Everyone in book club agreed that “Merry Christmas, You Flithy Animal” was not it. I was 5 chapters in and couldn’t continue reading anymore. It was so cringe with the narrator and the MMC’s POV. He’s literally 30 going on 13!

Another super slow read since I have the paperback version and I can only hold a physical book in my hands so often.

This is my super slow read since I watched the tv series, I already know what happens. I’m really just reading to get all the details that aren’t explained in the show, especially Alina’s POV.

Only got to page 23 before the first book club meeting lol but the tea was hot! So much fun. Anyways, gonna have to finish this later to read next month’s book. I now have 4 books that I’m currently reading plus Bible studies. Why did I do they to myself? Idk. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mal is so sweet! I love him more in the book than the tv series.

He fired the temu Kylie Jenner maid after she called Mila a whore. 🤭 He did some questionable things at first but I mean that is typical morally grey MMC behavior. He is forgiven and definitely fell for Mila before kidnapping her.

Uhhh some of this is a little too dark for me

Having my husband translate the Russian on every page lol.

How is Mika so ignorant she hasn’t put 2+2 together that Ronan is not a rich politician 😂 Girly he’s got tattoos on his knuckles and practically the whole city treating him like a king.

The isle people are literally crazy

Reading about Violet jealous of Cat brought out my emotions too. But now reading Xaden jealous of Halden!!! This is entertaining!

I paused right when Violet is gonna challenge Professor Xaden on the mat.

One chapter left

Finished everything on nutrition and now the remaining chapters will be able what to expect, exercise, postpartum etc.

Wow there’s so much info on just carbs, proteins, fats! I’m highlighting every paragraph at this point. But I learned more from here about a general well-balanced diet for all and the same changes to make while pregnant. This is literally the healthiest I’ve been in my life and I’ll just continue this “diet” as a lifestyle change. Very holistic.

The intro had me hooked already because I love studying nutrition, diets, exercise, lifestyle, etc. I should have started this earlier but 1st trimester nutrition isn’t as important as 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Plus, I already switched to a low-carb, keto diet and seen results within 2 weeks. This book is written from a scientific/factual approach on nutrient-rich Whole Foods versus “healthy” low calorie foods.
