Luce Aeterna’s Reviews > The Ballad of Ronan McCoy > Status Update

I really wanted to finish it but I can't read any words anymore because I'm sobbing so much

Oh no my book is getting sad again
I thought I'd push through as much as possible today and finish at least one book in September 😭

"Yes," I said, "we are the same. We always will be."
Ronan lifted his hand, not quite able to reach mine, so I sat forward and held his.
"And nothing," I said, "will ever change that."

i have seldom read a book that conveys teenage awkwardness that well

I didn't expect a Finding Nemo reference in this book 🐠

i'm still crying but it's less ouch and more aww now 💔❤️‍🩹

I have a literal lump in my throat from reading the last chapter idk if it's healthy for me to read this rn so I'll take it slow but I also really wanna know how it continues aaaaa

When this book doesn't break my heart it makes me want to scream at dad being super cringe in front of son's crush, leave the boy alone, so what if he went to see her Christmas play twice a day? He deserves some nice things. 😤

I need to take a break, actually, wouldn't recommend reading this on a "your mental health is buried in the cemetery" day.

Update: I cried in public
