Status Updates From The Place Beyond Her Dreams

What a fool move to do that and not stick around to hear it all…

After all that chaos he just walks back in??

I don’t want to judge another culture and their traditions and idk if this is real or fictionalized but running through towns to cut heads off of people to bury a king like NO THANKS

Literally eye rolling

I’m like, hate reading this at this point lmao

Omg we heard a rustling oh no it’s gotta be a servant oh oopsie guess it was your soulmate you like just totally realized in this exact moment 🙄🙄

This character is so contradictory. Idk if this is was meant to be, but this is written like a bad diary entry. All of it. “Oh who am I kidding! Of course i like him” 2 line after saying she doesn’t 🤣

Cool so both her male options are gaslighting her already lol

It’s seriously all over the place. It’s like she’s fast forwarding through the character’s life and then pausing on, IMO, inconsequential moments. Why should I care that her grandmother is bringing up someone like Albert? There is zero set up.

I just can’t get into it. The book isn’t flowing right. Everything seems so contrived and obvious when it’s only happening to push the plot forward. This Okem “I will marry you” convo is so cringe.

“What memories did they conjure when they thought of him?”

My Aunt, when at funerals or talking to someone who is grieving, always asks people what their favorite memory of the person was.

So far, I love the concept and am excited to keep reading. Author writes beautifully, but I can’t get over how unnatural the dialogue seems. This is a child of an undetermined range talking to her grandfather so formally, it’s like 85 random SAT words smashed into a long sentence for no reason.
