holy shit the stuff about banana republic is beyond fucked up

protagonist is a PUERTO RICAN LESBIAN from THE BRONX i am so sat for this

that was the worst meeting ever

"I can't help you anymore."
"I know."
"No you don't know. You're heading nowhere."
"I know."
"How many colleges did you apply to?"
"Five."
"You don't care do you?"
"I do."
"Then act like it."

like what?

4 pages in and there's already a dick pic

second half of this book truly showing why i fell in love with it hang on 🥺

Crazy that I got to the concert scene and both times I've read this book, I literally experience a concert close to me getting to this point (sombr and now wolf alice).

It's also crazy that my mindset now is so much more different than when I got to this point the first time.

oh no...

THERE'S LESBIAN REP IN THIS BOOK LET'S GO???

revisiting the first book i truly fell in love with <3

So this book tackles culture, education, isolation, freedom, growing up, war, friendship, family, homosexuality, writing, death, and SO MUCH MORE.

Mind you, these are only the most GENERALIZED topics this book handles that I could name. There's so much more beneath the surface; family members distancing and exiling one another, being "born too late," feeling invisible to the world, etc.

WOWOWOW the exchange between them to end the chapter is so good

I don't trust a single guy in this book

"She's... definitely straight," I say, trying to stall, well aware that she's got a beanie and a flannel on in eighty-degree weather

woah hang on they got ME in this book???

buddy read with my beautiful friend amy!! :)

happy pride month!! :)

"'I think Harry Potter's a bit shit, to be honest'"

best character already

this book is so fucking unbelievably bad. i'm so tired.

More authors should include keyboard smashes in their books

It's crazy for me to say this, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LOVE what is happening in this book omg

Where's I Kissed Summer Collins I'd want to read that book

okay, so here's my two biggest problems with this book so far:

1) This book expects me to believe that Liz survived over a year in the bookstore after The Storm, yet has repeatedly—through her actions, decision-making, and personality—proven that she clearly should not have.

2) The sense of time in this book (hours, days, years) feels completely misconceptualized.

Once again, she's protecting me. Once again, I'm useless

this whole book in a fucking nutshell

WTFFFFFFF

WHY ARE THEY TREATING LIZ GETTING HER HAND/ARM CHOPPED UP AS SOME QUIRKY LITTLE THING????

liz you're acting a little too chill for someone that just mutilated their own hand

this book expects me to believe that liz spent 9 months living in the bookstore after the apocalypse, but it's written as if she only spent like 2 months there...

wait hang on last chapter was so good and then this chapter completely nose-dived 😭

Bought this book alongside Perfect Girl. SURELY it won't be as bad, right? 🙂

"A few hours ago, I couldn't imagine hurting anyone."

i'm going insane YOU LITERALLY IMAGINED STABBING YOUR BROTHER AND HEARING HIM SCREAM EARLIER IN THIS BOOK
