I love how Bardugo balances characters. Her "villains" have life and humanity to them, despite their role in the story.

The abstractness of everything really reminds me of Alice

Reading about how common and normalised loss once was is heartfenching and terrifying. Makes me grateful for how we've progressed.

One thing I love about Halls' writing is the way she portrays relationships. The bonds between characters, even those who aren't close, often feel so supportive and it's warming.

My biggest reflection from this book:

Life is not long enough to isolate yourself as punishment or as coping. Be around those you love, accept their support, laugh with them and grieve with them. Experience life with those you want to and don't waste a second being silly about it.

Realistic portrayal of ye average man 🙄 ugh

What an unexpected event 🤔

They're giving Lizzie x Darcy and I LOVE IT

I love the representation of safe, unassuming love. I feel when there's a character who starts off with a different partner to the one planned for them if any at all are, the writer always makes it seem as though the Original partner is nothing to them. It feels harsh and pointless. Not Griffin thought she's represented love as love even if it's not the main love throughout the book!!

Oh my god that's the most powerful prologue I've ever read
