This book is so addictive and nuanced... I'm obsessed

Third time around and I’m sure it’ll wreck me all the same

Someone needs to dump cold water on these two... it cannot be healthy to be so hot and bothered so frequently

Every single time, Sáenz breaks my heart with his characters and books... yet I keep coming back like a masochist

David has my whole heart

(his theatrics almost sent me careening into traffic)

Reading this is taking me back to high school when my life was mapped out by David Levithan release dates and I kind of love that weird nostalgia

I feel like this is the biblical stories as Hozier intended

I don’t think I would be cool enough to sit with them but I’m obsessed with the aesthetic of this book

I finally sat down to *really get into this* and I will not sleep much this night because this book is so, so good

Drinking hot coffee while reading this is dangerous… snorting hot coffee from laughter is uncomfy

I am such a sucker for audiobooks read by the author… it feels like an afternoon on the couch with a friend while they rant

anyone else embracing the summer of ARCs and realizing you still have titles you were supposed to read and review in 2022? ...or is that a me problem?

I heard Michael Crouch narration and AI-centric speculative fiction... I'm in

It's literal coincidence that as I read this ARC, three new episodes of The Boys just dropped. It's almost like God wants me to have a heart attack

The ARC gods have been good to me

I think I'm finally strong enough to read about a European food and wine tour without imploding from jealousy

I've had this on my kindle since 2011 and I can confirm that while younger me would've been into it, 2024 me is like "girl, what the hell were you into"

This is the first time I’ve read about the fundamentalist homeschool community I grew up in from an #OwnVoices perspective and I am devouring it

(also, the audiobook goddess Natalie Naudus wrote it, so, it’s guaranteed to be good)

I know full well this book is going to end on a gut wrenching cliffhanger and I will lose my damn mind regardless

This book is going to make me quite the controversial house guest for the holidays this fall

This book is so good but also slightly horrifying because if I had to confront my own fanfiction creation like poor Ivy… Dr. Frankenstein’s shame would pale in comparison to my own

Sometimes, reading a book feels like sipping a fine wine, and this is one of those books- I want to binge it but I’m also already mourning its end

Somehow, my copy came Friday night, and I am so not mad about it

The ARC gods have blessed me with a YA homage to pop punk

Just as heart wrenching as the first time 🥲

With every page, James acts more and more like Laurent (if you know, you know)

Victor is so emo- I love it

The library finally gave me this audiobook back and it’s just as beautifully written and disturbing as I remember

I can already tell this isn’t going to be Hinton’s best work but there is something about the unhinged plot that I cannot help but admire… pirates, shark attacks, asylums, and prison sentences all in the first thirty pages

Absolute chaos
