started another because why not read two cat sebastian books at one time?? plus I fear this one was tailored perfectly to my interests. can't wait to see if I enjoy it!

“now, though, he thinks that the game may have earned those metaphors. it’s slow and often seems pointless. it’s beautiful when it isn’t a mess.” (p. 281) maybe it is a beautiful game?? maybe george is right? and maybe mark has seen some of that?

i’ve become so invested in this story, i’ve fallen in love with these boys, & i’ve become immersed in the nyc backdrop along the way.
<3

had to force myself to stop reading because it's so good I don't want it to end my godddd

my goodness gracious I LOVE them so bad <3 the sheer amount of yearning on both sides is crazy and I can't wait for them to finally realize what they both want & NEED desperately is literally... each other.

also love that this is a re-read for me, but is so good it feels like brand new story, and I'm left just as invested and intrigued and obsessed with it as I was the first time.

...actually probably even more-so

I forgot just how much people hate Eddie at the start of the book & it makes me so sad,, like this man is actually falling apart on the inside like my god back the hell off

already know this re-read is going to be amazing though, cat sebastian i am actually indebted to you??

tonight i begin my 2nd read of the masterpiece that is “you should be so lucky” by cat sebastian

goal is to finish my re-read of this series in the next few months! I read books 1-5 last year for the first time since I was 10 years old.

likely finishing this up today --- along the way during this re-read ,I think I've convinced a few friends (who may be named emma and jordan) to read this one or other books by cat sebastian, so that is !!!

also! here is one of my favorite quotes from lovely andy: "i thought you understood. but i forgot you're a goddamn idiot... i don't know how to make this clearer. i'm not biding my time here. i'm here."

I somehow managed to be approved (despite my less than average net galley rating) for the e-arc of "The Weight of Angels" which isn't out until September. I absolutely cannot wait to start reading!!!

"maybe simon's operating on a different definition of love than most people. maybe he needs the kind of love that won't let him forget it, not for a minute."

-----

so sad i'm almost done with this one! but I've been purposely pacing myself slowly since it's sooo good, but I think I finally need to finish it :D

not sure why but as soon as someone gets called "sweetheart"... i completely lose it??? like? oh my god? dearest cat sebastian i owe you a debt of gratitude <3

(I admit I would be quite a bit further along in this but I went back and re-read about 20ish of the previous pages, so!)

Really though, I am loving this sm! Which I did expect, but it's just so tender & beautiful and Simon is just so unaware of how much Charlie loves him already & my poor sad boy really needs to hear it out loud soon?

& Cat Sebastian confirmed her next book (out 2027) is similar to this one! YAY!

god i am so happy i am re-reading this!!! <3 i just love them so much

simon is making my heart ache like pls just allow yourself to be loved?? it’ll be worth it <3

they finally kissed! THANK GOD

ok so i'm 35 pages in and i just know it's going to be a home-run/hit it out of the park/insanely good type of book for me?? cat sebastian the writer that you are??? my god
