idk what it is, but i’m *really* struggling to get into the book

i’m really enjoying leilani’s writing so far!

smh @ waldo’s mom….

“my body‘s instincts are loud. and they’re right. and they’re appropriate and reasonable and they’re not a nuisance. they are wise. they are giving me all the information i need.”

YES WALDO!!! we used to pray for times like this!!! blessings are shining down on us!!!! 😭😭😭

tbh i’m more invested in waldo’s mom’s story than i am waldo’s…..

chapter 70 thoughts:

1. disgusting
2. she’s waking up

not waldo’s mom getting her life together while waldo’s is lowkey falling apart. oh, how the tables have turned….

“you saw that i was hurting, but you pretended you didn’t because that would have made your life more difficult. because then you would’ve had to actually do something about it.” 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾

chapter 66. that’s it, that’s all.

so we’ve finally reached the female rage portion of the novel, which i love, but there’s less than 70 pages left so i’m curious to see how it’ll manifest and if it’ll lead to a satisfying ending

waldo’s refusal to call this man anything other than mr. korgy is taking me out. i’m kinda obsessed with jm for that

“if he’s able to manipulate his own emotions so well, what might he be able to do with mine?” YOU’RE GETTING WARMER, DIVA

annnnddddd we get the first, “you’re so mature” of the book. couldn’t help but give a hard eye roll. run, waldo, run!!!

this book is sick, yet i can’t put it down

decided i wanted to feel sexy again, so i’m back in my reading bag 🙂‍↕️🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾

being so honest, i’m reading this book bc hudson williams apparently loves it. and i love hudson williams, so here we are 😅

dnf @ p. 28 (3/1)

i’ve already read one book about a shitty mother this year. i can do without another for a while 😅

shane has every right to go scorched earth on allllllll of them!!!

the voyageurs need to piss off

chapters 10 and 11 are *chef’s kiss*

shane and ilya are breaking my heart! i’m going through it rn 😭😭😭

*post book club mtng reflection*

i stand corrected on the sex scenes! i think we’re def seeing ilya use sex as a means of escape/temporary happiness, while shane uses it as a way to (in some cases!) replace the intimacy that comes with having tough/necessary convos. they want to feel close to each other — and they aren’t in many ways — so sex is the way they try to achieve that

shari’s writing is beautiful

chapter 20……………
all i can say is yum 🙂‍↕️🤤
