i’m currently dying laughing at ‘psoriasis of the liver’ how did the editor not catch this one !!!

this is horribly boring

i need a sci fi novel injected into my veins IMMEDIATELY

girl take a bath!!!

And then someone knocked at the door!! Oh the horror!! not the door!

When we were in high school asking the religion teacher “how far is too far” no one ever mentioned gland biting, so bite on i say!! bite on celibacy boy!!

Ada : “what is it about that widow?? she’s so mysteriously HOT, and it REALLY bothers me"

'would you still love me if i was a worm' trend, but it’s goo instead of worm

someone needs to tell Riley Sager that you can build atmosphere without prattling on about nothing for 15 pages…😀

“I hope you won’t waste more of my time.”
“You can’t do this.”
“No? Why not?”

Maya is on her brat summer vacation!!!

im ready for this to end

geez this book does not do subtle.

Ro cracks me up. Eye-rolling at the theater undergrads, but then saying the most pretentious shit known to man.

ok i feel like we are getting somewhere, finally!!

“She looks like a hot young professor on the first day of class.”
i love this for Immy 😭 sry for neglecting my buddy reads but this one has me firmly in its gripssss.

every type of grief is valid: some of us cry, some of us don’t, and some of us kiss a rando in the back of the Walgreens maybe? not sure i’m great at understanding poetry

OMG run awayyyy Poppy plzzzz

chapter 20 stupid contrived drama boooooo

i find their conversations to be intensely boring. i just feel like we are lacking character depth all around

ok rereading the blurb and realizing Hart is the love interest. because I started to picture him as an old dude lol

ok the bit where Frank starts listing hip young people stuff actually made me laugh.

in which frank is a major A-hole

don’t this girlie know not to do the bidding of a magical self writing book ?? i personally would not have lit that candle 👀

ok, this has picked up since the first chapter! There's some good analysis here, but it needs editing for sure. Her thoughts still seem very scattered without transitions or common themes to string it all together.

whew! that 1st chapter is all over the place. i’m getting the vibe that the author is a really smart academic, but maybe not the best writer. I’m ready for some juicier observations and insights!

i’m genuinely amused by this bit of fictional lore: Watch Hill is actually the highest point in Louisiana, but the locals have successfully kept it a secret 🤫 Not the Mount Driskill hate !!

Whitney getting absolutely smashed at the ball is icon behavior.

the betrothal reveal in the study was everything!! what a vivid scene. the drama! the theater! i hope clayton gets the opportunity to kill the awful shitty dad

Nicki digging his friend-zone hole even deeper… YIKES
