This is kind of giving "written by AI" vibes but I can't pinpoint why

Cute, fun, AND wholesome ☺️

Also extremely good!! So glad I've finally picked some good books after so many flops this year

Omg this is so good??? Best book I've read so far in 2026 and I hope it stays that way

Yay, an ARC read 🥳

This is so stupid and boring omg

I really want to give this a chance but I'm a fifth of the way in and it's so repetitive and I STILL don't know what the hell is going on

Excited about my first ARC read even though it's post-publishing 😅

I have no idea what's going on in the story but I'm A) intrigued about the premise and B) confused about how you trade a car for boots

I absolutely hate that every other page has an annotation with a snarky authors note at the bottom of the page explaining character or plot details. Show, don't tell

I need a gross ass palette cleanser lol

Recommending a 2 week wait for sex after multiple genital piercings in one sitting?????? 😬 tattoo research may be decent but gewd lawd

I was apprehensive about starting this because no one ever writes about or depicts the tattoo industry correctly. I will DNF this so fast if somethings wonky lmao

I'm just... not digging this

She's not a very good assassin

I'll always be confused when I read a book that's super interesting but also manages to absolutely drag at the same time

I was really liking this up until *spoiler* a man in jail is interviewed because he's about to go on parole then threatens a bunch of people and goes apeshit and assaults the interviewer on camera. Buddy your parole is being revoked and you have new charges to add time now. This bitch would never get out of jail wtf

I've said this with the past three books but I really mean it this time: I'm not reading anything else in this series. God this is so pointless and poorly written

I need to start skimming this because the majority of it is pointless

👁️👁️

My least favorite thing about this series is how the author frequently talks about a character in a scene without naming them or giving them any defining features so you have no clue what's going on

My friend gave this to me to borrow like... 4 months ago and I'm just now getting to it. Whoops

Apparently all I need to do to get out of a reading slump is read nonfiction about sex. I am devouring this

*sighs* I don't even know why I'm reading this

I'm loving this but I'm frustrated the author doesn't use quotation marks for dialogue.

I am SO TIRED of the author referencing Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop website. There's literally been three references in this chapter of consumerism alone

It's been 24 hours and I'm still upset about spending so much time reading Onyx Storm

I'm finally so close to finishing this dumpster fire

I'm irrationally irritated by how often one of the characters will describe their feelings in detail and then the other one goes "same."

Like. Literally. "Same."

Gtfo

Y'all ever read a book where the main character is fucking up SO BAD and making so many horrendous decisions and you start to get anxious and feel like you're the one in trouble? Lmao I have chest pain rn
