i cannot binge read. i adore this book. i am so tired.

oh how i adore this book!!!! it’s so lovely in so many ways i just adore it. debating binge reading it all tonight, we’ll see when i fall asleep!

“we are all apart of the same story, baz, each of us different chapters. we may not have the power to choose setting or plot, but we can choose what kind of character we want to be” (291-292)

another quote i got word counted out of

“greatness has never been an aspiration of mine, but even so, who didn’t want to leave a mark? something that said, ‘i was fucking here. remember me.’” (144)

had to write down some quotes

“i’m afraid of being so many selves, I’ll never be myself”
(208)

“and when the kids needed someone most, someone to love and trust, they found one another, and they called themselves the Kids of Appetite, and they lives and they laughed and they saw that it was good” (156)

needed a hit of TY whimsy
using it as a reward for getting mba stuff done
his writing reminds me of finegan kruckemeyer !!!!!!!!!

actually yeah idc abt the diabetic inaccuracies. jack smith turner the MAN YOU ARE ‼️‼️‼️

ali hazelwood never spoke to a t1d before writing this and it shows 💔💔💔 it’s glucose not glycemic

audio books make me feel all powerful and unstoppable (no reading headaches)

i’m on an all time audio book bender rn

had a crazy audio book session at the gym. gasped, cried, all the things. it’s getting goooooood

kept reading on the plane and the plane kept getting delayed until a migraine overtook me and i was forced to stop

starting this on audio book at work has been very confusing

please stop the pda i’m begging u im so stressed

484 PAGES LETS GOOOOOOO

same place i was but ran out of room.
- of course i cried at another “nathaniel” to “neil” switch
- jeremy knox i am intrigued by you!!!!
- every new thing i learn about riko is just beyond belief
- jean!!!! is so wonderfully complicated his story is gonna make me cry
- i feel like “queens court” will be about andrew neil kevin jean (jeremy?) on the US court and hey ill SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don’t know why i was surprised because of COURSE nora isn’t going to gloss over the end of the kings men, but i thought this would pick up in the fall with jean already at USC because we (as the readers) know how the spring goes down. of course my character driven queen isn’t going to do that. of course we pick up as soon as jean is rescued!!! and yikes. it’s so good but so much. jean :(

SPLIT POV LFGGGGG

one thing about me? all i want to do is read not great YA books about modern greek gods. i’m just a girl.

taking a pause on this bc i am in a book slump post finishing the Naturals series so i need to chase my YA thriller cravings and hopefully will come back to this when i can appreciate it fully

took a break from this bc i realized i’m in a small book slump since finishing the Naturals so i need to chase that high before i go back to this so i can fully appreciate it
