She's got it sooooo bad lmao

Oh yeah growing closer is soooo sweet

I cannot keep the friends straight lol definitely need a bit more time with each other them. But I love the way she writes attraction....love pours out of this :,)

I like how there very little miscommunication between them - they have these scenarios set up for unnecessary conflict but they end up tackling it head on very quickly, thank god

I've literally been waiting so long for this I'm so excited lol
I do love these girls already, Tansy is a little too "quiet shy" girl for me, but I love the chaotic energy Gemma is bringing to this

I at least like what Maggie does and how she conducts herself, I just wish this was written better! It's just telling me all these things that happen without any emotion behind it besides "I felt anger" or "I felt joy." Show me that!!!
It also doesn't help that a scene doesn't last longer than like 3 paragraphs

Alright I like the latter half a lot more lol Shane and Red's story is my favorite 😭

This is just going too fast for me. There's not enough time to really absorb or feel anything, and when there is emotion it's all tell and no show. It barely feels like she reacts to having her own baby

Still can't say for certain that the plot has moved along all that much lol

Oh this is gonna be slow lol

Not so sure about this, even happy as I am to get an ARC. The writing is so simple, it almost feels like middle grade

Now we're getting to the food politics lol Lexos chapters are much more interesting and the twist with Michali I definitely wasn't expecting!

This is interesting, but definitely a bit meandering

because impersonating a saint won't backfire at all for her lmao

This is so over hyped

Considering I hate SNL and really sketch comedy in general....this has not caught my attention so far lol

The DRAMA I love it

How many times are they gonna bash mexico in this smh

I love the slowburn going on. They are in love but they barely talk lol

I don't know why this feels like it's moving so slowly, because things have definitely happened, there's just pages and pages of like, etiquette and politics that aren't very interesting to me

Shaping up to be just okay - its just a high school drama in the regency era and older english. and i get annoyed when really modern feminism is inserted into these lol

why do i feel like ive been reading this forever lol

I'm not really interested in this back and forth timeline. the Ela storyline is just her getting embarrassed, which we already knew, and I with the Lyra storyline would move along faster

Took a little bit, but I'm becoming more interested in this. I just wish they didn't all have such complicated greek names lol

I know ive been "reading" this for like two weeks but I have been so uninterested lmao

I literally have been bombarded with so many obstacles to finishing the damn last like hour of this book. Is there going to be consequences for him breaking up Hallie and Alex on purpose?? no?? no consequences??
