Stephen King coming in with the inappropriate attraction between a grown-ass man and a minor…! Ugggh.

I want it on record that there’s a reason I’ve attempted to read this two other times and can never bring myself to finish it. This book DRAAAAAGS…

Stop, why is Grace reminding me of Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place 🤣💛

Can we send Barbara to the moon? 🙄

I’m sorry, do I detect a…demisexual sighting? On page?! Eeeeeee! 💜

Excuse me while I ugly cry 🥲 WHYYY. Oh, this is going to hurt, isn’t it? I can already feel it…

I’m giving her another shot… Bonus points for the love interest being a veterinarian 🥹

It feels homophobic that I’ve already DNF’d 2 queer books since Pride Month and now want to DNF another. But I’m sooo bored by this! 😩

I decided to read this out of curiosity. And oh…oh, I’m not even halfway through and I feel a rant review brewing in my chest.

“If we take away someone’s opportunity to learn something new, in whatever way they learn it, then we aren’t on the right side of history. If we shame someone for asking a question, for genuinely wanting to learn about a different culture, then eventually they will stop asking questions altogether—and that is a really dangerous thing.” 👏🏼

I didn’t even know this book existed 😂 Well…here goes nothing!

I love when we get a chapter of Wendell narrating 😭❤️

GO ORGA 🥹🙌🏼

I LOVE THEM 😭❤️

“It’s you that I love, and neither time nor horror can change that.” This book’s going to destroy me, isn’t it? 😭

I took a little bit of a break… BUT WE’RE BACK, BABY. I only have three books left in this series, and I’m determined to finish what I started.

Why does the audiobook narrator for this have the same inflections as Christopher Walken? 🤣

“Absent a nuclear war or global pandemic, you are in a more privileged position than any generation in history.” *cries in 2025* 🥲

Guys, I don’t know what to do. I’m so bored by this…

There is a very specific way that I need this to end for it to be a masterpiece…but I really have a feeling it won’t, and that bums me out.

OK, I love Nadia. 🤣

Ew, why is this teacher giving me Mr. Jefferson vibes from Life is Strange 🤢

NOOOOOO..!

AHhhHHHhH..! 🥲

I’m not so much giggling and kicking my feet while reading this so much as…laughing uncomfortably at the sibling-sibling love triangle 🫠

Nearly 10 years later, I’m finally getting around to reading this!

The master looked down at me with his kind eyes. “Never really had a good cry before, have you? You know, when things feel tough or frustrating, crying can do you a world of good. Water washes everything away.” 🥺💛

AHH, ACE REP!!! 💜🙌🏼

“Are you the gay Lacey Chabert?” STOP, this book is perfection 🤣
