Dick Hallorann?? OMG Shining crossover

Found a typo 🤪

I’ve read almost 400 pages over 24 hours and I’m still not even HALFWAY THERE
I’m still determined to finish this by Wednesday night 🤭🤪

Trying not to drop this slippery monstrosity of a book while in the waiting room at Rylee’s dentist 💀

“Her boobs breasted boobily” ass chapter

MC is just an autistic girlie who needs to consult the group chat at every minor inconvenience

Gonna switch to physical copy bc I CANT with this narrator 💀
Chapter 9

Is this YA? It feels YA 🙃 I was about to DNF but I saw “lesbian” and “queer” in the tags so I’m gonna keep listening 🤭
Anyways the narrator sounds like she’s reading a middle grade Cinderella retelling

Why does everyone have to ❌blurt❌ everything
“I blurted”
“He blurted”
Please stop I beg

where 👊 are 👊 the 👊 queer 👊 characters 👊👊👊 I was PROMISED 👊👊👊

“His penis rising like an exclamation point through pubic hair” im CRYING trying not to laugh while listening to this AT WORK
Slur counter: 28

So he had a relationship with his advisor/professor (at 15!!!) and still had an affair with his student?? He has a child that’s 15-18 and he still had an affair with a woman half his age???

Lennon you are a grooming victim please stop giving this man excuses “I’ve been chosen :)” HE’S YOUR ADVISOR PLEASE KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS

Putting this on 2.3x speed so I can finally put it back 💀🫣
The bar keeps getting lower and lower

Mom is really enjoying this book :)

Maes really said “fuck around and be gay but don’t you dare have a straight relationship because we can’t afford any pregnancies on this mission” (basically)

When she almost kisses her (older) advisor/ professor and the only reason they don’t is because he’s worried about loosing his job 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

Realizing the narrator of this book is also character in The Stormlight Archives 🤯

I’m making my mom listen to the audiobook with me while we make dinner 🫡

If this turns into a teacher/student romance I’m DNFing

I can’t believe I got tricked into reading The Magicians again

Oh so she’s CRAZY crazy (I love her)

Nemo reference

We love a manic main character

“Slow burn” does NOT mean they barely interact until the end when they fall for each other

These characters and this plot are as cold and dry as the fictional winter wasteland the story takes place in 💀

Pacing is ASS

A DIY BLOOD TRANSFUSION????
