“But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of the forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.”

Starting off right in the middle of the drama and I am living for this aspirational level of messiness

This is somehow more gut wrenching than before

The way this part STILL HITS even though I’ve already read the source material 😩

Why is George that one guy who is literally too dumb to exist but somehow makes a great deal of sense??

The gasp I just gosped 🫢

Loving this in audiobook

George is so toxic but absolutely hysterical 😂

“It’s not that I expect you to be captured by any more pirates, but one never knows.”

I’d love to have the honor of pulling Cecily’s hair out, strand by strand!!

I have never laughed this much in my life

So far such a well executed slow burn

Danielle does this thing where I think the book is about to end like 47 times before it actually does and instead she just pulls out a series of jump scares which is both impressive and exhausting at the same time.

THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT

I think it’s a testament to Julie’s writing that I KNEW what the twist was about to be and I still screamed.

The most absolutely shocking turn of events and then a flashback?? Julie, I beg. This is diabolical, truly.

“People who love you for your usefulness, don’t love you at all.”

“Anger is a fine weapon, diviner, so long as you don’t point it at yourself.”
Oof. That’ll preach.

“Violence is a craft, so is compassion.”

This was a maneuver worthy of Aelin Ashryver Galathynius 💯

Bookmarking here because this quote is too sweet to forget and I do not dog ear pages even if the temptation is strong

Oh wow how did I not see this coming?!!
