this is very good so far 👀 but low-key I don't get why student council elections are *such* a big deal to these kids lmao

I'm definitely getting more and more invested in this as the book goes on

im feeling so much fear wtf

Ronnie is simply the best 🥺

this is making me miss theatre so much :((

I would do anything for these characters

I love how this was so clearly written by an actual gen z author, like just . . . the way they talk is how teens actually talk, it's amazing

It's five in the morning and I have so many regrets, but what can I say? Karina and Ace are just so 🥺

I'm not very far in yet, but I can already tell that this is the sort of book that reminds me why I love reading

I am Afraid

why did I read this at bedtime this book is terrifying

I don't know when the last time I trusted this few characters was like damn

I don't even trust the protagonists (I trust they aren't aces, but nothing past that) so. yeah. wow

it's such a thrilling atmosphere and I'm hhh and I'm terrified

this is so atmospheric omg ahhh

the amount of fear I am feeling is,,, extreme

with all my heart: fuck Ixion

okay the beginning was rough but I think I'm liking this

all I am feeling is pain

having not read this one before, all I have to say so far is: this is so fucking weird

is that a good thing? a bad thing? a medium thing? hell if I know!!

I am ahhhhhh I'm so soft for these characters

the pacing of this book is like,,, not bad just drastically not what I remembered lmaoooo, I thought all of this happened in like the first 25% or so

how is a two year old smarter than me

this poor child really needs a hug. or like. a lot of hugs

oh this is gonna make me cry isn't it

I really appreciate that this isn't trying to be another rwrb—that book isn't something that can be replicated, but this book is something else entirely, and it's spectacular

Casey McQuiston's writing feels like a warm hug 🥺

not me only finally figuring out where the title comes from omg hgsdghhdgs

whyyyy do my favourites get so little page time 😭 like pls I want more of them and less of the others gdsghghsd

there are things I expect to read about, and then there is impulsively slapping a fury in the face, but tbh I am here for this turn of events

I am mostly just here for Vehan and Aurelian, tbh

I accidentally abandoned this for like two weeks or something, so now I have no idea what is happening anymore, but I am invested!! in three of the four pov characters at least
