Status Updates From Chaos (Young Decay, #2)

Idk who needs to hear this but burning a wet specimen complete with jar is a terrible idea

And the epilogue is another damn terribly written sex scene

It's insane that they managed to make the justification for the fake dating trope in this even more convoluted

This is an insane escalation in the last 10% of the book that was absolutely unnecessary and is mostly just irritating

The adhd continues to feel so fucking forced because these are neurotypicals the author is just pathologising behaviors that while associated with adhd are not actual proof of it because other people also do it

Every time the author tries to show me that these characters are neurodivergent it feels so forced and unnatural.

Like sorry man but these are neurotypicals who consumed too much pop psych tiktok adhd misinformation and convinced themselves they have a developmental disorder

I'm gonna be so real man, I know people's preferences for genital words in sex scenes vary from person to person but using pussy here is possibly the least appealing choice the author could have made and I can't articulate why

How tf do you cheat at charades as the person acting

I cannot emphasize how much the absolutely bonkers like organized crime side plot does not work in this book where the rest of the story is like a relatively normal real life modern day setting

help the author forgot she'd switched to text bubbles and left in the dialogue tag 😭😭😭

Aggressive Sex is not a super healthy way to manage your anxiety btw like you need more coping mechanisms than that and damaging your hearing

I feel like the band's manager is doing way more than a band manager actually does irl

The problem is the level of intensity and insanity with Wren's backstory feels wildly out of place in the modern real world setting the story takes place in.

It feels like it belongs in a fantasy novel and not whatever this is

He is TOO horny

Diagnosed multiple conditions neurodivergent here: what the fuck is a "doom box" that's nothing I hate TikTok

I think we gotta stop calling it a romance novel when it's basically just nonstop sex scenes

Like this is porn. It's bad porn, but it's porn. And that's fine, but be honest about what it is

I cannot emphasize enough how extremely neurotypical this supposed "neurospicy" character reads

It's giving TikTok adhd content to inaccurate self diagnosis pipeline

I still have not identified the sunshine character in this grumpy/sunshine romance
