damn this is rlly captivating i was too young to enjoy this peak shi (back in 2021 or so)
also terrifying i tremble w every sentence

lol i just realized cambodian culture was so similar to vietnam’s. i immediately knew what she was talking abt when she mentioned the “cyclo” - in vietnam we call those xích lô

OH MY GOD I WAS STILL RIDING THE BIGGEST HIGH WHEN THE BOOK ENDEDDD BROOOOOOOOO DONT EDGE US LIKE THAT??!!!! THAT WAS ABSOLUTE PERFECTIONNNN BEST BOOK CLIMAX IVE EVER READ

12:27am. exhilarating. absolutely exhilarating. everything wrapped up so beautifully, so much well done representation, absolutely beautiful. my brain stopped working. i need to go to sleep.

yoooo that part was gooodddd
also can Zahra’s mystery man(?) be SHAAN????!!! ANOTHER secret diabolical transatlantic romantic relationship??!!! that would be ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

omg for the last 200 pages or so ive thought DAMN henry is such a darling and i so want a partner like him but what just happened there at the lake??
also “poof of dazzlingly purple smoke” took me OUT dont do that to me on public transit

im LOVIN it
perfect therapy after American Psycho ;-;
this reeks YA from like 2 miles away and im LIVING for it. loving all of the characters here and bratty bot?? HELL YEEEHHHH

i feared i couldn’t absorb all this wisdom in my then-current state of mjnd

Luis Carruther, ladies and gentlefolk, THE MOST ICONIC GAY TO EVER GO DOWN IN HISTORY, fictional or non-fictional. Being a freak can truly save your life. Man really done pulled an Uno reverse on a psycho serial killer. Him being sexually assaulted would be SO funny like reverse SA????

holy shit why do this guy hate women SO FUCKING MUCH???
and why do literally NOBODY cares? i get that its like 1990 or smt but he literally said he wanted to do a forced blood transfusion between a woman and a dog?? he be spewing the most unhinged shit ever and ppl just keep going like nothing happened wtf

grwm - patrick batsman’s edition except he can’t stfu about his japanese tech stuff LIKE WE GET IT GIRL. also i learnt some useful shaving hacks.

oohhhh never ending love and all that
these peeps wanna be hualian so bad. just kidding it’s actually rlly good and emotional. i just dont care as much cuz the circus is more interesting and theyre straight. less straight than most but still straight. also JUSTICE FOR TSUKIKO BROOOO its the experienced black friend mentor trope all over again

actually the romance part is only a side dish, theres only like actual stuff happening around 50% or so (ofc there has always been stuff lurking in the background) but its actually good slow burn. like the first time they held (touched is more accurate) theres like a whole ass literal earthquake lmao. idk feels like it was gay i wouldve liked it more??

really beautiful writing, super magical experience, but like im taking longer to read it for some reason. guys am i heterophobic or smt why do i always lose at least some interest when the hetero romance come into play. uhh but like this couple is decent its not as bad

i LOVEEE the vibes bro
also this is such a good book soooo worth the hype (i might have a very big fat furry bias for the old British aesthetic because i also loved Enola Holmes and Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter and stuff like that)

the storytelling is interestingly fragmented
who is this hector bowen dude and why is he a dick

oh god the last like 3 chapters were fucking crazy
i do NOT wanna read about a middle schooler masturbating no matter how crucial it is to the theme and story. i would MUCH rather read splatterpunk or whatever. also that climax??? sexual assault squared goes crazy?? and they're MIDDLE SCHOOLERS?? like thank god i experienced that on autopilot

hb saw a dead body, got human-soccer’d and is now contemplating suicide. i am lowk scared of Kojima

its so sad that they’re middle schcool kidds that are going thru this shi

im nearing the end and wow
tbh i think theres been a quality slip compared to the first 2 books, but theres finally a morally gray villain so ye eat that up

NOOOO PHOEBEEE MY SHAYLAAA

holy shit im calling it. Nate’s dad’s lost key defo has smt to do w the mystery and what if its like an ultimate villain hodge podge yk like Jake and then lil Edgy Owen and idk some other guy.

idk man im dnf-ing this
i dont like this guy, this book is too misogynistically straight (wow 2 things that make me uncomfortable to different degrees) for me and it’s getting sooo boringg like quit whining i dont careeee and wont start unless u start cutting urself or jumping off a bridge

very helpful im noting stuff down
this is literally just digital gardening i think the slip-box method and digital gardening is so interchangeable

idk if this man's tendency to hurt himself redeems him somewhat.
at least he's healing in America!! (America is like the last place you would expect anyone to heal at but this guy is like special /SARCASTIC so ye)
i'm like rlly curious as to why he's a raging mysoginist (kinda getting better but still)

this relates so much to digital gardening
