored.
Now we know what God changed, but we don’t have a record of what God approved.
“We don’t know what God ticketed as an issue and what just God ignored.“

My hold on Half His Age came through and I'm already a quarter of the way into it and I am so uncomfortable (complimentary), but fuck I love McCurdy writing. It's so effective, and she has such a strong writer's voice. I love it. It stands out. It's unflinching and bold and feels like holding a mirror up to society/social norms/etc and demanding that you look at them and think about why certain things are the way they are and who benefits from it all.
It’s unsettling how often agreement doubles as giving up.

Jennette McCurdy and I agree: unframed posters in a guy’s bedroom is THE biggest red flag 🚩
He knows it’s beneath me, and he refuses to engage. It’s an honor, being regarded highly enough to be disappointing.

Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy Review
Dates Read: January 23 — January 25, 2026
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Genre: Literary Fiction
2026 Reading Goal: 4/50
I was really excited when Jennette McCurdy announced her fiction debut because I LOVED I’m Glad My Mom Died. However, after I read the first chapter, I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this book, but I wanted to keep reading because I really like Jennette. As I kept reading, I actually ended up really enjoying it after changing my expectations.
I was initially expecting this to be a similar type of story to My Dark Vanessa (which I enjoyed), but that isn’t what this book is at all. This book is almost as if Charles Bukowski were a Gen Z teenage girl. It is a mundane “slice of life” character study where McCurdy does not bog the reality of the narrative down with flowery language or assign a lot of moral value to her main character’s “good” or “bad” actions. Everything just “is.”
The themes are laid on a tad bit thick at times, but they are still pretty well-executed overall, especially by contemporary standards. Also, although the novel primarily focuses on the relationship between Waldo and Mr. Korgy, Waldo’s relationships with her mother and friend also feel complex and integral to her character development.
This novel wasn’t what I expected to be, but I am pleasantly surprised but what it is because I enjoy this style for writing. I think McCurdy has a lot of talent as a storyteller, and I look forward to seeing what else she writes in the future.
We can’t help who or what we love, who or what we want. Might be the most honest thing about people—what we want.

I’m reading Jennette McCurdy’s Half His Age and I really appreciate how gross it is.
Like talking about bodily functions, body parts, intrusive thoughts, gross intrusive thoughts.
Despite being a significant part of life, most of us want to gloss over those things or pretend they don’t exist but I appreciate that they’re highlighted, especially in a high school-aged female character, when puberty rampantly shoves that shit in your face.
The Jennette McCurdy book really is a test of reading and symbolism comprehension. Do you really think she wrote a steamy romance and named the mc Waldo and the love interest Mr. Korgy? Character names matter, so I'm asking does this come across to you as the next big booktok romance couple? Or are the names intentionally like that to distance the relationship the book is examining from romance?
And the back summary is clearly written in character as the 17 year old mc. Because in abuse situations people think all kinds of things about themselves and who is taking advantage of them.
This book is described as a poignant character study. Nowhere does this say romance. It's categorized as literary fiction.
It really doesn't take much thought to put together that maybe this book is not a steamy romance about a teacher and his student. But apparently I set the bar to high...
