Is it a contractural requirement that all of Victoria Christopher Murray's heroines have daddy issues and become obsessed with much older, married men??

An unnecessary third act break up in MY cozy fantasy??

I’m obsessed with this book!!!

Either I’m going to finish this book or this book is going to finish me…

I'm cleaning out my closet to avoid being depressed by this book... This is not good!

Does this book ever get less miserable? The characters are just getting bullied and hating themselves, I'm sad.

I wish I had the courage to DNF this but I'm over halfway through 😭

Why is this considered a classic? Serious question...

I'm... not enjoying this twist.

"One of the secrets of Augustus’s success was a certain androgyny, or so it appears to a modern eye looking at the many portrait statues that show him young and ageless, with a sweet face, even when wearing a soldier’s armor. Augustus was both a man’s man and the greatest friend that elite Roman women had ever had. "
Are you kidding me??? Please tell me you're joking right now

This is definitely not a sapphic romance… Why did y’all tag it that way and give me a false impression?? 😭

I'm enjoying this a lot but I thought this book had a sapphic romance... I'm over halfway through and there hasn't been even the slightest hint! Was I bamboozled??

"I was struck by the odd feeling that came with the realization that elders were not born at their advanced age. There existed a time when they had been young, growing and seeking wisdom from elders of their own—an entire reality stolen by the greedy hands of time."

We have less than 50 pages left and the MC is just now discovering that elders were once young people... 🫣

I didn't like Daisy Jones and the Six and I'm not a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, but I do love ✨ MESS ✨.

I’m really struggling with how awful and ableist Jase’s friends are being and Jase is just sitting there doing NOTHING. He’s going to have to show significant character growth before I’m at all comfortable with this romance.

I was NOT expecting so much brothel content in a YA book lol.

At this point so many people have been executed (or are being executed) that I can't even follow what's happening lol.

So far this is just... "AND IT WAS ALL LIVIA'S FAULT!!!!1!!" I'm enjoying the audiobook a lot but the interpretation is boring...

This book was published in 2019 and they’re masking in the NICU. Oh how times have changed ☹️

Over a hundred pages in and I feel like barely anything has happened so far. I’m going to need more dragon content STAT.

I'm having a really bad pain day and this is making me cry already. Dogs! 😭

She calls her cane "CANE AUSTEN"??? It's like page 2 and I'm already in love with this woman 😂

I picked this up because I wanted something short to read but the narrator is annoying me to death.

I’m sorry but this is a really weird narrative decision.

I want to trust this author but introducing a new POV and flashbacks this late in the story is making me feel ???

I’m really enjoying this book and I love these characters, but when you heard a song about the hunt like 100 pages ago, maybe you should’ve paid attention?

I don’t know what it says about me and my mental state that I can’t take the bullying plot in a middle grade novel… I almost want to stop reading or skip to the end. 😭

I kinda predicted this twist but I find it extremely annoying...

I’m sorry to say it but I’m finding this to be a real slog 😭
