Actually no, I get it. If I had made ELEVEN Slam finals and lost all of them, I would also have the crash out of the century.

Meg Jones…… 90% of the season is hard court season. Late September Davis Cup (qualifiers) is neither the start nor end to it, it’s been back since July……

I think it’s so funny that she exclusively sets her books during Slams. Like, cmon Meg Jones, let’s see these characters duke it out at the 250 in ‘S-Hertogenbosch.

I feel like this is a book I’m going to have to read a second time to truly appreciate what it’s saying

“And on that note—what’s the situation as far as ‘beef’ in this area? And when I say ‘beef,’ I mean beefy men.” @ Meghan what the hell have you gifted me?

ted idk his last name might be one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. love this guy

Big, big fan of non-linear narrative

Dream House as Choose Your Own Adventure… fuck

Well this is depressing as hell

I fear this book needed to be wrapped up like 60 pages ago because I have completely lost interest

zoinks

While I understand he might not be taking the best approach, is Luke really saying anything that’s not true?

"For certain, Mrs. Price, there are Christians and then there are Christians."

Jump scared by the red wheelbarrow poem

The fact that she can’t tell she’s being used…… GIRLLLLLL STAND UP !!!!!!!!!!

genuinely want to like this but the writing... we have moved beyond the need for millennial cringe

“How we wives and mothers do perish at the hands of our own righteousness. I was just one more of those women who clamp their mouths shut and wave the flag as their nation rolls off to conquer another in war. Guilty or innocent, they have everything to lose. They are what there is to lose. A wife is the earth itself, changing hands, bearing scars.” god damn

those damn papist catholics!!

plot? eating it up. writing? unbearable levels of cringe.

Piggly Wiggly mention

Forgot how short the Lotus Hotel scene is in the book… it takes up so much space in my mind

Let out the longest sigh this is sooo dumb

Rolling my eyes so hard

It’s not that the writing is bad, it’s that I am incredibly bored.

She wants to be Olga Tokarczuk so bad

HELLO????

“You drool when you sleep.” Lives were changed.

'tis the season

Now THIS is a slow burn !!!! 50% in and they’re still not even friends. What dreams are made of, truthfully.

Maybe /I’M/ the foolish one for expecting the hockey romance book to include any actual hockey playing
