i feel like ive read so many (holly jackson) mysteries that i can guess who did it but at the same time im suspicious of about 10 other people and im scared to see how rhis plays out

ahhhhhh i havent enjoyed a book this much in so long and it makes me yearn to write my own fantasy book but i dont think my writing would ever be able to compare with how amazing this book is im loving it sooo muchhh

ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh i have not had such a visceral reaction like this to a book in so long and im not even 20 pages in but how did i not know this was a little mermaid retelling and literally down to a T too like its his birthday and he has a dog and its all so perfect i love old disney im inlove with this book

how is he down bad from the literal first sentence

wish me luck

823 pages.

i’m determined to finish it today

i have never gotten worse second hand embarrassment than when his mum started talking to him about safe s3x for five pages straight PLEASE STOP TELLING ME ALL THE DETAILS

getting closer to the end, slowly but surely (i’m not going into september still reading this book i have to finish it before the end of the month)

FINALLY AT PAGE 400. wait how’s it been already 400 pages tho it feels like 200 idk

alright so the words “i’m not like other girls” actually came out her mouth and he called her “my dinner” this is not appropriate behaviour

it’s so sad she has to live with that kind of dad (and that some people actually have to) but i absolutely love joey for helping her and just being joey

stop talking about your “parts” please and thank you, johnny

why’d he bring up his dick at least 20 separate times in one chapter (and why is she how old eeva would be in a years time)

does chloe walsh know that a quid and a tenner are both pounds and not euros becuase it’s really throwing me off

lwk lemma lock in and binge this

she just said “i’m not like other girls” in 20 different ways and all in the span of 5 pages

“she retired last year” literal chills. also why am i flying thru this book (at least for me this is fast becuase in total i’ve been reading this book for probably an hour and a half and im already almost done)

“i was always nervous that if i shared the unkind words people threw at me, then that was all they’d associate with me. that they’re begin to notice that my skin WAS too blemished…”
i fear i relate to that on another level

“it was as if the moon followed him everywhere he went simply because he was more beautiful than the sun”

why is this so physical, i’m so uncomfortable rn

“you’re a guy with a penis” … u thought we established that by calling him a guy 😔 (i’m probably not convincing you to read this based off of these out of pocket quotes but it’s SO GOOD

“the best way to get over someone… is to get under someone else” ………. well said rimi
