having a delightful time

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single, space-faring man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”

was having the itch to reread Pride and prejudice again, found this and I am quite literally over the moon to read this!!!

I didn’t read a description on this book or anything before starting to read it and lemme tell ya I’m entranced. The writing is very fascinating and the story keeps unfolding and I’m like WHOA the whole time

the dialogue feels very juvenile, but I’m enjoying it nonetheless. I like the premise, and I tried to explain it to my mom- but it’s really hard to explain this book to someone if they don’t know anything about 1) The Fae 2) Regency Era. Many history lessons were given after this conclusion

If I hear Anna say “If you loved me…” one more time I’m gonna throw this book out the window

I have often aligned myself with resembling Emma, but now that I put some thought to the matter I feel I am Hawkes.

-I say odd things at peculiar times
-Have crazy stories that elevate the whimsy
-Always quoting a niche book or movie
-I often find myself vanishing from social situations

Anywho that is my current update

spoilers:

okay so Anna just died, why do I still have half the book to read

I’m never bored in this book, but I do feel icky because of the morally grey areas within this book. I find it a beautiful written essay on how human nature is to justify what you want with Religion, or unfair social standing. There’s a lot of “oh woe is me” and “grass is greener in the other side” from these rich nobles. I’m very intrigued

the writing is crazy, so visual and creative

guys I think snow is my ex, and I am Lucy grey. It’s bringing back bad memories

Men who think they are good guys always love to THINK they love free birds, but end up caging them because they weren’t their ideal of “free”

guys I can’t do gothic novels because I’m always crying for the Villain :( what do you mean he just wants a wife that he can take out on Sunday and amuse during the weekdays :( he just wants to do magic tricks and ventriloquism for her :( UGH I know he’s crazy but that’s so saddddddd :,(

I think my fav niche genres that I will always enjoy is Jane Austen and Arthurian Myth. This book has been very entertaining. What do you mean Guinevere is a time traveling teen from the 2000’s and invented the high five?

Mary tries so hard, and I’ve cried about it a few times.

enjoying it SO MUCH the way the author weaves in jokes throughout the book about other P&P adaptations has me cackling

yall I might be in a Chardonnay filled haze but I’m already crying. My baby Mary. GIRL

WOWOWOWOWOW

I am so enthralled by this book. I need this book like I need air.
