This is such a gem so far. I’m savoring every page.

“Josh likes yoga instructors who wear yoga pants but doesn’t like it when women wear too much makeup :( . Kristen is not like other women, she’s the cool girl, isn’t emotional, and hangs with the guys!” Did a woman even write this??

The characters and writing is already annoying me. The main character girl is hot without trying, her and her friends prefer cool girl stuff like poker and hunting, not charcuterie boards which “have weird stuff on them.”

This book is magical and cozy and brought back the magic of reading back into my life. One night I couldn’t sleep and was reading this book on the sofa at 3:30 a.m. and was transported to another world within another world. I am scared to finish this book, it’s that good.

this book is sooooo catchy!!! Talk about getting out of a DNF reading slump!

Never have I seen a strip-show written with such precision than in the beginning of this novel.

Very good so far but also very stressful/frustrating. What’s more disempowering than reading POV of a young orphan being carted around to various foster homes?

Love it so far. It reads like a story but is actually a series of multiple character studies - each character with a life so rich and interesting.

I came into this book not knowing anything about Constance and I’m sad to say I mostly get mean-girl vibes from her. She talks about how she bullied and traumatized her sister and then somehow made it all about her and her own shame surrounding that relationship. She talks about how she’s a victim of bullying in middle school but slips in that it started because she was picking on her own best friend.

Anyone else get mean-girl vibes from Constance in this book? 😞

Ooh this is fun so far!!!

I’m loving it so far. Another cool book with an ugly cover

600 page book that could have been 300 or less. This plot takes so many inconsequential side quests. I’m nearly done with it but it couldn’t end fast enough.

Such an interesting story so far! Don’t judge a book by its cover!

The immersive pacing of this book is such a breath of fresh air compared to my last tome.

This is a slowww ass mystery book. It took half of the whole book to learn less than one clue.

Beginning was slow and political but now it’s giving desert cowgirl vibes and I’m loving it

This is soooo good and immersive so far. Being unexpectedly quarantined on a exotic vacation because of the onset of COVID — What an excitingly new storyline!

This author has the ability to break your heart with a single word!! Amazing mastery of human emotion.

Holy sh*t!!!! My heart is being physically wrenched. This is a must read!!!

I’m only partway into the novel and already shedding tears for something I didn’t even see coming. This is a beautiful novel and maybe I was too harsh in Taylor Reid Jenkins.

Pretty interesting setup! The book is a legal drama taking place in the dystopian future.

So good so far!! I can’t get enough of it!

Holy crap this book is soooo good so far. It’s cinematic and reads like a greattt movie.

So interesting so far...

Rereading this after having read it multiple times in my young adult years! Totally worth it! The narrative style flows so well, pacing is amazing, imagery is beautiful, and the tone and energy is set so well.

So boring so far

Why do I keep reading so many depressing damn books??

Ugh something really annoying happened and it’s making me not want to continue reading. *spoiler alert* Basically, Stella, who is also on the autism spectrum, is sexually harassed at work, and her boyfriend (Michael) gets *jealous*. Excuse me? Michael asks Stella if she “liked it” when the other man had forced himself on her. And then later Michael initiates intercourse with her to “reclaim” her wtf??

Every page is gold
