Has Marco’s mom ever been aged before?? Seeing her described here as “thirty something” was kind of a gut punch, not gonna lie lmao

😩 can’t believe I just cried about a unicorn at lunch

Having an American character (I assume they’re American because the ship sets out from New York and there aren’t any extra letters being used) say “straightaway” is a dead giveaway the author is not American, lol

SHAME ME

current physical tbr: 569 (out of 843)

This is not marketed as YA but it is very much written like it is. :/

Cassie is an only child! What niece!

Feeling like I just don’t like how this is written. I thought I remembered enjoying Episode 13, and looking back my review is that I did enjoy it, I just didn’t like how it was written. Anyway, feels like I’m slogging through so I’ll probably dnf.

Jesus this author has a thesaurus and she’s not afraid to use it

This book released in 2024 but they keep mentioning how stupid the president is so I figured it wasn’t set in 2024. So, Wednesday November 21st was in 2018, if anyone is wondering.

The speed at which pills work in books is astounding

Really shouldn’t have read the part about her getting a brain scan because she gets headaches the day before I go to get a brain scan because I get headaches 🙃🙃🙃

I get that Breaux Bridge is a real place but damn it’s a tongue twister even in my brain. Try saying it three times fast- bro bridge bro bridge bro bridge

*googles “what is considered part time work in Japan???”*

This guy being a gaiman Stan 🚩🚩🚩

I’ve figured it out! Fletcher’s voice! His character speaks like he’s trying to trick people into believing he’s British

Okay so on one page you have an actual chapter dedicated to an excerpt from this author’s book within the book… and then the very next page begins a new chapter with ANOTHER excerpt from the book????

“but Alastor’s never done any in-person events, launch parties, face-to-face interviews, nada.” I hid a smile; she’d slowly adopted some of my Spanish phrases.


I’m gonna puke

“But a decade in courtrooms had instructed me that anyone was capable of anything”
Instructed??? This is not the right word for this sentence. Where was the editor?!

“The sun was a shameless lie, having burned off most of the fog, but I still couldn’t see Wolf Harbor Island over the horizon.“
A shameless lie??? What does that even mean??? It doesn’t make sense on its own and it makes even less sense contextually

One chapter in and the writing style is already so bad I’m considering giving up

Yeah Sadie sink is very exciting but the author of this play is my friend’s girlfriend and I’m so excited for her

‘“Any recommendations?” he asked politely, which is something people always ask if you work in a bookshop. I could never remember the title of a single book.’


This is the most relatable thing I’ve ever read

Reading this back to back with The Bluest Eye was probably not the best decision for my mental health lmao, gotta take it slow and steady

I already want to scream one chapter in 🙃

Oh man I don’t love how long this is feeling

Sorry I just can’t believe that this couple has been together for 5 years and is MARRIED and is only just now discussing whether they should have kids????? NO

When did he even have time to write all these letters!!!

Just want to emphasize that I am still going! It’s just that I keep deciding to read at night and then I just fall asleep. I am enjoying though!

“Anna stood very still for a few seconds, trying to identify the particular kind of uneasiness she felt,”

I just want I say, I hate “uneasiness.” What happened to “unease”??? When did people stop using unease? Uneasiness is such a mouthful and it’s clunky. Boo
