'I just think in life, we never really feel like we're making big decisions until later, when we look back and realize, 'Oh, that was the decision that changed everything.' Do you feel like you chose me?'

'Of course I did. I mean, I walked right up to you.'

'That's the thing,' she said, her voice sad. 'YOU walked up to ME.'

why is this book personally attacking me rn

"... who, until now, had been as courteous, respectful, and loving as I'd wish a boyfriend to be - this man was bellowing in a fury of wounded propriety, without the least provocation... and the tense little smile that lingered on my face seemed to fire up his eyes with a wild gleam, like you see in some dogs before they attack."

oh this is gonna be a banger huh

guess I’ve just been in the mood for young asian women going insane with female rage lately 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Our confederacy chiefs council inspired the structure of American democracy. our Great Law inspired the American Constitution.”

Only just started this and can already tell this should be required reading. I’m learning SO MUCH and it’s all SO HEARTBREAKING.

NOOOO THERE AIN’T NO WAYYY. I am taken ABACK 😩

ugh I love when books shine a light on childhood trauma caused by mothers… mommy
issues exist too 👏🏼

dayummm THIS is how you do slow burn 💅🏻

also, how depressing that the final sign of complete wealth in America is being able to afford health insurance.

OH MY GOD ??? I’M BLUSHING

ugh, I think I’m gonna dnf :(
I’ve seen/read this trauma and story enough times, I just feel like I don’t need to read it again. but I can see why people might like the book and it’s definitely been impactful so far

*Mariah Carey voice* it’s TIIIIIMEEE

Stuff getting exciting in the last part of the audiobook and I hear the dreaded “Hey, you’re out of audiobook listening hours, you can top up blah blah blah.” And you can only top up in 10 hr minimum increments. GTFO SPOTIFY. DUMBEST SYSTEM!

So far I’m liking the FMCs non-romantic relationships in this book more than the romantic one. There’s something so beautiful about her being grateful and loving her mother over and over again, in every life.

this is unhinged. I can tell this book is actually gonna scare me. HELL YEAH

“He won’t touch you again.”
“But you’ll get in trouble.”
“But he won’t. Touch. You. Again.”

I LOVE THESE BOYS ALREADY OML

My Libby hold came through early so I gotta bump this up 💅🏻

“Call me ‘whore’ instead” EXCUSE ME THESE SPICE SCENES DIDN’T COME TO PLAY

I’m so sad I’m not liking this more. But this has felt like a slog so far. The prose is Barney-level purple my friends. ☠️

“I didn’t know… I didn’t.”
“You think that matters?”
“It matters to me!”
“You think you matter?”

“She wondered why a part of her was trying to find value in degradation.”

dnf-ing for now. Not cuz it’s bad. It’s just too tame, I need something angrier atm 😀

Very important thoughts so far: (1) is rainbow dragon man going to be male love interest? (2) can I get behind rainbow dragon man as male love interest? 🤔

I’M SCREAMINGGGG

she’s wearing the PANTS (literally and figuratively)
I can get behind this tension rn ;)

“She asks herself what she’s done to deserve this. The answer is nothing.”
BARS 🗣️

are these adults? why can’t they TALK TO EACH OTHER ???

this dude is OBSESSED with her 💅🏻

don’t mind me smiling like a fool over here THAT WAS SO CUTE

Book 1 down… I’m finding I like the serial killer plot a lot more than the romance 🙈

“I can respect a man that loves his nudies more than his life” LMAOOO (yes he means nudes)

ok why am I having so much fun reading this tho? loving how creative and unhinged the tower is 🤩
