Yo this book sucks. You’re telling me we won—defeated a tormentor of 12 years because a piece of glass conveniently fell near the FMC? K thanks.

“I think you’re deluded in even believing there’s such thing as an objective truth”

I know the author is trying to say that truth, regardless of its objectivity, has political ramifications. However, this should be written better bc when I first read it, I bursted out laughing.

This woman has been in architecture school for like not even a semester, is failing her classes, but is asked to design a whole manor ok then.

Ah yes, another “enemies to lovers but it’s not really enemies, it’s just that the FMC has an ounce of beef and then turns it to many pounds of beef for no warranted reason and becomes insufferable towards the MMC for most of the book and the MMC puts up with it bc he has to” 🤨👍🏻

I fear that I’ve figured out a plot twist already and I hate how painfully obvious it is.

*in a world where women can’t study literature*

*oh btw, the nation’s best author is kinda sus, he takes no interviews, no one has a good picture of him, his name is androgynous, and the FMC is obsessed with them. Nothing suspicious here* 👍🏻

Take a shot every time this FMC cries gosh dang - it’s making me low key anxious like

Girl why are we crying? Should I be crying?

“Yet Effy found herself half in love with the Fairy King sometimes, too. The tender belly of his cruelty made her heart flutter. There was an intimacy to all violence, she supposed. The better you knew someone, the more terribly you could hurt them”

…I beg your finest pardon?
