I was expecting the Bible, Greek gods edition…but this is actually pretty juicy.
Surprisingly novel-y.
(I’m not digging on the Bible)
(I’m just recognizing the fact that it IS a dry, factual, sparse historical piece for the most part so 🙃)

Well.
Arabella and Pierce will do very well for each other.

Pierce + Arabella

Well.

Hawkes is far to omniscient to be the romantic lead.
So not him, PLEASE.
(Pierce is fine)
(But please. Let it be Islington 🙏)
(He’s a DUKE!!!)

“‘As for advisement, anyone with sense would marry the duke, have the vicar officiate, and hire the photographer to take a wedding portrait.’”

Arabella is a kindred spirit.

I’m crying.

My darling angel aunt leant this to me in a desperately bookless moment 🥹💖

This is medicine for my poor neglected brain cells ✨

Hm. After the queen’s thief, these politics just feel so ridiculously theatric and fake ☹️

Still not a lot has *happened* happened…but I do like the character building. The author isn’t scared to let the mcs have issues ✨

Oh whoops meant 14 and 15 PERCENT done 🤦‍♀️

Ewwww i also just figured out the gay plot 😩

Ok…if Wes is who I think he us, just…bruh. That’s great 🤣✨

Ellie + Dev PAH-LEASSSEEE
Save me from this couch potato of a Willoughby 🙏

Aww you got a speeding ticket, Will The Hottie? That mean, bad bad cop. Doesn’t he know handsomes like you are exempt? 💔

Me: Wow, what a generic idiot of a teenager—
Will: I can tell there’s something different about you, Ellie. You’re so nOt LiKe oThEr GiRlS

Whoops meant 99 PERCENT done 🤦‍♀️

I was crying when I finished this last night. Actual tears dripping everywhere and getting my pillow wet 😭

Ughhh they totally are doing the gay plot 💔😑

Somehow this is really nostalgic. Like I’m back in bed as a 8 yo listening to Andrew Lang…
But please, PAH-LEASEEE, don’t have the gay side plot I’m seeing 😭🙏

Ok so how can something be sooo borrrrinnngggg 😭
Also, that thing the author does where she ends every descriptor with “my body” to make things sexier? Not working.
I feel like I’m reading some poor biologist’s fever dream. 😑

Well that picked up.
Also, can we take this moment to recognize how much I LOVE weddings? And Sevro. And especially them together 😼
(Shh in a totally platonic way dw 🙄)

So that picked up 💀💔
And can we take this moment to recognize how much I LOVE weddings? And Sevro. As in, I love him too.
(Shhh, in a totally platonic way dw 🙄)

Well, now we know dear little Julliette is a simply STELLAR arguer. She should go in for debating.
😑

Oh no, evil hottie #2 from THE BAD BAD BAD INSTITUTION is forcing you and hottie #1 to live together, wahhhhhhhh
😑

I just borrowed the audio…but why does the narrator sound like an old man??? 😭
Its like Brown did that classic dude thing where he’s like like “yes, find me the crustiest, manliest most BADARSE VOICE POSSSIBLLEEEE”
💔😑

So…why do some kids get to be called “south asian” or “latino”…and the others just called “white”? Why don’t they also get to be called “eastern European” or “Scandinavian”??
It’s so VERY racist 😤
