Ahhh time to add Gabriel Emerson to the list of damaged-rich-hot men who had tragic childhoods and ended up being adopted. Very Christian Grey.

Ok why are we perpetuating the myth that men in power are frequently falsely accused of sexual misconduct???? Hmmmmm???? Good I hate this trope it is so problematic

This is so booooooring

Nehemia nooooooo

Okay so I figured out why some sex scenes between rhysand and feyre make me go yeeeeeeesssss and others ew. It’s because when the sex actually advances the plot and has a REASON for existing, it’s fantastic. But when it’s there for absolutely no reason (like when feyre returns to the night court), it just makes me uncomfortable.

Rhysand>>>>> Tamlin

Ok feyre needs to stop saying “my bowels turned watery” THIS IS THE THIRD TIME

Lucien is the ultimate third wheel

Let’s get ready for a threesooooooooome

Ohhh damn Hawk is about to betray Poppy isn’t he.

Here are the phrases that are waaaay too overused in this book:
“Big girl socks on”
“Kulti waited [blank amount of time] before responding.”
“The German” like what???

So I’m an atheist so not sure how much I’m going to enjoy this but I need to listen to a historical romance in a transatlantic accent so here I am.

Ok did she just call abortion “ugly and wicked??” This book does not age well. Also I’m getting tired of the blatant sexism

How many times does this girl have to remind us she had feelings for this guy, once upon a time?? We get it, u had regrettable feelings. Otherwise, love it :)

I love Adele’s attitude but she needs more depth?

“She had seen this kind of behavior in almost every police force she had ever dealt with.

No matter what, these guys always, always covered for each other.”

Jesus this is hitting a little too close to home, considering what’s going on in America right now.

I told myself I don’t do romance novels where cheating is a plot point but Colleen Hoover made me do it

Ah and now we’ve got some emotional cheating between Clara and Miller. That was sneaky, Colleen

Ugh god I’m nauseated. I HATE cheating. Jenny and Chris are horrible people

Considering how the time frame of this book has literally no effect on the plot, I’m guessing it’s because the morning after pill wasn’t around until 1999. Gross

“She wasn’t perfect anymore.” Ugh this is like a crappy Lolita spin off

“AP History is tedious.” Uuuuummmm?? Oh Hawkins, you shop really get your self an editor. One who knows that AP History is not a real class. European History? US History? Those actually exist

How does Isabella know the patterns of domestic abuse but not what chamber music or Pinot Grigio is?

You’re upset you’ve genuinely frightened your lover with your violent behavior towards her. What do you do? Scream and yell, then stomp out of the room and slam the door shut when u realize screaming and yelling didn’t help

Strangulation? Keeping her sequestered in an apartment? Using fear to control? Intimidation? Dubious consent? Make no mistake; if this was under “normal” relationship circumstances, it would be classified as an abusive relationship. I’m not convinced Jasinda Wilder is aware of this.

Reading this for a second time and realizing just how problematic it is. Caleb essentially routinely rapes “X.” He’s also homophobic. I thought I liked Jonathan but he’s a big fat misogynist. Calling the girls he has sex w “sluts in slutty dresses.” Yet he gets the name “playboy.” From X! The fact that she is complacent in this is the most infuriating.
