NOBODY sets up tension like Tahereh Mafi, I’m SICK RN

Okay how did we go from the slowest pace to this?? My heart is GOING PITTER PATTER feel like I could throw up

Saw new Tahereh Mafi and it was a Persian story?! Had to purchase immediately and it’s incredible??

It’s the butterfly-inducing romance I’ve missed reading so much and I’m living 🗣

Very poetic, not as dialogue driven as I prefer but so beautiful

I’m trying to get into The Spanish Love Deception because everyone swears it’s top tier romcom and I need that, but the first chapter is quite unbearable… it’s giving very much fanfiction.net

This is book is objectively good: plot on 100, beautiful writing, just as whimsical as Lewis Carrol… I’m just not not enjoying it anymore 😭 i spoiled the end for myself (incredible btw) I’ve gotten the vibe of the story, so now I’m finding it hard to finish.

I’m sick of romance novels at this point but I’ve been WAITING for Beth O’Leary to save the genre again for so long!

*mini spoiler* I’m so frustrated at how Michael is so certain his feelings are one sided when Stella LITERALLY TOLD HIM she’s obsessed with him like 8 scenes ago.

This kinda sucks... when is the plot going to MOVE?

Oh man this breakup is brutal enough to make me cry

Quite sadistic to put out a book with such amazing and detailed descriptions of like a million vacations in the midst of a global pandemic, but hooray escapism!!

I’ve been so hesitant to read this but how could
I ever have doubted my favourite weaver of tales?? Veronica Rossi is my champion 😤

Ugh what a HORRIBLY paced romance too!! He LOVES her??? They’ve had a total of 3 meaningful, MOSTLY NONVERBAL exchanges

The pacing is killing me

PLEASE, anyone who has read and loved Strange the Dreamer, will I like it if I didn't like Daughter of Smoke and Bone? I'm so desperately curious but so, so wary.

“...you fought beside him the entire battle”
“How could I not when I can help?”

BITCH you did not help you left halfway to get dicked down while people stood guard I cannot believe my EYES at how hilarious this book is

I HATE THIS 😭😭😭 there is a literal battle going on and they’re making out in a carriage just outside of it?!?!!!

This is so weird 😭😭😭😭 how have this many people read it and rated it well? It’s giving me very much fanfiction.net 😩

“I think you’re heartmates” sent me into ORBIT 😭 what is it with paranormal fiction and coming up with new ways to justify irrational infatuation. You’ll say anything but soulmates won’t you? 😂😂😂

this is the kind of read that is purely for entertainment 😭 there is no substance, the pacing is ridiculous, I cannot stop rolling my eyes, but shit is simultaneously intriguing and hilarious

I already know what’s coming and frankly, the fact that we’re this far along and it hasn’t happened yet is really taking away from the drama

Over 200 pages with no real movement in the plot... PLEASEEEE pick up

(On her mother’s photography) “She’d be in some African desert, shooting starvation or violence or political unrest...”

We love (!!!) casual sweeping statements about a whole continent that perpetuate the worst stereotypes 🤪

I see the appeal and I am enjoying it but I can’t help but wish it was written with more... craft? The content has more depth than the writing.

I don't know if this book is supposed to be funny but I'm already laughing:

"I once asked my mother, Janean, why she keeps a picture of Mother Theresa on our living room wall.

'That bitch was a fraud,' she said."

How is this rated so highly when halfway through nothing has happened and the world building is STILL confusing and info-dumpy

the codependency here is off the rails but am I discomforted? too many cute moments to tell
