I hope they make a movie out of this one day

This book is so well done that it’s hard to keep putting it down so I can be productive ahhh

This book is surprising me on the details and how well done it is

I just learned what the Green Book is and I’m willing to bet Google and Apple Maps along with Yelp stole the idea from that which was published in 1933 for Black Motorists to find safe places they could go and routes to avoid sundown towns. I love this inclusive detail in the text as it shows contrast between Vernice and Annie’s lives as well as helps us learn more about historical literature.

Lots of cash Juan me life lessons in the first three chapters

Told from the perspectives of Vernice and Annie, this story transcends the traditional family and shows us what it’s like to come from broken homes raised by relatives while dealing with loss and grief. Very well written first chapter.

Eli keeps pondering what he’s missing and boy oh boy I’m just shooting in the dark and going with empathy because this guy has red flag narcissist written all over himself. I do appreciate that neither side seem to be a true villain or true hero as both sides have done wrong and fall in the morally gray category, with one being more violent than the other.

Absolutely loving this author and their attention to smaller details that make the story much more interesting such as detail about the superpowers and how they can affect the characters. Very good world building from a dark academia vibe to post criminal revenge novel. Morally grey main character.

This book has a compelling character list already and im excited to see where this goes

Okay so handmaids tale meets only fans type girls from Australia who get taken to a refinement camp that is more of a torture place and something about Hardings and not coming back has the people in charge all anxious and they say they’re all stuck there now? Idk it’s written VERY chaotically when trying to follow along what’s going on. It’s not bad, buts it’s not presented well.

And now it has become some sort of ominous warning to sex workers and women who date for power and money somehow leading them into their weird handmaids tale type situation.

It’s giving Handmaid’s Tale vibes so far but less structured and more torture based. It reads almost conversational but attempting to be movie at the same time. The perspectives are a little sporadic and kind of hard to follow, but the writing and imagery is interesting.

To answer Will’s question about how Jada
met Gigi, that’s really crappy to do that to someone especially someone you’re about to marry who’s meeting an important family member for the first time. The embarrassment she had to feel outweighs the morsel of humor that could have been obtained from that set up.

Good chapter though.
