Thank god I have Frog with me to hold hands and fume about all the people who don't deserve to breathe the same oxygen as Jonathan, otherwise I would gnaw my own hand to the bone in rage 👁👄👁

Scorpion...😳🫠👌😩👀🥰❤️

This one is gonna hurt so bad 🙈

Oooh yes I'm already infatuated with this 🫠🫠
Buddy-read with the sweetest The Reading Frog ❤️🐨🫂

That's abuse, dude.
God, that word makes my skin crawl. It feels totally mismatched with my situation. Like I'm detracting from cases that are more serious, more real.
"Plenty of abuse to go around, folks," I murmur aloud to the dark, empty night.
That can't be what this is.

💔💔💔

GUYS I think I need a punching bag to let all this rage out because that manipulative, gaslighting, subtly abusing piece of shit makes me want to rip things apart 💀💀
Still. If there's a book everyone should read, it's this one. If it could help just a handful to recognise some of the red flags, it deserves to be a required reading material, especially for young adults 💔

These two thicky thicky dumb dumbs are so adorable I can't even, getting cuteness aggression over two idiot hockey players. If they don't kiss in the next few chapters I'm gonna explode 🫪
(Love this feeling hehe ❤️)

You know the feeling of being certain a book is a five-star read, but you're also dreading picking it up again? The story goes deep into nausea-inducing territory. I managed twenty pages today...
It's been a while since a character made me so violently angry. I need to be able to reach into the book and slap this person. Preferably with an iron chair over their head 💀

...oh my god. Fucking hell. I KNEW it was that person. Holy shit this is gonna get MESSY before I see any justice for Owen 😭💔 Oooh this will suck hard before it hopefully gets better...

Probably not something I'm mentally ready for right now, but mood monster pointed and I'm nothing if not its slave. Pray for me 💔

Just know that I'm in PAIN, having to put it down right now 💀 I can feel the cliffhanger coming and I'm preparing my sacrifice to put on the author's altar so she has mercy on me and has book two ready asap 🫪🪦

👁👁
Guys, you know that feeling when you just started The Foxhole Court? The confusion, names, being thrown right in, but there was just something that had you hooked?
I feel it again 😳
May my intuition not betray me 🤞
No sport here, but the plot is already pretty unhinged with gangs and drugs and criminal underbelly....and a friend group fractured by deadly secrets 😳

Everything I am telling you has happened or had happened or will happen.l or is happening. Everything I am telling you is true.
Remember.

🫪 I can't help but like this kind of confusing foreshadowing. It feels like the answers are almost at the tip of my fingers but...not quite there 😳
(look at me, understanding sentences again 😅❤️)

❤️❤️❤️ new favorite hockey romance, hands-down 🥹
RTC soon...this time written in Edinburgh 👁👁

Is it possible to be so in love with the MCs so soon?? 😭 Dylan is so considerate and kind my heart is melting, and I find Henri already so damn relatable my heart hurts 😭❤️❤️
This book is making me excited about reading again, loves 🥹🥹

Aw but that was lovely and sweet, despite the heavier mental health themes. RTC sometime later...I have some catching up with all your reviews yet again 👀❤️
(Is it just me or has life decided to be a little bitch lately? 🤔 I'm like, not much of a fan 🫪😅)

Mr and Mrs Reid don't act like parents who saw their son through a suicide attempt almost two months ago. And maybe that's because they aren't. They've buried it away, hiding the evidence, hoping that a short stay in the hospital and new medication can make whatever happened go away. And they're sitting here, eating dinner, pretending that nothing is wrong.

💔 gotta love incompetent adults

"I'm really struggling with fatigue," he said. "Like, I'm just so tired sometimes I can't get out of bed. Even if I don't feel sick in any other way. No fever, no nausea, but I'm just too tired to do- well, anything."
His doctor, with his fierce energy, only looked at him and shrugged. "Listen, Graham. You're getting over a serious illness."

