not sure what I was expecting with this one lol

rough start.. had to restart 3x because I was losing interest. still have hope tho!!!! come on sarah

only four chapters in but holy frick I love this book

3.5

this is certainly a strange book

if Trumpy-poo is going to ban this book it’s not going to be before this girl reads it 🤞🏽

… I fell for the propaganda ...

Really loved reading the first 1/2 of this book- it’s cute, funny, has lovable characters and is overall a really charming read .. it’s predictable but in a way that is still super fun to read

that being said,

second half started to lose me, final section almost lost me entirely - 3.6/5

I’m in a trance. I love her

“I used to think people only lied to make their lives mean something. Now I think people lie to make their lives meaningless, because it makes them so much easier to live.”

immediately not sure what’s happening on 7 different levels

already love this book- introduction is a disclaimer that you possibly might not like the book or the main character because it is “hard-hearted” and at times “a bleak and unpleasant read” - simply cannot wait to find out!!

strong start!!! I’m excited.

only about 100 pages in but so disappointed in her last two books.. full of poorly written tropes and uncanny predictability :/ I hope I’m not on the road to becoming a hater

absolutely loved this book. 4.5/5

“It was death calling him.”
“Yes…”
“We can’t avoid our fate, my dear, whatever people might say. If he had t gone for a swim at Carcavelos something else would have happened. He might have been run over, for example. Yesterday was simply his day to die.”

this is oddly yet strikingly comforting to me

3.5!! A little long, but at times genius

I’m ashamed of myself

2.5!! one dimensional and elementary but cute story

0/5

“my strategy: learn parkour”
“I really really like the rookie”
“opening a can of whoop-ass”
“I don’t fall in love, love is for girls”

I simply don’t know how this book can recover

off to a really rough start :/

this book is so weird I loved it

I’m in a trance
