Status Updates From A Love Like the Sun

today’s reading day was harddd. ik something bad’s gonna happen 😭 learning im not a fan of medical stuff in my books, and the memory of issac coming in that window? like a punch to the chest. this is so well written, and truly makes me feel, just not sure if the content is what i would go for again.

the book actually brought a bit of heat to my chest today, but i’ve realized something. i’m deeply invested in the story of issac and laniah, but not of issac or laniah, which is why i quickly deflated when she went back home. 😭 reading about a fake long distance relationship when i don’t particularly love/root for the characters individually is…difficult. again, beautiful writing, im just not connected.

it’s so cute — ugh i’m so torn, some parts are 3 stars and some are 4. like i love the slips of intimacy we’re seeing as the characters grow closer together. i’m jus a big fan of that depth, and it kinda takes a bit to get there in this boom for me.

it’s definitely warm and cozy some parts, love lex and laniah’s friendship, the sexual mentions are just a lot. 😭 like honestly if there’s no deep/emotional/intimate aspect specifically to the spice and feels more like lust i don’t think i can really enjoy spice in a book

love lex, i’m still a little bored idk why 😕. maybe im just in the mood for more drama. like it’s so so well written, it just feels like watching a vlog..like i have to be in the moooood for a vlog. but i’m anti dnf so forward we shall go.
