Though I started this forever ago… week 3 book 3 🤣

Book 2 week 2 😭

Speed reading books this semester for class—week 1 is mystery (and this was on my shelf).

I feel like I’m 80% through this book, so I guess I’m in for a treat?

“His hair was up at least. He’d had to argue with Mrs. Bennet to keep it that way, but in the end she’d conceded.”

Gotta get it out of my system: if this is 1813 London, a person appearing as a lady /would never/ wear their hair down at a ball... 1 big tear shed for being ripped out of the story.

I have to write in words how goddamn smart this book is so early on?? Yes, we know we are in suspense for the other shoe to drop. In the meantime: here’s little flags for you to spot along the way. No neon signs that scream WARNING, but quiet off-putting sentiments and movement. ((Late for the hype train, but better late than never))

This is the kind of depressed ass book I am all about—like, jesus christ, this fictional man needs a hug.

Something about the everything about this book makes me go “THIS ONE FEELS LIKE IT’S GONNA BE GOOD”

Might DNF; I am a picky reader, and though I’m sure this series grows post book 1, idk if I have the patience

Though technically for an assignment, it is a book, and thus it will be counted towards my reading metrics.

Me 10 pages ago: Oh, this is an interesting take on YA dystopian fic.
Me now: PLOT TWIST?? 💀🥊

You did not just introduce a third character perspective… almost halfway through the book…

Listen, everything was fine until the flies started crawling out of tear-ducts.

Brb, gonna re-read something light and come back to this. Teens fighting a war is rough stuff.

My brain cannot handle another metaphor layer, I am but a tired soul.

Tfw you thought you were further than you were in an ebook… bruh.

I keep having to put this thing down. Really feeling the doom of this book through these protags.

Ok, reread book 1, back at it with 2.

Hold up, I was too cocky, I don’t remember what happened in the first one and I did not think this would pick up where the last left off…brb.

Borrowed from library, it sat and expired: I caved and bought a copy, am appreciating the Vibes more this second round.
