that change to 3rd person is even weirder than I expected

my favorite duo in this book is Jesper and Inej talking shit about their mutual crush on this One AssholeTM who is super inconvenient and extra

that asshole’s name? Kaz Brekker

I just teared up about some side character. and I love it.

ah yes, the Backstory Section

not to be shady but this is... a bit romancey for my style?

I... do not like or care about this

okay, this might be weird, but can anyone send me a photo of the start of chapter forty eight in a finished copy? there’s a quote from the arc that I lowkey don’t love but I don’t want to quote inaccurately if it was fixed 😞

I’m not loving this and I am so mad about it.

got accused of being a crybaby whiner. tried to support good friend defending me. noticed two lines above that person denying calling anyone a crybaby whiner. currently in need of a shot because I’m laughing so hard.

i literally did not expect my mother to enjoy reading this somewhat violent and brutal book but apparently she is??

this is less hilarious and more sad than i thought it would be

I won’t bow down to the haters telling me to one star this

in all seriousness. please don't follow me if you think my "gay lifestyle" is unnatural. finding that out can be really painful and I don't want to interact with people who feel so much hate for me. I love all the amazing queer people I've met on here and hope y'all are having a great day. thanks <3

me: I hate when people get hate for different opinions :/

someone: oh yeah! like when I say I literally despise an entire sexuality of people, that's just my opinion and I—

me: not you

I haven't hated in a book in so long and I'm losing touch with my identity. who am I unless I'm constantly tearing shitty books apart

god i hate finals i just want to binge this

“Wednesday is genderbender day, which basically amounts to southern straight people cross-dressing.” it’s definitely not my favorite.” not to offend anyone (straight) but this is the most hilarious and relatable book ever written

yes this IS the third time I’m rereading this

not to offend you guys but Henry and Louie personally invented love

this is the fourth time I've read this book in the sixteen months since I first read it. who am I

guys I know it’s really early but the way this is written is giving me CHILLS. and the main character has. so much potential. and so does the love interest. guys help I love this

I’m so sorry for stalking @Sana but I love this beginning!

this Henry backstory is so fucking upsetting I’m dead inside how

thanks for my life @ whoever narrated this audiobook

me: I’m going to stop reading contemporary now
this book: exists
me: I’m going to stop reading contemporary later

im crying and they’re not even dead yet

a man I have never met before just tapped me on the shoulder to ask about the title of this book. I am in a coffee shop. what is happening

...Rufus only has seventy instagram followers

It's definitely cheesy, but I always picture this book ending with all the characters looking back on the water, riding off to their separate destinies.
