I don't like 'diagnosing' people but I am getting OCD vibes from the FMC
"if she could.. then.."
"if she did... then.."
"if this happened... then..."

soooo our fmc is 31, she has a younger sister who is 13 and she first love broke her heart when she was 18... math is not my best subject buttt is this implying what I think it is?

"We read a lot, Jack picks the books."

Hell no

We are 70% in and she STILL defends him?

I get that you can't schedule an emotional breakdown but can we focus on her and the kids's moment and do this after?

It's amazing how I'm focusing on how unrealistic it is for a teacher to just fly several times in a short time during the school year. She flew to visit him, flew for the party, and all for a few days each. I know this is fiction but come on!

I already had to start this over... I might actually cry because I can't find a book to bring me out of this slump

I am really bored 🫣

Never thought I'd reference this book but, I'm getting 'paper towns' vibes

idk about this :(
and it started off so good too

she's being petty and I don't like it

“He won’t have you. You’re not a virgin. Not after I was done with you.” I sigh. “Myron, just because you were a virgin when we met, it doesn’t mean I was.” His mouth drops open. “What did you say to Lord Vasco and the council?” I demand. “They said they spoke with you.” “I wasn’t your first?”

Don't love that direction of conversation

“Yes, many of us were invited to stay. Well, to be honest, it’s almost a bit of a command. I don’t think I could leave if I wanted to, but I’m having such a fun time sizing up all the men at court, I don’t mind one bit.”

RED FLAG

"I wonder at the signature. Could those be the king’s real initials? I suppose I shouldn’t have expected him to sign SK. Shadow King isn’t his name, after all."

That would have been funny though

“Is it the dancing you like? Or are you merely looking to show off your”—he darts a quick look down to my legs—“dress?” “Are you mocking my outfit? I designed it myself.” “Quite the opposite. I rather like it.” A pinch of humor lurks at the edges of his lips. I think it might be at my expense, and I don’t like that one bit. I say, “Give me your measurements, and I can have one made for you.”

cute

“Of course I have a plan,” I respond. One doesn’t go into battle unprepared.
“Are you going to tell me this plan?”
“It doesn’t involve you. You don’t need to know.” The muscles in his arm bunch slightly.
“But I could weigh in. Help you. You’re not the only one who wants you to succeed.” I pause at the top of the steps.
“Have you ever seduced a man before?”

Love this comeback

""But—I’ve shared your bed,” he splutters.
Yes, he and three other boys this month."

ummm ok

"They’ve never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will."

Where was this book when the 'first line of a book' trend was happening?

You would think that being sick is the perfect time to read, but no ofc not. I only read when I actually have other stuff to do (also, it could be the book)

"... smiles and tries to look demure, but to me she looks like a deranged sociopath."

That's what I've been saying

“You’re a force to be reckoned with. I think you should stop hiding from people.”

love when girls support girls

“You will move through life and fall in love with many different people, and at some point, you will get your heart broken. It’s unavoidable. The key is to not be afraid of the breaking. People break our hearts, but they create more room in them first, and that room makes it possible for us to become more ourselves.”

“And you are very, very worthy. You’re worthy of love you feel good about. Not just from a girl, but from yourself.”

"When did you stop feeling worthy, Scottie?”
“I didn’t realize I had.”
“Tally left and it was like this giant hole opened up”
...
“I think you lost yourself in Tally a bit”
“I didn’t mean to, I loved her so much. I thought she was perfect. When I started seeing things I wasn’t so sure about, I thought the problem was me and my way of looking at things. It felt like I couldn’t tell the ceiling from the floor.”

"I’ve always thought you were amazing. Why did you need Tally to show you that?”

oh baby girl

no no no no no

“I want to know she understands how it feels to be falling in new love and bleeding from old love at the same time”

MY HEART

“Oh look, Regina George is here״

I mean, I get it but it also felt a bit out of nowhere

The exs might have been made for each other, they are both horrible

I want to strangle her ex, she gives controlling manipulative stalker vibes
