This book is adorable and hilarious. The tension is also already crackling, and I'm very excited.

Oh, good Lord. This plot twist is beyond MAWKISH. It's telling that, in a sea of generalizations and white saviorism, I'm actually personally offended by this latest plot point. Like, it's TOO MUCH.

Yikes on bikes.

Um, WUT.

"We had hoped for so many things."

This chapter is kicking me in the pants. I am in tears, but Sarah Bessey is exactly who I needed to read in this moment in time.

Just started the chapter titled "Fear," and it felt apropos, tonight of all nights. I hate feeling sick with grief and fear.

How do you cite a specific Beyoncé world tour and then GET THE DISCOGRAPHY WRONG? How did the editing team also miss this? As an academic, I always fact-check myself when it comes to pop culture data like this.

I'm sorry, the antidote to the poisonous Darcy myth is the film, DIRTY DANCING???? THEE Dirty Dancing where a man in his late 20s seduces a teenaged girl? OKAY THEN.

This book is deeply unserious.

Comparing Adam Levine's 2022 setting scandal to Mr. Darcy is...a choice.

She's *upset* that Wickham was paid off to marry Lydia, and it's colored her view of P&P in a way that is harmful and reductive, in my opinion. And as unsavory a choice as marrying Wickham might be, it's not like Lydia had other, better options, particularly since she ran off with Wickham OF HER OWN ACCORD. Tess of the D'urbervilles, anyone?

Insulting The Monk is a red flag. Don't listen to her! Read it: it's hilarious. (A man so depraved that Satan rejects him? GOLD. Lisa Vanderpump weeps in envy)

I realize I'm gonna be THAT "Okay, Boomer" academic, but...misspelling Georgiana Darcy's name when you have a supposed expertise AND AN EDITOR is just sloppy.

I'm sorry, Dr. Feder has hit her head confused Mr. Darcy with the millions of Byronic "heroes," who are, in her own words, right there.

I'M READY TO GET HURT AGAIN

Rest in peace, good Sir.

This is a weird thing to say, but there's just so much SPACE in this book. I've discovered that technology and space are just not enjoyable for me. Gonna stick with Monk and Robot.

Mosscap CRACKS ME UP. That is all.

I'm feeling festive, dagnabbit.

This chapter on lament cut me to the core. So, so important.

"You want your heart back, girl? Go get it."

Heart-eye emojis.

Doing a re-read to engage with themes as a sacred text practice. I'm curious to see how a set of books I love contain both enlightening and troubling elements from an author who turned out to be a bigot.

Yippee ki-yay, mofos, my copy finally got here!!!

I'm actually getting a little misty-eyed.
