My first Cat Sebastian! My local library had a physical copy of this book and I grabbed it before going out of town for a weekend. Initial impression- easily readable and it's honestly kinda refreshing to read histrom that isn't Regency.

This is growing on me. I’m generally having a good time.

I might be struggling a bit more with this book than other Alexis Hall books because I'm reading a physical copy and the typeface is small. Why is it so small?!

Listened to this on my commute this morning with my husband in the car. At one point I had to pause it so he could air his very many grievances about how bad an escort Michael is (leaving Stella alone to talk to another woman, etc).

Okay, this is a hostile workplace.

“You want to do science and I want to do art, this is insurmountable, we cannot be together” is quite possibly the dumbest case for a third act breakup I’ve ever read.

So far, this is fine? Pleasantly neutral?

And school's back in session, so unfortunately it will be quite a while until I get a chance to return to this story.

This book is making me anxious. I have to convince myself to pick it back up because I keep expecting bad things/unpleasant interactions to happen.

I hate Alain, and while I am sure that's intended, it's making this a bit of a slog presently.

As a bisexual mom of an 8 year old girl, this book speaks to me.

We have made it to Rivendell!

This timeline isn't quite making sense. Lark and Rose were just having coffee and somehow enough time has elapsed for her to have gotten the news about her aunt and for Lachlan to have gotten nervous from waiting just in Rose and Fionn's drive across town? It doesn't quite math. This feels sloppy.

I've seen the general consensus was that this installment was less enjoyable than Boyfriend Material but so far I haven't been disappointed.

Oh hey, Fionn just called Leander instead of calling Lachlan, for no reason other than so he can owe Leander his doctoring skills and this book can have some "plot" outside his relationship with Rose for the rest of the book. This book is a trainwreck.

This book was started specifically as a book for my husband and I listen to together- for road trips, commutes, chores, that sort of thing. But we have both realized we kinda hate it? And with our daughter accompanying us for all but the last 7 minutes of our commute, it's been very slow going. At the current dosage, we will be done in a few weeks, but books really shouldn't feel like medicine. (I refuse to DNF)

I really appreciate Hall's commitment to creating characters with extremely varied backgrounds and queer experiences.

Enjoyable so far. I'm enjoying it more than 10,000 Stitches.

Seeing my daughter’s face light up when Frodo’s three friends chose to accompany him was pure magic.

So far, enjoying this more than 10,000 stitches.
