⋆. 𐙚 ˚ may botm discussion: releasing 10 by chloe walsh

[erin ۶ৎ]

is anyone else really scared for this book? 😭

[madi 🎸]

im actually so nervous bc this could ruin lizzie for me

[mar ۶ৎ]

I am scared I won't like it as such as the other books

[erin ۶ৎ]

@madi i feel like it could make or break her character for me. i’m personally a lizzie “hater” (not fully, and i’m not insane, but i suppose that’s the term the fandom gives people who don’t like her) so i feel like seeing the way her mind operates could either make me like her, or hate her even more.

[erin ۶ৎ]

also, i’ve been scrolling through the BoT reddit sub and i’ve seen theories that lizzie might get pregnant but then have a miscarriage or the baby might be stillborn. because there’s a song on the playlist about how they all go to a funeral, so what if it’s the baby’s and not hughie’s like everyone’s guessing? 🫣🤷‍♀️

[erin ۶ৎ]

@mar agreed

[madi 🎸]

@erin could it be her sisters if they go back in time like the other books?

[erin ۶ৎ]

@madi maybe, but i think was before the releasing 10 announcement (when we still thought that claiming 10 was coming first) so she would’ve already been dead then, hence the theories of hugh dying.

[♡⋆˚Caitlin ୨୧˚⋆]

What are everyone's thoughts so far bc rn so much is happening and idk what to think

[erin ۶ৎ]

idrk i’m only 40% (on kindle it says im on page 376) but i just…it’s just so much that i’m finding it so hard to process

[♡⋆˚Caitlin ୨୧˚⋆]

I honestly don't know how i'm going to rate it, i know the series is dark but this just feels like too much

[Bri :)]

The book is coming in the mail for me tdy so I hope I like it but I went to Barnes yesterday and they were sold out

[mia💗 (break)]

hey if anyone wants to talk about it (like in depth) pls dm me!! I really need to rant abt this one

[mar ۶ৎ]

YES PLEASE

[♡⋆˚Caitlin ୨୧˚⋆]

Omg same but i'm only on page 430 so i will have to rant as i read

[Bri :)]

I js finished it like an hour ago help what was that I wasn’t prepared 😭😭😭

[erin ۶ৎ]

@Caitlin agreed! this book just seems far too dark compared to the rest of the series

[♡⋆˚Caitlin ୨୧˚⋆]

Hey i know it's not may anymore but i have a question about this book that's really been confusing me. Do you guys think lizzie cheated on hugh or not because i see some people saying she did cheat on him then others saying because she was manic, drunk and lowkey thought it was hugh that it wasn't actually cheating. What do u guys make of the situation?

[mia💗 (break)]

I don’t think she knew what she was doing and I think to an extent Hughie knows that too and I think Pierce knew that she wasn’t OK either and he still did it which is why I dislike Pierce

[erin ۶ৎ]

@Caitlin Pierce 100% sexually assaulted her. She genuinely actually thought it was Hugh who was doing that to her, not Pierce, and Pierce knew that she thought it was Hugh, and still didn’t stop.
I think Hugh finding out that Pierce did that to her will cause him a lot of grief in C10, and will probably be a very big plot point for both of them.

[isabella]

hey guys I need your help, because I really want to read this book and continue the series but I've heard a lot of people say it's really dark and depressing? so what do you guys say, is it worth reading the book?

[mar ۶ৎ]

Okay but I did feel like Lizzie was forcing Hugh so much to have sex with her to a point when it just wasn't okay

[mar ۶ৎ]

Also I feel like Lizzie did get sexually assualted by Pierce BUT Hugh shouldn't take her back. she LITERALLY said something like 'it's not that bad', 'we both got what we wanted', 'you need to get over it' THAT IS NLT OKAY

[erin ۶ৎ]

@mar OMG FR I WAS GETTING SO PISSED OFF WITH HER. LIKE HE. DOESNT. WANT. TO. HAVE. SEX.
AND SO AGREE. hugh needs to take her back WHEN HE’S READY AND WHEN SHE’S READY. i can’t explan how much it pmo that they get back together WHILE he’s still in a relationship. (and she is also, technically, as she’s on and off with pierce.)

[♡⋆˚Caitlin ୨୧˚⋆]

@mar yeah i defenitly agree. Also correct me if i'm wrong but lizzie was literally THREATENING to leave him if he didn't have sex with her like she literally said something to the effect of "if you won't have srx with me i'll just go find someone who will"

[mar ۶ৎ]

I'M SO GLAD YALL ARGREE BECAUSE THAT GOT ME SO MADD

[♡⋆˚Caitlin ୨୧˚⋆]

It actually put me off lizzie a bit if anything because she of all people should understand respecting boundaries and the seriousness of SA after everything she has been through but still she was so so pushy about it to the point of manipulating, threatening and coercing hugh

[erin ۶ৎ]

@Caitlin agreed; there are so many plotholes regarding lizzie and sa. like in T7, she basically forced claire to go out with that one guy (i literally don’t remember his name lmao) when he literally assualted her in second year (which was technically only two years ago since they skipped fourth year).
