I am such a sucker for a shithead brother plot thread 3

A Light Swift Monstrous Sound: This feels like something I'd read for english class when being asked to look at details or something

i did not come into this book expecting to be so brutally called out

I have no idea how I got this ARC but I for one am very excited

oh no!

Ok I didn't see that one coming.

I think this book could have done well of being spread out over a timeline because instead it just feels very rushed

Oh wow that's so surprising I definitely haven't seen that coming from miles away. gasp

pitbull mention alone earns this book another star /j

ah yes i see nothing wrong with this plan. nothing. sure we can seduce someone competently this seems entirely in character and not out of left field

I am a sucker for a grumpy mentor I fear

Ok I like Harper 10% more now that I know she played softball

Ok I'm definitely more invested but this hatred of Cassius is really annoying

ok we've lost touch with real life problems but it is still fun so i'm still invested

two nits to pick:
- why are we using modern jokes and terms. stop.
- also you cannot hate him most in the world you have known him for less than a week

is that sapphicism i smell? perhaps not but I've got to have some way to entertain myself so I declare that it is. marcherie i see you

i have too many ARCs to read and not enough time 3

oh boy. another nickname. color me overjoyed

oh look a pretentious asshole i like him already

well that felt unnecessary

As far as nicknames go it's not. the worst possible

"She has a talent for loving anything her father hates—snakes, stars, stories. Most of all Claudia loves life..."

Ok heavy handed? Yes. But this is such a fun sentiment esp with the loving life part so I'll allow it

I'm just being picky I think but it really is leaning on telling rather than showing atm

also maybe it's just me but the fact that girlie is like "i'll steal money for books but not for books" is a bit ????

I am sorry but the prologue was almost interesting and then it had to be like

"He will be her mistake. She will be his revenge"

Which like yeah I get the sentiment but also let's chill for a second and also there has to be a better way to phrase that
