thank god I’m done with this

dnf @ 40%. Convoluted plot, zero chemistry. I’m tired.

This is so incredibly illustrated, and such a strange, yet bizarrely delightful adventure?

Utterly miserable, which was to be expected - but compounded by the fact that there could’ve been a flashing neon sign detailing exactly what was to come, and everyone still would’ve turned a blind eye.

I’m about to require a three month grieving period

Back at it again, biting off the smallest chunks I can bear to because it really is a good memoir, as well as valuable and affirming in a way that I need. It’s just.. a lot.. at the same time.

I don’t really know what makes a good book.. technically.. good.. but when I am re-reading a book for the fourth time and at 40% am already pre-devastated for it to end? That’s a good book.

I just really need this, okay? I deserve this

A deal is a deal 🤡

Started off strong, seems to have shit the bed now. I’m not sure what the hell is going on and I’m being absolutely bombarded with so much info in so little time that it feels like this book should’ve been a series 🥴 also I hate every character so much

Too close to home for the time being 🤒

Apprehensive because I hate this fuck stain, but liking the vibes of dispelling any of the folklore about him being some sort of charming, handsome man instead of the psychopathic, dumb ass, waste of space bumbling fool that he was.

having to really suspend my disbelief with these sapphic novels of late 🙄

hahahahahahahaha holy shit

every single one of these characters is deeply unlikable and I love it

what the fuck

I mean.. it’s fine.. but honestly, it’s written as though every side character/resident of this small town share custody of one solitary brain cell

it’s almost time for my annual re-read of fingersmith/the paying guests/tipping the velvet/every other sarah waters book and tbh even the mere thought has my heart racing

Oof, having worked in a school like this one, I am feeling very uncomfortable because.. uhhh, yes. A mirror.
I will say, though.. us gays do really do have a way of finding each other, especially in adverse environments 🤝

Jillian is a nightmare in a skin suit and I have a headache

yeah, so I’m fine with dual POVs but this!! fucking!!! book!!!! is switching between MCs mid paragraph!!! I genuinely thought my reading comprehension had shit the bed? also, the goodreads rating system is useless and yet I keep relying on it for recommendations so I’m the biggest loser of them all 🤠

I’m only still reading this for two reasons:

• to be a hater
• because I can’t find anything else to read

One MC is a catfish who acts like she had no choice but to pretend to be a man (and continues to justify this shitty ass decision and every subsequent lie because the connection was sooo strong)

The other MOVES TO A NEW STATE FOR ‘HIM’ AFTER LIKE TWO WEEKS WITHOUT ‘HIS’ KNOWLEDGE??

I’m.. gonna mark this one as dnf because I need to pretend it never happened just so I can move on with my life

I’ve fallen asleep approximately 26 times so far while reading this book

I don’t want to finish this series 😭
