The book is incredible so far I keep reading and thinking wow I can't believe this exists. I'm also absolutely the target audience for this LOL

Okay but her father calling her to check in and reminding her that not feeling hungry is a symptom of grief, something he clearly learned from a book he was reading on the topic, does have me in tears. I was not expecting to cry today wtf dad

Also the way bree and her dad are grieving the same person while Bree is also acutely aware that their grief is so different is v good

I think I might DNF this book. I am just not that into it

I feel like this book would be a lot less interesting for people who have never lived in the Seattle area. I feel like there's just a lot of references that wouldn't make sense if you haven't spent a good chunk of time there

This book is so so horny

Holy shit ?????????

I went into this book completely blind bc I am committed to read everything Emily Austin writes and I didn't need to know what this was about before I read it. Halfway through and I remain correct about that.

Highly engrossing and very curious to see where we're going

So far a poignant meditation on the ways in which our lives intertwine and how hard being a person can be sometimes. And also. How important that work of being a person is. I can't believe it took me so long to read this book

Unfortunately it has the vibes of a very surface level action movie. Also the professor and the Leslie's relationship often feels icky. Like she's 15 years younger than him!! Supposedly she's 24!!!

AND NO COOL ATLANTIS STUFF YETTTT

So far ngl it feels kinda preachy and heavy handed with it. Like. I know I'm the choir here being preached to but it feels like we took several steps back from the story and characters so that we could talk about trans rights (without talking about trans rights)

I'm hoping it'll get balanced out once we get back on the island

Screaming crying and throwing up

Did I just read the book of the summer???

i wanted to like this book so badly but I think I'm gonna have to stop here
