This book is so longgg

Buckling up bc this is long but I’m enjoying the writing style

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

yearning and tension we are so back

We r so back

This book is freaking me out

I love whimsy!

This is so dreamy now THIS is good writing

Having to read this from the naive but brilliant heart of gold colonizer is getting on my nerves

so good. wow

Absolutely love this. Sciona is often infuriating, but I do appreciate the way this presents colonialism and technological advancement

I fear this book is too heavy handed with its message, with none of the character development

giggling and kicking my feet

enemies to lovers but it’s just mutual obsession bc they’re gay….we’re so back
