I love dystopian

I’m heavily invested.

WHO DID IT TO YOU??

“He’s not the kind of guy that comes with a Happily Ever After. He’s the kind of guy that makes you hope. The kind of hope that scars once it’s ripped away. The kind of scar that hurts to even think about, but the kind of hurt that feels like living.”

This has me giggling and blushing 🤭 Alex Aquino is a young Oscar Isaac in my head btw

Dare I say this book is *too* horny?

Oh my GOD, I’m obsessed

Go pick this up right now, it’s so FUN

For being the first book set after the sequels, it’s clear they didn’t give the author a lot of room to play. Most of the story is flashbacks from Finn and Jannah’s time as stormtroopers.

“I know your heart, Ben, and it’s gentle and kind and good.”

Oh Ben 🥺I’m sorry we went the toxic Han-Leia relationship for your backstory

His full name is Benjamin Harrison Carter?! Reylo, confirmed

Her thinking he hates her eats EVERY 👏🏻 TIME 👏🏻

Oh yeahhhh I fuck with Princess Donut 😻

Idk if it’s because I’m not a traditional dark romance reader but holy shit is the dirty talk in this horrendous. Also, her being kidnapped and Stockholm Syndromed into wanting to f*ck him and now being obsessed with being a “good little wife” has me rolling my eyes so hard

Is this supposed to be cute? She keeps saying no. No is a full sentence.

I truly cannot wait for this to be over

THAT FREAKING CHAPTER

Bruh I hope Kade 💀 Stacey‘s dad for this

I feel like her always saying which song is playing is like cheating

I can’t imagine riding this hard for The Greatest Showman

PART TWO LETS GO

Taking my time with this beauty

LUSH never had pina colada bath bombs! Immersion ruined! 🤣

God this is so genius, even on a reread

KM Moronova creates these like earth-shattering connections, but (for me) doesn’t do enough of the work to make me fully believe in them. Her books always sound so good but I think I should probably skip from here on out.

This is giving me Nikita vibes 🔥

The narration makes Billy sound like one of the kids from Recess

While in no way is this like The Cruel Prince, I’m getting The Cruel Prince vibes. Does that make sense??

I loved this series, but man this last book is a slog to get through
