Why do like 75% of the secondary characters in this book have names straight from the 1970s?

Already enjoying this leaps and bounds more than Better Than the Movies

Oh, this is bad. This is so bad. Am I going to keep reading it, though? Of course.

The further along I get in this series the more I realize it's somehow the exact same as Shatter Me despite being completely different

This book is one useless conversation after another useless conversation followed by an interlude of Cyrus being horny

WE GET IT, TAHEREH. CYRUS IS HOT. HOW ABOUT WE GET TO THE PLOT, PLEASE?

This is one of those books where I'm very aware continually of how good a book it is, but I'm having absolutely no fun reading it

... well now I feel nauseous

"He wanted him in this excruciating all-over way that defied reason, like his body had rewired itself so that even the parts of him that weren't capable of want had learned to feel its ache. Like even his bones wanted Tristan. Even his blood wanted Tristan."

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

"You're mine. You're mine. You're so fucking mine."

I'M DYINGGGGGGG

"He stretched his arms over his head, wincing, and Tristan was reminded that no matter what state he found himself in--wounded, sleep-deprived, in danger of imminent death--he would never not be transfixed by the sight of Leo Merritt's shirt riding up to reveal the trail of hair disappearing into his waistband.

God help me, he thought, then, inconsolably: Not even God can help me."

OKAYYYYYYYY

... Leo you motherfucker what did you just do

"Maybe this was some sort of karmic payback for the he'd thought having a crush was nice. He was being punished for his hubris. This wasn't nice. This was torment."

Drama queen.

"What was the mortal peril of a magical hunt compared to the shape of Tristan's lips around words that Leo barely comprehended?" GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF MAN

I swear if Aziza ends up with a man named Dion I am going to kill someone

Is the plot of this good? Yes. Am I still mostly enjoying it for the tragic gays? Also yes.

Tristan and Leo are making me C R A Z Y

... okay now we're getting somewhere

I am enjoying this book so far but I also feel like I'm pretty deep for the plot to not really have started yet. Like, it's time to get going

"I suck my teeth" count: five

So far this is pretty much ... fine? I don't know, maybe my expectations were too high. It's still early, though, so I'm counting on this improving the rest of the way.

10 things that never happened, more like 10 things that nearly bored me to sleep

I'm actually kinda mad at how much this is disappointing me so far. Seriously, how can you make fake amnesia boring????

Shockingly not (????) hating this ???? definitely my favorite Ali Hazelwood book so far

This may be the first time I've loved the disaster mc more than the slightly stuffy love interest, but what can I say? Luc has my heart

Still not loving Zanders but he's growing on me 🫢

Everytime Oliver calls Luc Lucien I blush

This book is scratching an itch I've had since I read Red White and Royal Blue and I'm loving it

I do not like Zanders but alas, I am pushing through

Am I supposed to like Jasper Grimes?? Because I do not like Jasper Grimes
