realizing that there’s a part of me that really hates these books 😭

the pacing of this book…. why are you hiding the best characters

jeremiah and belly inflicting psychological warfare on conrad because he didn’t want to go to a high school dance as a depressed college student

i really didn’t realize the signs were this obvious the first time around wes stand UP

my version of cocaine

over halfway through and where is kael?? faraway????

the random kdrama third act twist man shut UP

i just keep crawling back

biggest ick in romance books is when every chapter is just the two leads interacting. and we always just skip to the next time they talk. go to practice!!

who made the casting decision that the eighteen year old is going to play the college junior

okay maybe triplets are freaky

jennifer you’re starting to lose me a bit with the cult plot…

tiktok spoiled the sloane lesbian reveal but i’m ☹️ing nonetheless

lia really said i know your mother’s skeleton was discovered cassie ✋ however this is michael and sloane s book you gotta wait

we need to give jennifer lynn barnes her flowers because she has a very addictive writing style that’s easy to read but still enjoyable. perhaps it’s very bare minimum but i just want to celebrate decent writing after releasing 10

now that mark is gone and the worst of the trauma circus is over i just feel empty. like the only times i find myself genuinely enjoying this book is when johnny or feely appear because everything else is pure misery

i genuinely need to know the timeline for chloe walsh putting this book together because i do not believe that’s she been planning all of this mark conspiracy shit from the start

every summer the ya mystery gene enters my body

the way that claire and gibsie are characterized feels mean-spirited because we as readers know what happens to gibsie!! and yet we still have repeated mentions from both hughie/lizzie about how supposedly naive their friends are, not helped by the fact that claire is given zero depth in her own book. claire literally doesn’t realize her best friend is traumatized until she reads it in writing and it all feels MEAN

there is something so disrespectful about the way that patrick is written. like it’s disrespectful that patrick, hughie’s alleged best friend before lizzie, is given like one three page scene where it’s just the two of them and we’re given the slightest glimpse into his life and after that the only other time we get anything close to that is when it’s revealed that feely asked lizzie out and hughie is pissy

i am genuinely trying so hard not to be insensitive but it feels like chloe walsh shoehorned in mark abusing lizzie as a child as a way to make sure she maintained her status as the most traumatized and special boys of tommen character. also what is the point of having hundreds of pages worth of flashbacks if you are going to simply have the single digit aged characters speak like they are a decade older.

is every book going to be a case targeted towards a different natural

… i mean i knew the letty betrayal was imminent but damn

took about half the book but the pot is finally plotting!! absolutely victim-blaming professor lovell his murder was entirely his own fault

evie brooke haunting the narrative

plot come back to me…

the brother reveal i gasped (ignore me finally coming to this book after two months)

cassie is so me after watching sherlock for the first time in middle school
