We love quick chapters

Re-read of my mama’s book, this time on audio! 🥰

Nothing like a ball scene to finally get me into this

This writing & these characters are feeling a bit too juvenile for my taste

I’m don’t really care for the flashback chapters, it feels like the present day timeline is moving at a glacial pace

Struggling to get into this but it’s probably bc I’m read The Jasad Crown at the same time

This has been brilliant, but I am NERVOUS for how this will wrap up

I didn’t really connect with Sylvia in the first book, but I’m loving her ruthlessness in this one

This is SO good

Pleasantly surprised with how much I remember from book 1, I was nervous about not rereading

Final read of 2025, let’s go!

Praying we skip the third act breakup tonight in this one

I’m becoming such a big Tara Dewitt fan

I’m truly a simple woman, I love fake dating EVERY. DAMN. TIME. The dumbest/best trope 😂

Her parents are so cruel

This is fine, reading a bit young, but also Nicholas Sparks was my favorite author in high school so idk

Enjoying this, but why are the chapters so damn long??

I’m very nervous for a bananas third act breakup because this has been so perfect so far & im befuddled by the low Goodreads rating

Loving this so far

“Art —and all stories are art, even the ones about real people— is about what it does to you.
The true hero is the one in your mind, the representation of an ideal that makes you a better person. The individual who inspiredit, well, they're like the book on the table or the art on the wall. A vessel. A syringe full of transformational aspiration.”

Wow, love this

Poor Yumi 🥺🥺😭
