I don’t like the flashback parts to the story. I just want 2014 😭 also “I remember you” 🫶🏼🫶🏼

IT SWITCHES PERSPECTIVES!!!!!! Yes!!! Could this book get any better?

It is quite mind boggling how much you can romanticize leaving your town—I love it

“For the first time in her life, Adeline will sleep on a foreign bed, and wake to a foreign sounds and smells, and there will be a moment, as brief as a yawn, when she won’t know where she is, and her heart will quicken—first with fear, and then with something else…She will [return] a different version of herself.”

First chapter and I am INVESTED!!

Seriously are you kidding me? Now that I am on the last page of this book I find there is a playlist 😠

⚠️SMALL SPOILER GET AWAY!⚠️

WTH is this ending??! The lead up was sooooo good and the ending makes everything seem like all redundant. Tella is like oh well yeah surprise! 🤗🤗🤗

I am eating this upppp

What in the world happened in those tunnels. I got to go to bed it’s midnight but the biggest cliff hanger 😩😩😩

“ Sometimes he gazed at her as if he wanted to be her undoing, but just then it was as if he wanted her to undo him. It was probably just the fever and the head wound, but for a moment, she swore he wanted to kiss her, really kiss her.”

In my whole 17 years of life having read maybe 250 book I have never read anything like this book

Hot take: I think Julian is Legend. Probably wrong though

Okay, I’m kind of intrigued now. Based on the cover, I thought the book would have a dark atmosphere. It didn’t at first with the sunny beach on the island with the boats, but now….. 👀👀

This isn’t really catching my interest

I think I am in a reading slump because I pushed myself read 400 page books every day for a week to finish my Goodreads goal of 100 books, but I didn’t even reach it 😩

“Care is reckless because it doesn’t come with the seatbelt that selfishness offers. Care has so much lose, and almost always ends in heartbreak.”

This I my first audio book I have ever listened to fully. I want to get into audiobooks because I can drive now and get to be alone 🥳🥳

The plot twist goes crazy

This is so sad. I think C. is selfish and doesn’t care how she affects other people. She is only looking out for herself. I want to be nice, but I lost every bit of respect, not that I had any for her when we first met her.

I love all the different POVs. There are 5 parts in this book. Each part has two different time lines with different perspectives. I love it

“We have only one defense, and that is running away. At least it can’t follow us, can it? When we feel ourselves endangered we can leave, just as we came. And just as fast as we can go.” From the Haunting of the Hill House

Cathrine: “hide who I am for the sake of a man who’s never once tried to see me.”

This is getting better

Ooo we are meeting the guy in the relationship! I didn’t know there would be romance between the main character in present day

So far I am having an extremely hard time understanding her writing. I don’t know why

So I do not justify that your boyfriend is still talking to his ex to comfort her—alone. He didn’t even tell his girlfriend why. He said it was a secret. Nope, at least Peter and Laura Jean could both help her, not alone. And why do they get back together 😭

I hate to say it but I like John better and now I’m confused because I know who she picks

It is kind of boring right now, definitely not as good as the first one.

I gotta say I miss Peter at Laura Jean’s house.

Chapter ten goes crazy! In a clean way ofc
