*sigh* there's nothing worse than when you get to the MMC's POV and realize he's kinda corny :/

I've got butterflies 🥰

I'm already leary. The first few pages are filled with author's notes about traumas and trigger warnings, then a final note asking readers to excuse how she wrote her characters' actions and emotions because she understands not all people who go through something similar react the same way. Yeah, no shit. Is it really necessary to explain this to readers? This is crazy. 🤣

Oh, for fuck's sake. This is why I don't read YA romance. Lucas is an idiot.

Another book in less than a week that the FMC has ADHD and has to mention it immediately. Is this like a new trope or something?

Really liking this so far.

Mainly reading because of the drama about the book Beverly plagiarising (is that a word?) this one. I bounced back a forth between the two. It's shocking the similarities. Can't really say if the writing style is better or worse in either. They're pretty similar in that way as well. It's a big info dump in the very beginning for both. Not my favorite way for a book to start off.

Aw! Just started. Really loving the dynamic between these two.

I'm just starting this, and the author has a list of content warnings. One of them is "mild depictions of poverty/financial imbalance." What in the actual fuck? Has it really come to this? SMH... what next? Trigger warnings for people that hate cats?

Really liking so far

Forgot how good Walker is.

Not going so good. I'm about 16% in. Picked up my kindle just now, and was trying to figure out a book to start reading BECAUSE I FORGOT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ONE 🤣🤣🤣. Needless to say, so far this is boring AF. Not a big fan of the FMC or her current love interest, not because they're horrible people, just blah.

Damn, I wasn't expecting to be in tears within the first 10 pages.

I was looking forward to Gibsie's story and I'm devastated to see the bad reviews. I'm hoping it's not true for me.

😍

There are a lot of non-answers, half-truths, and secrets. I hope all this suspense is worth it in the end.

Underwear? 🤔

I'm liking it so far, but a little confused because I glanced through some GR reviews and some people I follow were not fans LOL.

I dunno. Kinda bored.

Ugh...is this gonna be one of those miscommunication type romances? I hope not. The angst is a bit OTT, but let's see where it goes. Maybe there's a reason for the "waking up screaming" just because her foster brother left

Not loving the abrupt time jump, but moving on...

I don't know where this is going and I can't stop reading, so that's good. Shay...I dunno dude. He's out there.

If I had known what I was getting into when I started this, I would have taken a few days off of work. At the moment work, sleep and meals are inconveniences.

I'm not much of a Sci-fi or fantasy reader, so don't know if it's just me, but as soon as it got to Meoraq's POV, I've been totally lost. 🫤

This is starting off amazing. Please 🙏 don't let me down 🤞🤞

I know I read this probably 15-20 years ago, but re-reading it because 1. I don't remember it well, so it'll feel fresh and 2. I was craving a good classic historical romance and you can't go wrong with Williamson.

Whoa! I'm totally not a prude, but "Fuckfest" came out of nowhere and startled me 😆
