I want to visit a place like this!

I swear if someone hurts the Witchlings...

Why do so many people have it in for Seven??

I just keep telling myself one more chapter, then I'll go to sleep... These characters are compelling!!

We finally met the son!

You'd think I'd understand what this book is about at this point but, no, still trying to "get" it.

Yea, this book is kinda strange... I do this once or twice a year (read a strange sci-fi-ish book) and this fits that bill. I honestly don't know where the "plot" (if there even is one) is going

The rage I will feel if these girls have to suffer anymore!

Seven continues to try to take on the world, and still trying to do it alone too often. Surprised the adults have been more absent this week. Surely someone besides these 12-14 year olds is mad about the anti-Spare laws, right?

Rome is a top-tier book boyfriend, Ri and her mom need someone to put them in their place, and Evie is the BFF every girl needs. Also this is so hard to put down!

An interesting perspective on flying, and also fascinating backstory for a wedding

The pacing in some of these poems is stunning. Friendship, heartbreak, parenting, self-love, self-esteem, and so much more. Had to force myself to put this down and go to sleep last night!

Oh Malcolm, what in the heck was you thinking?!?

If something doesn't happen until halfway (or more) through the book, it shouldn't be in the synopsis from the publisher because it takes away the surprise!

Two chapters in and I already love these characters!

I really wish we got the friend's perspective here because this really is set up to be a love triangle...

That said, ain't no one going from chairing the Olympics to UN Secretary-General.

I don't understand why the author decided to do summer 2024 Olympics set in Athens, not Paris...

Not enjoying the MC here because she is over the top naive. Maybe I'll give the audiobook a chance instead?

That salon nightmare panel is amazing! 🤩

This breakup then back together dynamic is annoying me. And he has zero respect for her boundaries.

The performer for the audiobook is great but the plot is moving too slowly for me and the MC is still a weirdo.

I've laughed out loud a few times already

So many missing examples here... Can't believe the equal pay discussion doesn't include all of the work Venus Williams did in recent years, for example

This is really drawn out. I mean I listened to like an hour of emails...

Listening to the audiobook. Do you ever want to give a character a hug? That's how Iveliz makes me feel.

Watching someone else crash and burn is painful, especially when it's written so well that you feel like it could be you going through it.

Jamila is one complex 12 year old! She's got grief, that surly preteen attitude, and yet is also serving as a counselor for her dad. Black girls grow up too fast!!

At some point, you realize you've been listening for hours and hours and so little has happened. Or that you nodded off while listening, woke up, and didn't miss anything. Janina Edwards is great but she needs stronger material to work with, I think.

I've mostly listened to the audiobook but also read some of this when I couldn't listen. Liam is an interesting MC. I already liked Daisy from the previous book and I'm glad she's the star here. The interfering Patel Aunties will never not be hilarious.

Thoroughly entertaining thus far. There's more references to the previous book than I'd like but I'm looking forward to finding out why Aunt Jack is back in town.
