Wait… so Octavia might not have been hiding under the floor at all, but in a closet?? 😳 Okay, I retract what I said—confused. They kept her hidden… for years?? Girl, that is intense.

Damn! So they’re experimenting on children—wrong, horrifying—but Clark’s parents did it because the vice-chancellor said to, or Clarke would die 😳 Talk about psychological… hello, trolley problem vibes! It’s so wrong, but if not them, someone else would.

Okay, I’m sorry, but I have to make this joke once because of the title: I’ve made it to page 100 of The 100. I’m so socially awkward I can’t even say it properly, but those who get it… get it 😭😂 I’m literally laughing hysterically on my own.

Okay, let me shut up and just read the book 😅 Clarke and Bellamy don’t need to end up together in the first book—or first 20 chapters. I keep wanting things fast because I watched the show, but this is different. I don’t know who lives, who dies, which new characters appear… maybe Clarke and Bellamy aren’t even right. Let me just enjoy the ride!

h my god… Clarke and Wells were a full-blown couple?? 😳 I know Clarke is mad at him, but Wells, you better tell her what you did to protect her! Nobody’s trying to kill each other yet—which is crazy, because by episode 2 of S1, they were at each other minutes in. Also… if Wells did something to protect Clarke and she forgives him, how are Clarke and Bellamy gonna end up together?? 😭

Okay, so Glass gets pardoned just like that because her mom handled it?? Crazy 😳 I still need to know what she did—please tell me by the end of the book! Luke… I know you still want her. If you knew, you’d forgive her, even if you still love Camille. Also, insane that the co-chancellor pardoned her. Glass surviving? Wild. Don’t mess it up, girl.

kay, the book is definitely different from the show. Bellamy’s flirting already—asking Clarke her relationship status “just to know about all the pretty girls on Earth”? Excuse me, sir 😏 Show Bellamy would never say that right at the start. I’m here hoping for some enemies-to-lovers push and pull, even if it’s not there… but okay, we’ll see.

Okay… so Octavia didn’t need to be hidden under the floor, but having more than one kid is still frowned upon. She got confined for trying to feed hungry kids—fits her character. And yes, I keep comparing to the show 😅 Also… I feel bad for Wells again. Always hated without anyone knowing why. If he dies before Clarke finds out… I’ll be devastated 😭

Not saying a relationship gives you personality, though it can shape you—good or bad—but I’m just shook Wells and Clarke were a couple, or had couple-y hints: holding hands, resting heads on shoulders, forehead kisses, talking first dates… Show Wells is literally rolling around in his grave 😳💀

Wait a second! Why are we losing Talia?? Why?? We just met her! She’s new! Why are we losing characters I haven’t even had a chance to get to know?? Please, Talia, breathe… breathe for me, girl
