it’s the first time that i struggle reading an Emily Henry novel, and it’s not just because the latest heatwave has exhausted me...

halfway through this, it’s still hilarious to me that the founders of the main city in this imaginary world had the *audacity* to call it TIRAN like oopsie maybe that’s a bit of a gaveaway, innit? and yet no one seems to realise they live in the absolute most evil place ever created. this novel truly has some deeply uncomfortable and disturbing truths to say, goddamn

Im sorry but who the hell edited this novel? the number of sentences that make no sense that i keep finding is truly alarming

elle frôle le sujet de la religion et de la classe sociale dans ses recherches mais on sent que ça reste un truc dont elle veut pas trop s'approcher. à 70 pages de la fin, il va falloir y aller, bichette

Hyper difficile de connecter avec l'histoire pour moi jusqu'à présent parce que l'autrice garde tellement de distance. et puis les histoires d'immenses familles catho bourgeoises, bon... je suis sans doute pleine de préjugés mais ça me rebute sincèrement

started very friday night lights but now starting to turn netflix 13 reasons why and i'm not sure im loving this transition

are benji and kevin... you know...?

this is the third book that i start and just get bored of around the midway point, i'm in HELL (but i refuse to DNF for the moment, i'll just... start something else i guess.......)

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but so far i'm very unimpressed

please let this not have a fight club plot twist, i beg

lmao what the fuckkkkkk 👁👄👁

oh boy, this is veeeeeery overwrought

i started reading this and had no idea a movie adaptation was planned and now i see there's A TRAILER???? am i magic?

the magic and excitment of reading the first two books in a frenzy last year is totally gone now. especially because i *know* this isn't going ro end the way i want and i feel so much resentment about it

i was very pumped to branch out and read this but it turns out sci-fi might not be my jam at all. this is quite science-y and the writing is just... not it. the dialogue is especially clunky. i'm gonna keep an open mind and power through but yeah, not convinced at all so far

fucking devastation, jesus christ. i want to go back to the beginning of the novel and re-read the nice, happy bits, god!!!!!

fearing i am having an Internalized Misogyny moment because i dislike sadie so much (whereas i would probably die for sam)

i'm mad because sadie reminds me of marianne in normal people and that's not a good thing at all

je ne fais que me retenir de pleurer de frustration, dégoût et désarroi, c'est : CHAUD

marx, though 👁👄👁

i'm getting real A Little Life vibes from this from the writing, the setting, the characters (especially Sam who's a little reminiscent of Jude St. Francis) and their relationships. this is great because i'm always looking to recreate the feeling i got from first reading A Little Life but also does not bode well in terms of potential heartbreak...
