Uh hi everyone! Back on gr I feel like it's been a while. Just rewrote my bio I think the last time I edited it was 2020 mid-lockdown and woahhh

um gr is glitching?? it's not allowing me to add read dates to my review or change it from to-read to read 😭😭

(still love it though)

um gr is glitching?? it's not allowing me to add read dates to my review or change it from to-read to read 😭😭

this is for literature class at school okay (not my pick yes the cover is scandalous and i have to walk around with it)

when did gr get such massive ads. I have half my screen covered in an ad for the Excalibur files and i'm pretty sure i'm not the target audience

reread coz lit student and i've got to study over the holidays 👍🏾👍🏾

yeah so I'm getting a bit bored of this rn. The first book was amazing. Second was also good... this is dragging:(

I'd forgotten how funny Mr & Mrs Bennet are

couldn't not reread

rereading this rn coz i read it the day before exams and i want to enjoy it without the ✨pre-exam stress✨

He’d winked at her last night after they’d
finalized details with the caterer and she’d had to chug an
entire glass of ice water to keep herself from dissolving.
If he’d winked at her a few weeks ago, she’d have probably
tossed the water in his face.


lolll def would have done the same. gotta love Lil

“Again, you didn’t have to jump in.”
“Chivalry, Lil. I’ve got it in spades.”

fsdfdsfsd idk whether to roll my eyes or swoon

And after the day he’d had today, a moment like that,
unburdened and wildly unexpected, was a gift. He’d needed a
reason to laugh, and watching Neil’s little sister go into fullon panic-and-hide mode had done the trick.
But then the woman had gone and fallen off his boat. In
the middle of a storm, no less.

lolll

"Stupid. This is so, so incredibly stupid.
Worse, it was reckless.
And if there was one thing Lilian Muir had never been a
day in her life, it was reckless."

bahaha on the first page n already finding Lil relatable

plus she also has short hair
and is a smart lawyer girlboss

love her

AHHH I'm soo grateful to Melissa Tagg for the opportunity to be last-minute added to the ARC team!!!

ok so debating whether or not to go back to an academic rivals to lovers phase again... one hand it'll push me to study (exams start friday ahhh!)... on another hand i really don't have time to read coz i have to study

decisions decisions

isn't this cover GORGEOUSSS?!?! I mean the town the book is set in is too so makes sense

wow 25 pages in and my heart is already breaking. signs of a good book and a good author buttt my heart 😭😭 ok so i fully knew what i was getting into but that's beside the point


the song "birthday cake" playing in my head on repeat

so much so for keeping my tbr closer to zero 😭😂

Still it's way better than what it was (500+)

I hand my ticket to Ms. H, who’s wearing a gray
suit, indifferent to the undersea theme. “Oh, Stella, you look lovely.”
“Congratulations, by the way.”
My heart jumps. “Thank you—for what?”
“Making salutatorian.”
I feel like she slapped me. “Wait, what?”
“Yes, I know the official announcement isn’t until tomorrow, but it was
just too big an honor not to tell you tonight. You worked so hard for this.”

felt

My cheeks hurt
from smiling by the end. But inside, I can’t help wondering how this is
going to play out. My fingers drum against the silky fabric covering my
thigh.
How will I know? When Wesley arrives, can I ask him what his grades
were? Would that be weird?

lol love them

“What about you, Stella?” Dahlia asks.
I try to hide my grin, because I don’t want to be a jerk. “I’m happy
with my scores.”
“Straight As?” she asks again.
“Straight As, and an A-minus in Public Speaking, because Hatley’s final
screwed everyone.”
Dahlia and Em simultaneously squeal, and I love that I have friends
who will be genuinely happy for me about this.

love friends like this

“Great work.” Wesley and I
pounce on our grades. Holding my breath, I rapidly flip through the sheets until I reach the end. Wesley hovers behind me, peering over my shoulder. “A-plus.”
Wesley throws his head back, running his hands through his hair.
“Thank God. I hate bio.”
“Good thing you had me.”
“Yes, what would I have done without you?” He holds up his hand. “We
did it, Stick.”
“We did it.” I high-five him.

then I do what I’ve never done before.
I picture a world where they don’t end up together. No fix-it-fic, just
real life. Jill would move on. She would continue working, captaining the
Revelry, and forget about the snarky sergeant who was once a prisoner on
her ship. That she would do.
I push Aaron2 out of my mind and whip out my assignment book. This
history chapter is not going to read itself.

awyi this is sad

He grins. “Or what?”
“Or—” My eyes dart to the maze exit, where Lint sits, innocently
watching us. “No way.”
Wesley catches on. “No way,” he bellows, “Lint finished the maze.”
“She did it!” I’m bouncing up and down on the balls of my feet.
Without thinking, I throw my arms around Wesley.
He wraps me in a hug, and in half a second, we both realize, and our
arms slink back to our sides.

lol they're like proud parents

You know those eye tests where the screen is blurry, and then they put
the glass over your eyes and suddenly ta-da? And maybe if
your eyes suck like mine, you think you were seeing a K when it’s really an
E and you’re shocked to discover otherwise? This is like that, only
I thought I was looking at a guy I could date, and it turns out
I’m actually looking at a piece of asparagus. And I hate asparagus.

FINALLY

“I mean, most girls don’t notice nice guys, you know? They like jerks
and jocks and stuff.”
"He takes my hand in his. “But you’re not like other girls, Stella.”

CRINGINGGGG

love how authors make the side love interest so unlikeable. literally gagging

"But none of that matters. Because after school, I get to hang out with
Kyle Nielsen. After AP History, two texts
are waiting on my screen.
'So, what were you thinking for today?
slice of pizza across the street? :)'
Oh my God, he’s so charming. Who else that isn’t my mom’s age
acc types out their emojis? So dorky and awkward and perfect."

eww her swooning over the guy who isn't the male MC... n HOW is he charming?!

“Okay, we need to talk strategy,” Brandon says.
I click my laser pistol to the charging station. “Dude, this is laser tag,
not the Hunger Games.”

again, love this friendship
