I have some pretty major issues with this novel, and a lot of them pertain to how it treats the reader.

This book WANTS to be a text that’s dissected, but it does the analysis IN THE TEXT. There’s a section where Raquel is on the phone with her mother and refers to her hair as being ‘fetishised’.

If you want readers to analyse your book, you need to give them space and treat them like an equal.

I think I have opinions on this that aren’t going to make people happy

this book goes on FOREVER

I don’t want to talk about this life decision, just know I’m not of sound mind

very jarring because this is both very relatable and also very very not relatable.

“There’s something about men and cars, just the way that they hold the clutch” I’m sorry?? What are they holding?? The clutch?? Babe that’s on the FLOOR.

aw shit here we go again

Everyone watching Xaden and Violet practically fuck on the practice mat 👁️👄👁️

Did we really just describe giving head in the dark as ‘snuffling around like a randy anteater??’ Actually JAIL

‘Maya is best when she’s complacent’ sooooo romantic 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
