Do beards really have the ability to hide someone's facial expressions? 🤔🤔🤔

OMG NOT EVEN A PARAGRAPH LATER- this might cause me to DNF if it continues:

"It'll pack more if a punch if Hannah and I end in the same key instead of doing harmony".

I assume you mean pitch. Otherwise, this school's pre-reqs for music majors and its own education of them is abysmal and I cannot imagine wtf kind of cacophony this song they are singing sounds like.

Good lord. Can Hannah throat sing? If not, telling her to SING an E Major chords tells me the author knows literally nothing about music..

For reference, this is what she is being asked to sing - all 3 notes at once...

WHOA - now THAT'S a twist!! First one in many many years I didn't see coming at all!

Very good so far. Incredible how much has happened already and curious to see where it's going.

I have a type.

Oh.....thaaaaaaaaaat's why the book continues past the normal point....eeeeeeeeek

Legal name change is an option....?

Yeah..... nobody actually talks like this, right? Even if you are a 20-something guy...

"Seeing our attention on him, Mortimer began thrashing around as if he were auditioning for a spot on the Olympic break dancing team." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Finished the"Unbound" side - largely enjoyable. Much better than the other novella ofhers I read, that's for sure. Thankfully, she focuses more on the story and not the spicy stuff (there's not much) and that makes such a short story much better.

Why does the narrator for the MMC sound so angry ALL the time? Like, I get he's the broody type or whatever, but when he is having fun times in the shower with the FMC, he like....sounds violently pissed about it all...it's not giving passion; it's giving deranged.

It's not "just like old times" of you've only known someone got like a month or two.

Also, wtf with this scene of just absolutely DRAGGING the FMC's looks? And that anyone on the crowd even hesitated before supporting her? F*ck those people.

Also, pretty sure Jack gave her the leather necklace because he was tired of looking like a late 90s fashion victim.

Uh, the literal definition of telling and not showing....

Uh wut? You might love him? Based on what? How? When did this happen?? I see a 1 star in the future...

What is it with characters just immediately jumping to the most wild conclusion that something magical is happening to them despite the fact that we are to understand that this is not a world in which any of this is normal for anyone, and then they believe this conclusion they've reached instantly with little-to-no basic scrutiny?

This drives me insane. I suspect its to get the plot moving ASAP, but it irks me.

This man is an idiot.

Sorry, but smoking is not hot. Its pretty gross, actually, and is an immediate turn-off for me. Ruins some of the MMC for me, as I would never be interested in someone who smokes.

Hmmmm...I don't like it as much as Good Spirits so far - pretty sure that one is on my "best of the best" shelf

A woman who wants to be respected for who she is, but is willing to basically have a s×x bet in order to win a contract with a publisher....

She's drunk. This is not ethical. Wtf. (a bet, and its terms, not anything else, fyi)

The picture of "the governess and the wicked fae..." the FMC exoticization of the fae is really bothering me and I'm not even that far in - is there going to be, like, a redemption arc? I....did the author not read their own work and hear how it sounds? It's reading privileged white girl writes a romance novel full of stereotypes about a different ....erm....group of people...is this like inception?

Oh yiiiiiiikes. The FMC wrote a book about a human and fae couple, yet admits she didn't know anything about the fae before writing it, or even before going to the place wherever she is?

And she wonders to herself if a fae in the shape of a pine marten would be offended if she asked to pet them....


Good lord....i got the ick already....we'll see how far I make it.

Pretty sure I already know what / who the aggressor is now...

I think it's irritating and poor writing technique to keep referring to a conversation that the MC had with a missing person, yet not give us any idea what that convo was about, sidestepping doing so by just saying she "told person X about the convo they had" - this is clearly going to be some kind of big reveal, but just a heads up, this ISN'T how foreshadowing is supposed to be done 🙄

Hey, was the MCs book about 4 best friends who loved each other so much??? (heavy sarcasm)

Uh hard pass, man with a temper tantrum because he can't just say what he wants 🙄

Please stop cleaning this adult man's glasses....

Gonna go ahead and say that if you can find it in Google search results, it's not that secret of a society 🙄
