Well, a sentient spaceship just made me cry

Omar El Akkad reading democrats for filth... i'm almost jumping up and screaming EXACTLY at every phrase in this book

'And at every moment of arrival, the details and the body count may differ but in the marrow, there's always a commonality. An ambitious, upright, pragmatic voice saying: just for a moment, for the greater good, cease to believe that this particular group of people, for who's experience we are already so safely distanced, are human.'

'When next this happens, and it will happen, again and again, because the people remain under occupation and because the relative compeling powers of both revenge and consequence work beyond recognition, once one has been made to bury their child. The same framing can always be used: the barbarians instigate and the civilized are forced to respond.'

I hate this maaaaan, i hate being in his head. I hope i see him dying

I'm bored

WTFFFFFF

This is making me sad and angry already. The perfect makings of a horror novel.

HATED the scene Katherine talks to the guy that killed her wife. I was already against them pushing her to do it and tge scene was even worse. I also just don't care what happene in the rest of the book. With so much happening, it's amazing how bored i am. DNF'ing

I can smell a straight relationship coming and i just do not want to deal with that 😔

I KNEW THAT BITCH WAS A SNAKE

Stefano, i will drag you through asphalt.

'The woman’s body language suggested a lack of desire to really commit' that's an insane thing to write

I was so excited for this but I've read 40% already and i feel like nothing has happened.

There were 2 hours left on the audiobook to listen to today, i've been crying for 2 hours

oh, this slaps so hard already

Ok, that's enough for today. I am emotionally wrecked 😭

I hate aleksander so much. Please let this be the only time he shows up.

DNF. The way this book has brown women fawning over a white woman because 'she is so pretty and her blonde hair and white skin and green eyes are so pretty and special ' is so fucking gross.

Also, i don't think people on goodreads understand what consent is.

I'm on the fence with this. The phrase 'Your power is yours to give. I can only take it if you offer it to me willingly' is great but also kind of undercut by the fact that she's her boss. I just don't believe full consent exists in that case.

And once again, a nanny/boss relationship that doesn't fully give the power imbalance the importance it should. I really should learn my lesson and stop readind these.

Im so excited!!!

DNF'ing at 54% - this book is making me feel like i'm crazy... or stuck in a parallel universe where it's completely normal and accepted to have relations with your employees. The power dynamics have not once been discussed and the only character who was oposed to it (a little bit) is treated like she's insane for not wanting share personal details of her life with her nanny. I can't with this anymore.

Ok, so this book is annoying me in a way. Only one peson is sensible enough to know employer-employee relationships are not a great idea but then she seems to be angry at the employee?? The inherent power imbalance of an employer having sex with their nanny is completely glossed over so far.

The way this is better than the original. Haley Cass, you genius.

gonna have to stop for a while to get emotionally ready to read about Charlotte spending time with Sutton's annoying ass mother

Oh thank god, Regan and Emma are together!!

The audiobook came out so i guess i'm gonna have to reread it

Leaving 2 kids to semeone who doesnt want kids is insane

Hanna is annoying af lmao

Fuck her dad for real
