I don't like the audiobook narrator's reading style 😭😭

But... YA ISN'T A GENRE ughhhhh
How come authors who write YA do this???

"She knows as well as we do why pop' doesn't have dogs on the farm. [...] The heartbreak when they go is too much."
Patrick Ness, just when I thought I'd gotten over it...

"- Ca existe pour de vrai, tu crois, le paradis?
- Pour les mamans, sûrement !"

"It's time for you to see / that you are never alone, / that asexuality / can be a word that feels like home."

Icarus

The Queer Girl Is Going To Be Okay has a lot of great points: queer MCs including a trans female MC and sapphic characters, talking about being queer in this world. There's a focus on friendships, sorority, which I love!
And yet I just couldn't quite get into it, I couldn't quite care so much about any of them.
Maybe the documentary plot could have been a bit more developed?

"Just enough shadows under her dark brown eyes to make her interesting" ... What's that supposed to mean? If you're healthy, without bags under your eyes, you're not interesting?

Am I the only one who struggles with characters falling in love after a few hours? And despite ghosting each other and not speaking for 364 days, they're still "in love"?

For the moment the book seems to be set so much more in the past than in the present ... Oh, and where are Kaz and Inej's POVs ???

The way our MC describes how he felt when he discovered what asexuality was and how he didn't feel broken anymore hits hard 🥹

Eeer... Not much is actually happening... 🙄

A little torn so far... Because the blurb sounds great, I really want to read about this non verbal gender non conforming teen. But I'm really not vibing with the writing, don't like it at all...

Oh my goddd just accept this wonderful man who just wants to love you like no one else will FFS!!!!

Shut this is addictively good

We have a biromantic asexual side character !!!! I'm emotional

I'm so fed up of books that have a lot of French words in them but a narrator who can't pronounce a single word correctly.

I feel like this could be fun and entertaining but I'm pretty sure the average narrator is boring me out... ouch

Kinda bored tbh

Dark Rise put me in a reading slump and there's only one way to get out of it: AFTG rererererereread

Is this me enjoying fantasy for the first time in...years? Yes.

:(

Not sure why I'm forcing myself through mean people who can't be bothered to communicate and try and.understand each other

Don't judge, so many of us are rereading before April 23

“Finally he realized: Starting my day with Chloe Brown feels like starting my day in front of a canvas.”
UGHHHHH

You know, I think i've realised that you can learn to appreciate a good romance only once you've lived one.

Whoops, I was enjoying it but didn't read it quick enough before the arc expired (i guess that's what happened...). Lesson learned!
