Have your weird sex things, your drug addictions, your nightly black-outs from alcohol, your absence of care for anything meaningful, whatever... that's not my problem here. What disgusts me is the acceptance of this as normality from all the readers. Its like reading disgustingly toxic feminism, and realising that everyone agrees. Can you just have some values that you didn't inherit from social media, please?

It’s giving Tomorrow x 3. Nothing is sacred anymore, and I bleurgh. Yucky yuck. All day long I try to defend the brightness and positivity and kindness and purity and respect in the world that none of my friends believe in, and then this book goes and undoes it all. Why everyone gotta be so foul? Why is nothing sacred anymore? 😔 Why is this trash the sort of stuff that gets popular? Gr

This is disgusting and foul, and the writing style is talentless, but I’ve missed reading so much that my care factor is minimal. I would read grocery lists at this point 🤷‍♀️

My mum and I randomly watched this film one night and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. So far, amazingly good 😳 (comparative contender?)

If you saw this… no you didn’t 😶‍🌫️

This book always leaves me feeling awful. It’s very life-like, and nostalgic, and does trippy stuff with time and perspective but… yuck. Idk what specifically yet, but yuck.

So I just binged this in five hours on the beach and its everything? The Kelly Clarkson title. The focus on friendship. The ‘I meet people without trying,’ the American teen ‘everyone lives in the same suburb and has their licence and is home for the summer’, the LIST. I made a list of things I wanted to this summer and have just about checked it off (anyone wanna take me biscuiting?) AND AO DOES THIS BOOK

I never realised how many chapters are Anne nattering on about things to Marilla and the chapter ending with Marilla basically just telling Anne to shut up 😂 ah, ever the sympathetic listener she is.

Also I will never finish this book bc there’s not enough Bluesy fanfiction out there to stop me from spiralling into the state of nothingness that occurs after finishing such a beloved series. Soooo farewell 2025 reading challenge ig

This book is charging towards an end and leaving me behind. Blue is a tree now?

Inloveinloveinloveinlove

Ofc ganseys a swimmer 🥴

Ofc Ronan calls him dad

Ofc Blue got suspended for angry feminism

Not the Elders cap 😭

I had no book, so I walked to the library, I borrowed a book, I walked home, and now I have book! Ah the miracle of legs…

Also. This series is so indulgent I want to eat it. But I won’t because- 💁‍♀️ library germs 🦠

Australian fairytale - i needed something obscure and esoteric

'But look at the acacia, a series of pathetic little bushes.' 👀

A recommendation from Clarice, the whimsical senorita who thinks my name is Baby and gives me book recommendations every time I sit at her kitchen bench. 🫘

Started getting bored and skimming and THEN BAM! THE SISTER IS ACTUALLY THE *MOTHER*?! Barnsey strikes again ☠️

YES! It's giving Raven Boys dialogue, which is about all I need to enjoy a book. Also? Characters are charactering. At once, great, but also sucky because it draws attention to the fact that all my characters are the same person (except Addy bb)

The author went IM GONNA BE DIFFERENT with the characters. But so did everyone else, so now the whole badass princess and man-eating siren thing is just annoying me. WHY CANT ANYONE BE LOVELY ANYMORE?

the rest is très bien tho 👌

parfait

‘When she gets third, at least she’s happy to have placed. But second. That’s too close to first. Second hurts.’

ofc the one time a girl at dance asks me what I’m reading and I have the opportunity to show that Im actually a cool gal Im reading THIS JUNK FOOD. Sigh, but no one can say these aren’t the most bingeable books ever… 🫢

AHMAHGAH well if this isn't seven billion times better than I thought it would be! The 100 x Uglies x ASOUE x Wilder Girls x The Handmaid's Tale x Outlander x Wild Beauty x Tristan and Isolde x Stepford Wives 🤩

well now that's just disgusting 😖

*groans as I lower myself into the chair* *puts on contrarian glasses* *opens book* alrighty. i'm ready.

'...Puritan ideals-'

*gags* *closes book* *evacuates* nope, nope i am not.

yeah probs not the book to be reaidng alongside the handmaid's tale, but hey - if wer're doing the angry-feminism route, we're really going to do it. Get ready for a Review.
