I know this book is a beloved classic and I understand why, but why is it sooooo boring? I need someone to hype me up to get through the second half. It’s turning into a slog.

Talking Queer Books book club read for Feb 2026 @ Talking Leaves

Fine I’ll book a flight to Ireland.

The way I am in love with Samantha Brentmoor….

Now all of a sudden there’s dual POV?? This is comical

So bad. Everything. Bad.

2 chapters in and this girl already f*cked everything up. I’m convinced she doesn’t have any brains to think for herself.

Not vampires as a species being introduced randomly 2/3 of the way into this book…… I so want to DNF, but people obsess over Jacks and I don’t understand why so I’m going to stick around until I do.

Meh.

One of the best things in my life right now, you ask? When Teddy Hamilton slips in a “good girl.” IYKYK.

The timeline shifts are confusing.

I had a Yash (as I know him to be at this point in this story) once. I used to think “if only he was different, we could work.” Which is the most moronic thing anyone could ever think. Because if he WAS different, I probably wouldn’t have loved him at all.

“What’s going on?”
“I’ve made all the wrong choices.”

A few poems a day keeps the existential dread at bay.

This is my favorite collection from MO I think. And it’s exactly what I need right now.

Omfg this might be the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to.

IMMEDIATE chemistry. I’m so glad I chose to audiobook this one.

We love an antiracist hockey king.

I am kicking my feet with excitement of getting to watch Henrik fall HARD into love. There’s a lot of emotional depth here.

This is the worst and most immature written sex I’ve ever read. It’s SO BAD. And I’ve read a lot of freaky yet mediocre fanfic…

Shane is pretty insufferable here imo.

I know literally nothing about these guys and they know the same amount about each other. Yet they’re already obsessed… eek. I miss Ilya.

I was today years old when I discovered that Emily Rath practically stole the names of her Jacksonville Rays teammates from this book……

“Alright, Marianne, are ye watchin?” Fck I am loving this book.

This took a turn…….

“Should I be comforting him? What if I slip up? What if I say something like ‘don’t worry Jeff, life is meaningless. It’s strange and inexplicable that we exist to begin with. We are all basically dead already in the grand scheme of things, and our feelings of sadness are pointless. They are just how our meat sacks react to the chemicals in our bodies.’”

“I am an animal, brought into existence without my consent, left scrounging to get by.”

“Nothing is new with Grace, or ever will be again.” Lollllllll
