all of Rukhsana's friends who haven't bothered understanding her situation make me so mad. i can't even bare to see their point of view.
to me, Rukhsana is not a caricature. She's not a book character. She's been my friend. An amalgamation of all my friends. The things she thinks about and does, I've seen my friends do the same

making this my first read for pride month! genuinely excited for the bengali setting.

a scandal in a preppy school? im here for it

halfway through with no idea of who the murderer is i love this book

about a fifth of the way through
not much but i definitely feel the difference between the first time i read the book vs now
its amazing how this book has managed 5o stay relevant

helloo i predicted it! but also the twist is definitely the motive

spoilers ahead :)


I am almost sure about who died and who did it. Although I can imagine all the friends quite happy at how it turned out because the secrets died with her. Although, she is the only character I personally enjoy. She's presents the closest thing to her truest self at all times unlike the others who kind of feel like they are actors 24/7

having read guest list, i feel like i can tell exactly which direction lucy foley is trying to steer her story in - if im right, she rlly just loves the idea of outsider w ties to old friends.

okay this is such a good book i can't stop reading.

i think this might be my new favourite ya thriller already!!

this is shaping up to be quite the boring read

it took me 4 hours to get through the last one - probably going to take me 3 for this.

everytime I pick up an adult romance, i am basically asking to read wattpad like books ahh.
idk man but the lack of conflict apart from emotional barriers just doesn't do it for me lik I get that this book is incredibly realistic at least in terms of two people dating and getting to know each other despite their obvious mutual sexual attraction but i read books for escapism and conflict

what a drag

this is giving me major geekerella vibes and I love it

meetcute based on my OTP when??

ok I'm hoping this is good because I'm going through a major reading slump

a sex scandal in a preppy school? im here for it

the world building/character motivations are kind of difficult to understand ngl

ive heard this is sort of greek mythology meets hunger games
that sounds absolutely amazing

ok I'm reading this because I don't have the capacity to read mystery or hard hitting truths about the society let me just get lost in a book that resembles knives out

im only at the introduction but this has already been so eye-opening

i think this is going to be a very interesting read - as someone on the brink of adulthood, i get asked more and more often about my sexual experiences and when i say i have none, it's met with lots of judgement

i hope i understand more about sexual attraction through this

PLEASE I HOPE YOU ARE FUCKING WITH ME
ASEXUAL AND AROMATIC COMMITTEES?? DID THIS BOOK NOT GET EDITED WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK.

not loving the references made to real life people

i love this book a little too much

im fuming

my review is going to be huge

the worst part is that people like him exist.

no because i love the gradual romance + friendship build up in this book as opposed to some ya books that think ya == romance hence, show a romance lmao (ok im talking about one of us is lying)
