Kindly avert your eyes as I read this for the third time this year instead of working on my TBR, ✨ I'm just a girl ✨

As long as I keep rereading my favorite books instead of picking up new ones, the book slump won't be able to catch me 😌👌🫡

Five percent into this book and already lowkey hating myself for letting this sit on my kindle for AGES why did no one force me to read this sooner?! 🥺🥺

this book is ruining me how am I ever supposed to pick up another traditionally published romance again and not have SKY-HIGH EXPECTATIONS

am I currently reading 9 books? Yes.
am I going to abandon them all because I got an ARC of my most anticipated read of 2023? also yes.

this is pitched as fifty shades meets neon gods but honestly so far it's more a court of thorns and roses meets neon gods and I can already see booktok salivating over this once it's out *chef's kiss*

took three books but I finally get the Mason Deaver hype

I'm going to sue all of my friends who didn't force me into reading this sooner and instead let this gather dust on my shelves how DARE THEY I've already laughed and cried multiple times this book is everything

the way I'm losing my shit listening to the audio for the first time as if I don't know what happens after a dozen rereads lol

Am I currently reading 12 books simultaneously? Yes.
Am I also going to abandon all of them in favor of this one? HELL YES

Self-care is rereading Onley James' books on a loop

if you listen closely enough, you can hear my TBR weeping because I once again am rereading books instead of all of the ARCs I'm supposed to review - I blame Onley James

will I ever read a traditionally published book again? Odds do not look good

what do you mean I've been reading this for a MONTH?!

Whoo boy other reviewers weren't kidding about the blatant cheating in this one were they

*isn't invested in book*
*forces self to like book more*
*gets annoyed with book AND self*
*ends up letting book lie untouched on nightstand for two weeks*
*opens book*
*still bored*
repeat until death or the end of the book.

If I have to read this entire book for my dissertation I might as well add it to my goodreads challenge \_(ツ)_/

this is the Persephone/Hades retelling of my dreams

*clutches heart* I LOVE THIS

How dare everyone on my timeline give this five stars and tease me into abandoning my entire current reads just for shits and giggles. the audacity. also five-hundred percent agree THIS IS A FUCKING GOOD TIME.

Demi love interest/protagonist? Never thought I'd find myself represented in hockey romance BUT HERE WE ARE AND I AM LIVING

Okay this is already addictive 🙌🏼

"My mind struggles to bridge the gap between the two ideologies. I'm fat, and I celebrate other fat people, but I don't quite celebrate me. It makes me feel like a fraud."

Brb, gonna cry about the accuracy of this.

I know that everyone who will love Casey McQuiston's upcoming book is going to DEVOUR this one

not me laughing at the fact that I have the same issue with the insta-love in this book as I had in the author's debut.
Like.
Seriously.
They haven't spent more than five minutes in each other's company and you want me to believe there are actual feelings the protag cries about!?
Dude. British accents are hot but not that hot.

there she goes again, rereading this for her dissertation because she can't take notes that will make sense for longer than a month at a time apparently...
