today’s reading day was harddd. ik something bad’s gonna happen 😭 learning im not a fan of medical stuff in my books, and the memory of issac coming in that window? like a punch to the chest. this is so well written, and truly makes me feel, just not sure if the content is what i would go for again.

the book actually brought a bit of heat to my chest today, but i’ve realized something. i’m deeply invested in the story of issac and laniah, but not of issac or laniah, which is why i quickly deflated when she went back home. 😭 reading about a fake long distance relationship when i don’t particularly love/root for the characters individually is…difficult. again, beautiful writing, im just not connected.

it’s so cute — ugh i’m so torn, some parts are 3 stars and some are 4. like i love the slips of intimacy we’re seeing as the characters grow closer together. i’m jus a big fan of that depth, and it kinda takes a bit to get there in this boom for me.

love lex, i’m still a little bored idk why 😕. maybe im just in the mood for more drama. like it’s so so well written, it just feels like watching a vlog..like i have to be in the moooood for a vlog. but i’m anti dnf so forward we shall go.

i’m not the most in love with the story line, especially if it’s finna get sad like i think, but it’s soooo well written (minus the smut, i hate smut me thinks 😔)

i don’t know why but i feel so disconnected 😭 like idk if it’s my small town trauma standing in the way of me loving the ambience but everything feels dull — and it’s very very well written, but the story itself idk 🥲

it’s cute so far — i don’t feel super connected yet since a lot of the circumstances feel distant from me (grief, small town, etc.).
