desperately need my beautiful undergrad roommates to come and tie this book to the wall so i will do my school work pleeeeeease guys i need you again!!!

confession time: when i read something so genuinely romantic i start tearing up. and i am already tearing up a quarter of the way through this book

nothing of importance to say i just thing noa and mozasu would kill a what’s up x beez in the trap tiktok

I was really enjoying this one but I fear it's going downhill

i’ve been enjoying this book a lot but i fear it’s approaching or in the midst of “oh…. that’s not-“ territory. will explain as the situation continues

this writing in this book is how i imagine essays about pomegranates and girlhood and the man i love as a moon that keeps changing sound. there is a reason i do not read such essays.

romance books are so funny because they’ll go on a big rant about body positivity before they finally drop “he BIG she TINY!”

also emily henry Loves making me cry it’s her favorite hobby

“he had this joy in him, this softness, and it took me a long time to realize that didn’t make him dumb”

a few chapters into my most anticipated book of the year and the main character is already driving me crazy……. rainbow rowell turn this ship around please for meeee

i think i may be reading the worst book i’ve ever read in my life. stay tuned for a review/my mental breakdown if/when i can’t bring myself to finish it

i think what makes a truly despicable character is realism. like so many romance novels have an ex character who is cartoonishly evil (love interest has a puppy… ex HATES puppies he kicks them!) and it annoys me. but fiona from Roaming is so insufferable because i KNOW a fiona i HATE a fiona. and as for The Idiot… i KNOW ivan i wish EVERY ivan a terrible day

two defining college experiences… having an existential crisis and developing a crush on a huge enormous loser just because they’re in your class

on one hand, i really like stevie. on the other hand, i also enjoy charles calling her a true crime weirdo and making her sort through personal items associated with the case she’s obsessed with. true crime haters unite!!

love a texas mention in a book where it’s like “this side character lives in texas on his family’s FARM where they raise CATTLE to ride to the LIVESTOCK SHOW and present for a BLUE RIBBON!”

emily henry wrote this book Specifically to make me cry. no we’ve never met and what about it?

absolute tomFOOLERY!!

70 pages left in a 460 page book and we’re STILL acting foolish…

when olivia rodrigo said “just watch as i crucify myself / for some weird, second-string loser who’s not worth mentioning” she was talking about frankie spending hundreds of pages pining over ***

the worst part of a good romance novel is when it makes YOU start to yearn. like mind your own business this isn’t about me!!

tbh my favorite genre of book to pick up is “whatever kaitlyn is reading right now”

this series slaps but unfortunately every book except The Dream Thieves has at least one “UGH. yes, robert, what do you want NOW?” pov

Blue dating Adam but being more interested in Gansey's stuff is giving Ted dating the mother's roommate in that one How I Met Your Mother episode

i've read seven books this year and i've rated SIX of them 3.5...... what is going on and how do i put a stop to it

i love relating to a character and then reading reviews that are like “they are very very annoying.” we love reading representation for the Insufferable Community <3

this man just said “zoo wee mama”… okay rowley jefferson

knocking on wood as i speak but…. we’re back, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

the male love interest is just that drag race line “you’re GORGEOUS, you’re BEAUTIFUL, you look like LINDA EVANGELISTA.” sadly, the only other similarity daniel shares with drag race is that he’s a huge drag to read about
