Anthony low-key reads as abusive with how Sven has to walk on eggshells around him and I'm pretty sure that is not intentional lol

Omg this bar scene is so cringey. Is Anthony supposed to be autistic or is he like just the dumbest guy alive?

I'd probably be enjoying this a bit more if i could read it uninterrupted, but it's mostly bland so far? Typically you can read romance novels out of order but there might be vibe stuff I'm not getting bc I haven't. They also just kinda of get along too well so when there is friction it's a bit... unbelievable. I prefer third person writing but this this lacking too much interiority.

I really liked her insight looking back on being dubbed the joke cop for stating how shitty rape jokes in the early aughts were, especially as time has shown how shitty these comedians are irl. It sucks that this is juxtaposed with her super shitty marriage. Like, Lindy, girl, just leave him. Or date Roya. You don't need your husband.

forgot I checked this out on libby lol. Lindy, girl, you're a mess. I'm actually feeling a tiny bit more sympathetic for Aham, gotta remember that fucked up email he sent!! And it may change as it goes on, but really, they both should have just called it quits the first time.

I do relate deeply to her desire to be a martyr tho.

is everyone forgetting that lena dunham lied about knowing for a fact her male friend didn't rape/assault that actress and just lied to cover him? that's the white feminist everyone wants to redeem? If she acknowledges that I'll hold my tongue but until then....maybe just chill out and read some audre lorde lol

These society ones stress me out more than the mystery and murder ones bc I need them to be on the same side!! 😭😭😭

wanted to read the new nate stevenson finally but it's not a graphic novel so now it's gonna be a while before I get to it lol

okay I wasn't loving this book it's been fine but Culver's is a fast food restaurant. What does she mean her dad handed out menus.

Omg this coming out scene with his parents and Ilya is so cheesey...idk if i can finish it lol

just want to continue rereading KJ Charles but I have work and children and america is run by pedophiles lmao god this sucks

Laia is very Katara-coded and i think that's why she is so disliked lol. Which is a shame, esp considering the popularity of SJM's cardboard cutout characters but whatevs.

I sure hope there's not gonna be an arc like Inuyasha constantly upgrading his tetsaiga lol

Really enjoying this. It's fun. If I didn't have kids/dog/work I would be reading more of it more quickly lol

This is genuinely creepy, I can only imagine how it felt reading it when it was first published.

This is aggressively FINE but like. Why is Ginger Spice here like. Name dropped her real name multiple times lmao what

nothing has sounded very appealing lately, not even the rest of my kjc stack. can't believe I let jared get ahead of my in reading le guin :'(

I was annoyed they got rid of the picture book category, but the middle grade too? gca has generally been bad but like come ON.

Wanted something a little mindless to read while kiddo plays video games but idk if i can do the alpha and omega stuff lol

I have three more KJC books to read but I think i need to start weaning myself off

Maybe it's just me or the amount of irl stuff is distracting me but helene is just kinda dumb lol. I think if this wasn't ya and they weren't all late teens I'd enjoy it more.

going through KJC withdrawals

i think the pining is already going to kill me why the fuck do I have to work fuck capitalism.

Maybe it's age or this series specifically but im enjoying the fun of the romantic entanglements much more than I ever liked Edward vs jacob or any shojo love triangle

I'm actually really digging this - it could be because I just LOVE Fiona Hardingham has a narrator or I let enough of the book riot hype rub off.

Someone tell me if Tahir is somehow a z*onist or a cyberbully before I get too invested lol

This is really good tbh! Makes me wonder if it weren't YA would it be more well known?

But those letters Mary wrote got me choked up🥲

Random swipe at Drag Queens for some reason 😒

Okay they're FINALLY TRAINING AND FIGHTING

This isn't terrible but...I'm honestly rereading Comfort Me, Daddy too and this is so bland in comparison. The voice and characters just aren't as strong and feel more like flat caricatures.
