The fear that enters my heart when I realize that one of these over-hyped stupid romance novels is actually really well written AND juicy 😩

My reputation as an intellectual is in TATTERS

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

god the sudden obsession with having a baby during the last third of this book is WEIRD 🤢 you can be a family without producing spawn btw, not sure why that's a hard concept to grasp in 2025 yet here we are!

There is NO universe in which James is the top and I REFUSE to believe otherwise!!!!

Let me tell you what, if my groomsmen skipped my wedding just to sit in a room and wait for a woman to give birth (and not help in any way) I would be pissed. Like! Y'all are just sitting around getting drunk!! The baby took most of the day to get there ANY WAY!

oh my GOD she's such a fuckboi, I ADORE her.

Me SCREAMING at Esen this whole time: YOU IN DANGER GIRL

Oh girl the Poppy War could NEVER

This might be the WORST audiobook I have ever heard. One of these people literally sounds like she's grinding her teeth with every word in an effort to sound edgy.

Long ago, the world lived together with cats in harmony... then everything changed when the Judeo-Christians attacked 😩

I actually don't think I've ever wanted to put a character in a wood chipper more than Konstantin actually

the official map of panem just dropped and you're telling me district 12 is a DEEP red state? hm not me low-key sympathizing with the capitol on this one fam....

At first my biggest qualm with this book was that it felt like it was written at a way lower reading level than the others... but then I looked at these reviews and realized maybe that was necessary 💀

I need Haymitch to be humbled IMMEDIATELY.

Suzanne saw us thirsting after Snow and said "y'all will get nuanced metaphors back when you've learned how to behave!"

"Forced to face the actual consequences of her actions, she decides that she would rather die."

Girl me too the fuck

Have men ever considered just leaving women alone??? Ever??? Inaction is SO easy!!!

"it's not a tunnel, it's a *tower*"

bitch if you don't shut the hell up

I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this

[chanting] gay bodice ripper? gay bodice ripper. gAY BODICE RIPPER!!! GAY BODICE RIPPER!!!!!!!!!!

Not CANONICAL royal nipple clamps 😂

About halfway through this book I realized it's a bodice ripper set in the American West; no wonder I love it!

I knew I was going to love this book when the author perfectly describes the feeling of knowing an obnoxious bisexual with colored hair who is dating a man as "she just wants people to know".

HELP WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME KICK MY FEET AND GIGGLE OH NO

Rami/Robin: teehee we love our friend group so much
Letty: 🙂
Rami/Robin: oh my god, why won't this bitch shut up
Letty: 🙃

So romantic languages are less potent because they're used more, and other non-white languages are more powerful because they're less utilized? But won't those other languages eventually be used up too once they are widely translated?

Rami/Robin: How DARE the British act so superior?
ALSO Rami/Robin: Anyway our cultures are better than everyone else's and here's why.

I can't stop thinking about how "Protagonist recites worldbuilding/lore out loud when she's stressed" is the most impressively lazy and awkward method of exposition I've ever seen. I don't even know who to hate more, the audacity of this author or the delusions of these 5 star reviews? Are y'all smoking crack?
