I'm so bored ...

This is the 4th book in this series to include a surprise pregnancy.... "Oh my gosh... Why am I so nauseous? Oops I missed my period ..."

**Yawn**

Am I supposed to like Alaska or not?

I cannot get behind this couple at all. I know I'm supposed to root for them but eww...

It's unfortunate that the male main character doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Like the dude is a cop and kind of an asshole dad. How are you going to make this work, friend? I know I'm supposed to be rooting for them to get back together but ... I DONT WANNA!!

This is the most egregious example of the miscommunication trope ever....

If your boyfriend sits idly by when his friend says " you're cute for a fat girl," kill him and the friend.

"Get on the fucking table, Sloane!"

Who knew 2 serial killers falling in love could be both funny and adorable?

CW: childhood sexual assault

I like that this story addresses the impact of childhood SA from a dudes perspective.

The best part of this series just might be Hermes.

Between calling Hades "Daddy Death" and slutting-up both Persephone and Hades to antagonize both of them, Hermes is a menace and I love it.

"And for a time, all was well. But no matter how much the gods wished for peace, they had given their children the one thing that Would never ensure it.
Free will."
🔥🔥

Since when is 32 "the staid older woman?"

Charlotte Lucas = Tessa, a Filipina astronomy student, and EJ and Jamie's friend, in a shitty relationship with Collin
Bingley = Lee Gregory, a wealthy transfer student, son of Hollywood producer
Darcy= Will, an actor taking a break from acting, Lee's best friend friend

Pride and Prejudice but make the Bennet family the women of Bennet House (a woman-only dorm) at Longbourne University!

Elizabeth= EJ, a black engineering major and Bennet House RA
Jane = Jamie, a newly out trans woman and EJs best friend

The angry reviewers are wrong. This is definitely a romance.

I dunno what it is about tough guys being putty in the hands of young children but it makes my knees weak every time.

Atlas: Learn to share!
Nox: No.

Lol Nox is the best.

Gabe and Atlas are the cutest. I love a bromance.

The MCs are definitely coded as having ADHD (Phoebe) and Autism(Grace) and I love it. Also I want to give Grace a long hug.

Rereading after roughly 20 years and I am so much less impressed than I was a teenager. Obviously, it's a fantasy world but the complete disregard for informed consent is jarring. Also, on top of being a rapist and a shitty Dom , The Prince is kind of insufferable.

"I could be about to come inside you and I would stop"

Swoon. Consent is sexy and I'm pathetic.

Alfie and Mabel are so fucking adorable 🥰

If you decide to do the audiobook, a character list will definitely be helpful. I found this one:

Natalie Naudus is a great narrator. I just realized that she narrates several of my fav audiobooks and most of them are queer.

I'm halfway through and it's already a 5 star book. I was hesitant because a war epic didn't seem like it would be my cup of tea. The writing is great and just the right amount of snarky. The prose smirks (if that makes sense).

Zhu is a gangsta!!
