Love the hashtag system keep up the great reading!
Wishing you the best of luck with your goal Octothorpe Reader & happy reading!(you weren't kidding about loving hashtags 😄)
Scarlet as the protagonist is completely unrelatable. She has no self awareness, keeps want to change her thoughts and actions, but never really tries.Writing is over indulgent. Overcompensates for a hollow plot with over explaining, using unrealistic phrases and complicated emotions. How many times can you use the phrase ..."buttery yellow, buttery gold, buttery syrup?" Oh my word, I actually started cringing every time I picked up.

Oh boy, that doesn't sound good indeed. Not on top of my TBR I guess...
