very cute and really solid interpretations. I think they wanted the text to rhyme. That doesn't always work but otherwise a very cute intro to tarot's major arcana

Harry’s ex Claudia is a piece of work.

Picking up but still odd to have so much set up before the inciting incident that is right in the jacket copy?

There’s definitely an audience and I’m glad people are hype about the adaptation but definitely don’t shake out the way I had hoped.

I’m so bummed about all of this. It does persuasion wrong (we care more about new guy) and fake dating wrong (she ends up with old guy). A lot makes sense with the persuasion framework but a lot doesn’t. Was there supposed to be a sequel? Did this start as fanfic but get so removed from source material that knowing about the inspiration makes it more confusing? I have so many questions.

I can see exactly why all of the choices were made here. But they were still bad choices. The book barely cracked 3* on Goodreads and I get why. No one is getting what they want because it’s not persuasion but it’s also not not persuasion.

Not sure about the audio. I know Freddie is endgame because Persiasion but even then introducing Brayden first with way more page time is such a romance faux pas.

Hmm. Really threw hs into the deep end but also lots of info dumping to set up Sara’s character arc. Hmmm

This was so sad in a stomach aching kind of way. Top notch writing and excellent characters but I must admit This Place is Still Beautiful remains my favorite (so far).

Even if you are gone, wherever you are we will be home.

All the way around the sun

This is good but not grabbing me as much This Place is Still Beautiful

This was so fun. I really appreciated Irene’s journey learning to not just feel her feelings but also to talk about them and ask for help. Aiden was the sweetest and best.

I love this

I don’t know how to be good to him when I don’t know how to be good to myself.

I am so stressed out whenever Irene mentions wanting to be an editor when clearly her heart is not in it. Ahhh

This is so he falls first like the most wonderful crime of the year.

I love that Irene is the grumpy one in this grumpy/sunshine

Someone has already fallen before the fake dating even starts.

Real-life shit is hard enough to deal with. I don’t need to give online drama my energy.

Aiden is probably dyslexic (like Irene’s younger brother) but not explicitly confirmed.

No, it’s not his problem. It’s society’s problem. It’s the system.

Lemons and lies. The cuffing game

Be kinder to yourself.

What can I do as your instructor to help you enjoy this class?

Aw. Maybe Dr Kingston isn’t so bad

I don’t know how to impress someone like this.

Perpetual people pleaser indeed.

Charles and Jeannette are the real mvps.
