i keep forgetting these aren’t real people

man, can these women catch a break? specifically from men doing them sooooo dirty

almost DNF-ed bc the covid exposition was almost too much for me but now i’m invested also fuck darnell that guy sucks

thinking abt how i cited this author’s academic work in my big research paper on hildegard of bingen

this is weird (good) so far, but because there seem to be footnotes and this is an audiobook i’m confused a little

i actually like these two best besides hollanov?? like maybe tied with skip??

completing the set, also troy is like my secret favorite character in the game changers universe

mostly here bc ilya haunts the narrative…


okay we get it there’s an age gap!

is she gonna fall in love with this guy from the 19th century? oh brother

…i don’t even know anymore

how am i 2/3 of the way through this book and the love interests are still hooking up with other people

magically instant character development was just shoved in my face by a deeply obvious parallel to the opening scene… okay then

one positive:
-biblically accurate british mum

one negative:
-cambridge man calls a picardy third a “tierce de picardie” in order to make it seem like he knows more about music than he actually does

if i were in their shoes the story would end there bc i would transfer to oxford in a heartbeat lmaoooo

newest horrors:
- american character continues to use unrealistic british-isms

…incest :(

shout out to ames for being from st. paul also i wish i were reading a physical copy of this book so badly i need to mine it for some banger quotes about motherhood and gender and transness

audiobooked it for my long volunteering commute! actually really enjoying it despite being a little confused at the beginning

why is lockwood’s main takeaway so far that he shouldn’t go after the widowed catherine heathcliff bc she might be crazy like her mom…

cathy’s a shit stirrer

was given this for my 14th? 15th? birthday and am finally using the new film adaptation as an excuse to read it…

never in my life have i heard an american use the phrase “i like to back myself…” i know he’s supposedly lived in the UK for nearly three years, but that is a british-ism that feels like a stretch for him to know

why are neither of them in their college’s boat club and just on the oxford v. cambridge boat race team? aren’t there boat races between the colleges around this time of year, too? is that the only race they prep all year for?
