Look, I get that Noah being a single dad is a big part of this book, but frankly dgaf about his kid’s diarrhea.

I don’t think a book has ever made me crave a cigarette before, Jesus fucking Christ

This is one of my toughest reads in a while, fuck…

Don’t understand how it’s YA tbh, other than the fact it’s about young adults. If I read this when I was in high school, I think I’d be fucked up

I’ll have a lot more to say when I finish, but Croucher is absolutely successful so far. They do such a good job of showing how horrible Bastian is, but how just adorable Seb was. You can’t help root for a redemption here.

IDK what it says about me but I’m rooting for Briar and Seb. If that boy doesn’t get redeemed somehow, what was it all for?? Let me be a pathetic hopeless romantic 😭

“I’m coming to the cottage.”

Screaming, crying, throwing up

He quickly left the hospital room of the man he loved, and forced himself to focus on winning the Stanley Cup.

Ok, maybe I should just kms I guess 😭😭

“Shane liked a girl!”

I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending

It’s just a tuna melt, Shane. He’s not proposing marriage.

Idiots to lovers. Idiots to lovers. IDIOTS TO LOVERS.

In the car, Shane told his parents that he had been talking to Ilya Rozanov.

“What’s he like?” his mother asked.

“Kind of a dick,” Shane said.

☠️☠️

Only finished the prologue and I’m already devastated 😭

I will insist to my dying day that Ilya and Shane are not enemies to lovers, but idiots to lovers (the supreme trope)!

I’m only a chapter in, but I can’t believe it took me so long to read these.

Already obsessed with Maria. We stan a fag hag.

I don’t want to be dramatic, but the scene with Persephone and Will in Hades’s palace may be one of the best scenes in this entire series.

I’m trying to decide which Ted Lasso characters this started off as fanfiction for… Maybe too obvious but it’s giving Dani/Jamie?? Maybe Dani/Colin??

If you squint, the love interests could be seen as half brothers lol

If Jacob’s not a demon, I’m eating my hat

After just finishing an awful book, this is the palate cleanser I need. I hope. It is about Hades and death after all.

This is just a slog to get through and Cliff is just too unlikable of a character to spend this much time with.

Sooo close to DNF’ing this but I am invested in Miles’s story. If he doesn’t have a happy ending with Joey, this will be a two star book. Ugh.

Enemies to lovers because they just don’t understand each other yet??

Tap my veins and inject that shit right in it

This author overuses “their expression softened” and its variants waaaay too much and it’s driving me crazy

Just because your characters are acknowledging how fast they’re moving does not mean it makes it any more believable and less annoying. You met a day ago! You’re not falling in love! Shut up!

A surge of faith is swelling over the Low Countries like a wave that will swamp them all. Even in Brugge, especially in Brugge; today’s Mass was so crowded, they ran out of altar bread. It has been a week since anyone was murdered. He needs to stop this. They might wake God up with their fervor.

The others seemed confused. Then the glow became brighter: a holographic golden sickle with a few sheaves of wheat, rotating just above Meg McCaffrey.

A boy in the crowd gasped. “She’s a communist!”

Asdfggggggh

Oh, no… this book is making me like Mr. Collins! Justice for this awkward gay man on the spectrum. 😭

“He even brought European earth here.”

5 bucks says they’re vampires.

Sometimes Miranda can be so bitchily incisive that Mikey swears there’s gotta be a tiny little gay man pressing buttons somewhere in a corner of her brain.

I know it’s extremely cliche and overdone, but a precocious tween always makes me laugh in a book. I love when a writer just writes a kid as a mini adult. Is it lazy? Maybe! But it nearly always works.

Thank god for ARCs!

“I’m pretty sure somewhere in the Torah, it says that when you retire, you must move to Florida and constantly kvetch about the heat. Also, you must hound your child to marry and produce grandchildren. My mother’s biggest wish? For me to have a husband. Or at least a boyfriend. Good luck.”
