Also is homegirl Black or not?

This has been 23 percent of the same exact conversation:

Him: something about him only talking to her

Her: Smooth

Him: you're too pretty to be crying

Her: Actually my emotionally abusive ex boyfriend says I'm worthless and I must be such a bad person for liking your compliments that I don't believe and I'm so stupid for staying with him for 5 years but also I just wanted him to want me.

Get a grip!

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DIRECTION THAT THIS IS GOING IN

Really nice but checked out after the big conflict. Idk I think it's kind of crazy that despite the hero being one of the most cinnamon rolliest heroes to ever exist who does literally anything to make the heroine feel loved, said heroine still breaks up with the hero after finding out that he's liked her for real this entire time because people on the internet think being fat means she doesn't deserve to be with him

I'm not supposed to be this confused in a contemporary rom🤨

Dnf at 1/3 way through. It's good I think but I'm not in the headspace for mostly plot with a tiny bit of romance and that's what this is shaping up to be. Might revisit later.

Why am I being hit with internalized misogyny on page 8?? Can we calm down on the slutshaming please?

This is such a cute story but there are so many Harry Potter references and no trans characters that I can rmr and I don't know if I'm making too big a deal of that

The first thing they bond over is loving Harry Potter?? In 2023??

Also the heroine is a little upsetting but I can't figure out why so I'm still reading I guess

Im going to DNF this one which sucks because I know I like it. Unfortunately, I also remember a certain plot twist that I hated for some reason and I can't get into the book as a result. Shelving this one for the next couple of years.

Dnf

You know when FMCs are written to be strong and sassy but end up coming across as a bully? Why is this girl mad at this guy who's never met her for *checks notes* driving safely and having a man bun?? Anyways...

Listen. Tiktok made me do it.

DNF. I was really trying to finish it but then I had a midterm and I realized I'm not getting paid to read this so why am I forcing it yk? Anyways I'm not giving it a final rating so.

I've read this already lmao and didn't like the voice of the FMC. Whoops

I've read 5 books since yesterday morning and this one is hands down my favorite

Okay, good cause I was getting confused. I didn't actually read the synopsis, I just knew this was Sapphic and jumped at it. All that to say, I might have mixed up who the LI is. Hold please while I figure out what's going on

We stan a sexually promiscuous woman mc! Finally!

Delilah and Astrid are step sisters? And I'm sensing a bit of hostility. Colour me intrigued.

1. This Man has my heart, sadly.
2. Very much appreciating the conference being in Jamaica

His mom is okay with him being In a polyam relationship and that support is healing my soul. Could never be my mother😭😭

I have had 2 nightmares in the span of 6 hours I just need some serotonin

Listen, I don't have any excuses. All I'm saying is Paxton pulled a gun out of his drawer and put his knife in his boot sheath and my first thought was "ooh that's hooot" This isn't an excuse it's just what I'm working with

It's kind of crazy how we're almost halfway through and we still don't know his name💀

Okay. I was going to laugh but There's nothing wrong with short men. Nothing at all. Except when the personality that Chris does💀

Okaaaayy? I like the narration voice but I'm not getting strong female lead?? Her soon to be ex hopefully, cheated on her and doesn't agree with women swearing?? And she's making excuses for him. Like I could get behind the cheating because eventually she'll realize that was wrong, but him not agreeing with women swearing?? Honey cmon now.
Also what does "camp like a row of tents" even mean?

Is it just me or is this kind of creepy? That is not your daughter, why are you talking about your husband's dick with her?

Okay I got that out of my system and I'm ready to view this from a ironic hilarity viewpoint.

Okay slut shaming on the first page, we're not off to a great start.

Why yes I do have very important exams starting Wednesday that I'm probably not ready for.

It quickly shaped up to be a 5 star read. Something about Brazilian tias talking about pronouns heals something in my -raised in an extremely homophobic country- inner child. I will say I'm not stoked about the undertones about aromantic people in the beginning, but I'm not aro myself, so that could be me being picky about wording and needing to work on myself.

Okay so I'm going into this with low expectations in terms of diversity and inclusion because it was made in 2010. Also shifter romances are often those with alpha heroes and I think I might be growing out of those in the current climate that were in. I'm not sure but it's a possibility so. I will say that I do like the narration style in the 1 page I've read so far.
