Had to get the audiobook to actually finish this. Ok but can we talk about the age gap between cress and Thorne? 16 and 20???? 😬

I don’t know how I’ve made it so far, and I’m also really tempted to just dnf it, but at the same time it feels like I just gotta see it through. Struggling cuz OMG SHES SO STUPID

Hate to say it but I’m bored… will try to skim from now on and/or listen to the audiobook.

Took a hiatus. Frankly this one isn’t living up to my younger self’s expectations. But I’m gonna try to finish it no matter what.

I’m trying so hard. But I just keep getting distracted listening to the audiobook and that’s not normal for me.

Read some reviews talking about how the sisters will walk into a room and describe it within an inch of its life, and then introduce some random mini conflict, and I don’t think I’ll be able to read this book the same way again 😂

Honestly, atp im gonna take a shot everytime there’s a metaphor that pulls me out of the story. Which means I’ll just die of food poisoning 💁🏻‍♀️. Like this one:
“Slipping between worlds had left her feeling like a damp sheet of paper that had been wrung out by rough hands.”

Really good so far! I’m way too curious about how exactly Shireen’s ex betrayed her, but I guess we’ll find out. Also, really loving that her character isn’t super thrilled about suddenly being in the public eye, even though she knows that’s what she signed up for when she got on the reality show.

She had so many horrible people in her life 😭

“Heavenly Father, please grant me patience. And be quick.”

Omg the irony of me starting to read this on Mother’s Day… anyway, it’s so sad all the pressure Jeanette was put under at such a young age.

Liking it so far

The plot thickens…

A little slow, but I’m reading along with an audiobook which is helping. June’s shyness/social anxiety is too real.

An alliance is formed. It’s so weird to think the lockdown was only 4 years ago. This book is reminding me of what that was like.

I support women’s rights, but more importantly, I support women’s wrongs

I get that it’s a mystery novel, but it’s so slow going 😬. And I’m already 2/3rds of the way through

So you’re telling me that this girl who is clearly demisexual, is able to emotionally connect enough with the LI that they have sex the same day they meet? I’m not saying it’s impossible (not trying to invalidate anyone’s experiences), but why constantly bring up her being demi if this one night stand happens fairly early on?
