“Twenty minutes for them; twenty light-years for us.”
Light-year is a unit of distance not time, cmon Nate do better

Jesus christ jonah is INTOLERABLE. He needs to be taken down a peg or two million
How dare he think he has a right to comment on her outfits or relationship with her father?
Why is it any of Calla’s responsibility to know about or like alaska when her alaskan parent is a shithead?
Her dad should grovel. There is absolutely NO good excuse for the awful impact he had on his daughter, regardless of his intention.

She is so male centric. Says she doesn’t want to serve men (when her mother suggests learning shorthand, she equates having a job to serving men), makes pseudo feminist statements all the time, tells Buddy she is never going to marry, yet imagines a life with every man she meets. Her hypocrisy and inconsistency drive me crazy.

“The only thing was, when I tried to picture myself in some job, briskly jotting down line after line of shorthand, my mind went blank. There wasn’t one job I felt like doing where you used shorthand.”

Does she realize she’s fortunate to have a scholarship in the first place? That she is not entitled to having her needs met, and that most humans work out of necessity, not because they want to?

“if such a place belonged to Lord Larsen, he would have appropriated it and restricted the access to himself and his family. Clearly, Gabriel believes in communal spaces and wants everyone to experience real sunlight. The kind of principles you develop when you weren’t raised on the fiftieth floor.”

It doesn’t belong to Gabriel personally, it belongs to the “general”. Larson’s home is private property

“How dare you speak of abuse of power, with what you are about to do to Sofia?”

You tell them, Queen!

the author really rubbed “class inequality” and pRiViLeDgEd upper houses in our faces yet says a general can sleep with any of the upper houses mates? So the general is technically more privileged than any of the upper class but claims to be “woke.” Ew
It’s distractingly unrealistic that the military is composed only of engineers. Very weird premise overall, to mix omegaverse with a wannabe equal society.

“And I hate every Knowles man alive for going after us, and going after us, and tearing us down!”

Wtf is this editing

“ If it’s all going to shit anyway, let it go to shit while I’m in his lap.”

Pls this is so cute

“Koen, no. You actually like being Alpha. You live to order people around.”
He holds back a smile. “Guess from now on, you’re going to have to be people.”

I love this

This book is indulgent as hell but im going thru shit rn and i love books like this to get me thru life

Three quarters of my way in and i dont even care that it’s an audiobook i love it so much

Um what? Mona isn’t open with Duncan or anyone else emotionally?

That is actually impossible. She is the messiest character ever, incredibly unlikable and I genuinely don’t get what Duncan sees in her.
Both of their siblings are nightmares too.

JESUS CHRIST i cannot stand Mona

Mona is annoying as hell.

“in the past few years, I’ve worked much harder than I thought myself capable of. And all along, I was thinking about you.”

This was me. And when I had thought I was nearly there, good enough for him to notice me, he brought a different girl home. 😬 i get marc a 100%

“I’m probably just stuck at some weird stage of my psychosexual development. I’ll grow out of it”

Marc’s personality is so much like mine with the restlessness and the “constantly being bored/good at everything you do”
This is how I think about all my weird crushes too haha and I collected photos of a particularly forbidden crush too 😭

Absolutely wild but i think all double digits/teens should read body magic because it has a healthier view of sex? Less peer pressure, more mutual pleasure?

Body magic is my favorite story so far :)

The amount of slut shaming in this book is off putting. Women that choose to sleep with men aren’t any inferior to women that refuse to. Especially in the tenth century where being in a man’s good graces was your only chance at safety

“If you want to atone for your guilt, Warrick, set me free. Relinquish claim to my child and let me go home.”

Girlie’s self respect gained this book another star

The contrast between modern narration and ye olde dialogue is a little jarring but so far so good.

“What of nurturing and love and proper guidance?”
He cocked a brow. “Think you I am incapable of supplying those things?”
“Aye. Beatrix is a fine example.”
That was a harsh blow, and one that struck true. His expression changed to that of a man in deepest pain.”

Damn my girl is spitting facts

“For the first time in his life, Warrick felt pride in one of his children, something he had not expected to know until he had a son”

Does this man know he has to parent his children if he wants them to grow up to be someone he can take pride in?

Mildred is so cheeky lol
She even suggested rowena enjoys gilbert because he is “handsome”
