WAIT WAS THAT A RED HERRING IM STUPID

THIS IS LIKE AN OG ANNA-MARIE MCLEMORE TWIST

the sorceress and princess metaphor is very roja and blanca-coded lol

May calls her one neurodivergent (possibly autistic or ADHD) daughter her “sensitive little snow child” when she’s overstimulated???? if I were January I’d rather be called a slur 😭🙏

fuck I need someone to slap the foundation off of Ashley Morrigan Kelley but damnit I can’t even say she’s an inaccurate portrayal of a true crime influencer who banks on her fans being reactionaries

“No one knew where two surreally beautiful girls had found such an astonishingly ordinary boy.” That’s just every male/female relationship ESPECIALLY when the woman is more famous, come on

controversial opinion I guess: while this is very flawed (simplistic characters, I don’t think AMM can write rich people), I’m enjoying this so far! Maybe part of that comes from listening to this, though. Some of the writing choices and snark might be grating in text form. (However, the narrator is very unmemorable.)

Some of McLemore’s quirks are peeking through, too, especially their affinity for color.
