if this is one of your favorites from the game changers series, go read the puckboys series from eden finely and saxon james

it’s amazing how the quality of writing is already so much better than in game changer

DNF @ 78%

i really feel like i’m intruding on a couple who are trying to make their relationship work without actually trying all that hard

kylie lee baker is made of a stronger stomach than i am - her calling this a fluffy sweet love story is wild

i am 72 pages in and i’m waiting for, like, a bible verse or something bc this reads like a christian author trying to write “worldly” characters who just need to turn to God

“…sorrow is our lot, and at best we can but face it bravely.”

“…that we - I mean all human beings - are connected with this; that the whole world is a work of art; that we are parts of the work of art.”

“I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.”

chapter 28 🤤🤤

i have never read a book where the main character makes the wrong decision EVERY time like jing does

tw: animal death

it’s interesting to see how much of what we consider the foundation and creation of anti racism is truly assimilation. this book opens your eyes to just how intentional we have to be in setting aside colonist assimilation in order to be truly antiracist

i don’t think i’m made for space books but IM TRYING

i think i’m a little confused on the details but the crux is that gideon has no answers as to who she is and how she came to be, but because ninth raised her she is a salve to them and now she is trying to escape.

cont’d: on the other hand, the descriptions of drew getting ready feel like at any moment the author is going to drop “she’s not like other girls.”

van liempt does a good job of creating an eerie atmosphere. they also manage to merge that eeriness w teenage angst so this feels v high school wout sacrificing the overwhelming feeling of “something is wrong,” which can happen when you want a creepy setting but w high school characters.

TW: animal abuse, graphic depictions of violence, gore, feticide

i’m gonna do it. it may go bad but i’m gonna do it.

tw: references to racism and hate crimes

dnf @ 24% so freaking boring omg

this book should be way more of a slow burn. i need more tension & a build up

rebound - 2 stars

this is intense

for fans of moana, the little mermaid, & those that idolize the sea

i think we all want to be remembered after we have died and virginia woolf is allowing her family and friends to be memorialized in her memoirs.

this is kinda weird

“‘We’re staying together,’ he promised. ‘You’re not getting away from me. Never again.’

Only then did she understand what would happen. A one-way trip. A very hard fall.

‘As long as we’re together,’ she said.

“But she was thankful for stupid male ghosts. If they’d let women warriors into the cult, they might have learned some common sense.”