...unchecked depression, maybe? 🙈 Poor Graham

The face he revealed was dark with blood from lying face down in the water. The top layer of skin was loose and slouching away; a young man's bloated face pressed through beneath. A rust-coloured bubble appeared and popped in the corner of a swollen eye. The smell struck Graham with near physical force.

...bon apetit, anyone? 😳😅 Damn the author has a way with words!

Oh...I don't know what it is about this book, or if my mood contributes, but I'm being hit with some pretty strong childhood nostalgia. You know, curling up hiding under a blanket with a flashlight so I can keep reading.
It's making me tear up, ngl. I love it so far 💙
Have a very cozy day, everyone 🫂

You can't give me such a socially awkward character like Matts and expect me to be normal about them - so, yes I love him, yes he's my stray, no I'm not crying over him what do you mean, my antihistamines just stopped working for a bit. Rude.

Finally locking in ❤️❤️😭😭

This book will give me all the fluff and feels I actually want and need right now so it would be great if real life fucked off so I could actually READ 🫩 This time it's too much formaldehyde fumes making my eyes look like a goddamn albino rabbit and rendering them useless 😑😑

👁️👄👁️
Bro. Nah. WHAT. The last quarter was INSANE?? The author lulled me with a slow pace, then grabbed me by the neck and dragged me down the rollercoaster without letting me breathe. What the hell!
I need to process. And decompress. And assimilate. And...mostly go to sleep. Even though I crave a drink 💀 That page count felt like nothing, woah.

"Look, boy. Every time there's an outbreak the guild requests all sorts of things, barrels of fresh water, coal for the fires, gold to distribute medicine. You know what we got last time? Carts. To haul the bodies. That's it. The king told us to go fuck ourselves an' wasn't shy about it."

Gotta love how it's always the same, be it medieval fantasy, or contemporary reality 🥴

I've always loved stories of the lorelai. Men consider them monsters - but what do they do that is so monstrous? They simply sit on the rocks, naked and singing. If men see their nakedness as an invitation, and their enjoyment as something to be ruined, what fault is that of the lorelai?

💯💯💯

"You will not have him, boy. Not now, not ever. He's safe with us until the day he brings your doom. But I wonder - would you have lost any sleep over this? Would you feel any guilt at all if you'd come in here and slaughtered an innocent child?"
Her dark eyes narrowed.
"Let's find out."

God I love when villains are painted in the shades of gray 🫪

"I thought since they loved me it would be enough."
"You're not Jesus, Demetrius. Don't let them nail you to a cross."

Ufff, there's something about the combo of religious trauma and trans protagonist that hit just right, in the most heartbreaking sense.

He had, in fact, spent his life with men. And if, in those circumstances, one played the fool with other fellows, as he had at school, and college, or had a particular friends, as he had in the army, well, that was only natural. Men had needs.

🤣🤣 Meet Denial, the third MC. Who's gonna tell poor Curtis that he's got game, just not with women? 👁👄👁

"Well, I beg your pardon for imposing myself on you. Next time you may pick your own locks, solve your own problems, and suck your own cock. Good night, Mr. Curtis."

🫪🫪 Daniel da Silva, that's queen behavior and I applaud you 👑👏 Love me a sassy man!

I would love to say I'm enjoying it but the flaws in the writing and character work are starting to overshadow the great unsettling atmosphere 🥲
(also, could Vilda's eyes stop sparkling and glittering? For someone who's supposed to be this quiet, strongly manipulative character, she does nothing but exist and sparkle 🙈)

Trent's voice managed to break through when it rose above the rest to state in a clear and carrying voice that, if she did kill her baby, she should be arrested. And punished.

...aah. Anti-abortion laws now fully implemented. Now I understand the "a (should be) dystopian" 🙈 Very close to where we're all currently heading...

I think the problem, my problem, started when I cast her as the Love Interest in the Coming of Age drama of my life. Confirmation bias did the rest. That's why it took me so long to see her for what she really was, and what I was becoming because of her...Now, here we are. Watching the world burn.[...] All because I fell in love with the antagonist of my own story.

What an opener, damn!! 👀
