Daaaaaaang.

Gothic Horror is my favorite genre...but I'm at a loss over what's going on here?

They're just making lunch together....and I just want them to get married?

Why?

The chapter about Isabella Stewart Gardner felt incredibly surface level, especially considering she's one of the only two women with any focus on this text.

Every page read, I feel like I'm losing a part of myself that I will never get back #katanasword #swordhandle #haorijacket

I would once again like to know....where is the editor?

We had gems in chapter two the likes of:

"Isla jammed her hands into armpits..."

"She felt more alone than she had ever done in her life."

Also, the barista is a faceless, nameless man with a bun.

2007-2010 references: myspace, flip phone, clueless about boba (but then correctly calling it "bubble tea" in internal dialogue.

Editor....where are you?

Having fun with this for sure.

Okay, so Elspeth is kind of dumb. Foreshadowing is not as subtle as it should be here.

A really easy re-read so far.

I hope "ancestors / ancestors' homeland" isn't a phrase that keeps getting repeated.

I'm confused. Wait. Okay. Nevermind.

I cannot properly express how much I love this book. It hits the same buttons as shojo and fanfiction, and I mean that in the best ways possible.

Finally!!! It feels like it took forever to get us here

Where was this book when I was in high school?

What am I even listening to, Brie?!

The yearning~!

Brie, what am I listening to?!

This reads very YA.
A potential to be spicy, but there's just something that makes it feel.....young?
I don't dislike it. It just doesn't feel "adult".
Blood and corsets an adult novel does not make.

I'm absolutely inhaling this!

I am Clementine. I have never related to a character so hard.

Can Ora catch a break please?

I think it doesn't bode well for me that I'm rooting for the witch in all this.

This is the most bonkers thing I've read in a while.
