The lack of urgency to investigate the baby that was abandoned on their door is both baffling and distressing.

The love triangles upon love triangles is a tad annoying. Ricky is annoying and feels forced. Gabriel is the worst and only gets worse and yet I prefer Gabe somehow.

never have I read the words "sexily" or "masculine" used quite so much as I have in this book

I really thought I'd finished this yesterday?? but I'm only halfway through??

Ricky is proving more important to the story than I would like.

The top review for this book has a pretty major spoiler in its' tags so I guess poor Ricky isn't going to be having much fun in this one.

Ricky is absolutely going to die tragically, huh?

I cannot believe this book has the childhood sweetheart, bad boy biker with a heart of gold AND the snarky, mysterious brooding giant all in love with Olivia. And I cannot believe I am enjoying it despite all that.

The audiobook sounds like it was recorded in a wind tunnel. Might see if there's a more recent recording out there somewhere.

Whoops wrong edition. My copy apparently has over 1000 pages 💀

I feel like waaaaay too much stuff is happening in such a short period of time. But also there are so many time skips it has been hard to keep track. The head hopping is nice to see the different castes of their society but I also don't feel like we get enough time with any of the protagonists to really feel connected to them.

lordy 😶

😮‍💨

Jeff, my beloved

The idea that our perfect Kendra can know the precise date of the Greek Revival craze in Regency England but not know that Jane Austen initially published anonymously is laughable.

I've also never encountered the anti-eugenics argument of "eugenics is bad because it creates annoying people" but I can't disagree if Kendra is the example. Sorry girl, not a fan of you.

I've been itching for something like A Rip In Time and came across this title. It's okay so far, not a huge fan of the writing style, and I did begin to wonder if this was weirdly pro-eugenics? I'm also a quarter of the way through and she's only just jumped. Will stick it out, but I don't think it'll fill the void I'm after.

😭 Jules still is kinda awful but I feel so much for her. I can't believe how much character growth she had in like three chapters. You go girl.

Oh Juliet is kind of an awful person, huh?

RIGHTO so this is very topical apparently.

This is a very fun, well executed premise but oh golly if I hear the phrase "wake Romeo" one more time I'm going to scream.

Barry? BARRY? I'll get back to you Barry.

Waiter, more Rose Marigold content please!

2026 is, apparently, the year of reading books adapted from video games. All three (Alan Wake, Sacred and Terrible Air and Midnight Suns) are related to some of my top games I played last year.

"Every girl is actually a weapon of the bourgeoisie."

Oh okay good to know

THOUGHT CABINET MENTIONED WOOOO
I only have half an idea what is happening but I'm enjoying the ride. It is like the whole book is narrated by Inland Empire.

Ah yes it is everything I thought it might be

I'm gonna fight spotify for cutting me off half way through

My cousin bluetoothed me the ibex translation over the sandwich table at our grandmother's funeral so I feel obliged to finish it
