This book has a way of inexplicably creeping up on you. Incredible. Chills as I read this

holy shit this is brutal

Upon reread this continues to be a banger

Words cannot express how much I loathe this book

Despising how this book is portraying Africa and destroying its ecology as a necessarily evil for “the good of humanity” okay and when this doesn’t work out what then

Writing is devoid of any flourish

Reader, I have a deep sense of foreboding

Waiittt this is turning around

literally nothing happens

Being bored to death

Well I guess

yay it only took me an hour this time to read 4 pages

reading this with my parents on the phone

Finally getting somewhere besides Taiwanese food

More like Taiwan food log my god this lady can’t go two seconds without a food description

I love this book but we are spending way way way too much on the sisters’ B plot relationship?? And not the romance??? And not even on the OTHER sister??

This is bad! But I do love a romance with an obsessed male lead

There is something so deeply uninspiring about Ali Hazelwood’s female protagonists. Maybe, despite them being nuclear physicists or chemistry geniuses or hot sexy Stanford athlete - you guessed it, geniuses, they still present as deeply insecure, constantly comparing themselves to other women, and chasing after these stupid men. Oh my God why do I keep coming back Ms. Ali?

Gonna mark page 699 on my kobo as when I started outright crying

I feel like I say this with every good book but this is genuinely one of the best things I have ever read

good lord this is gonna break my heart

You know when you start a book and you just know it’s going to be life altering? Yeah
