Writing an email to his deadbeat mum: "Did you even notice that (...) you were becoming too busy to answer the phone whenever I tried to call? You said you'd call me back but you never did. And I guess that brings me to my last queation: did you stop loving me too?“ Of course she did, you stupid moron! The woman hasn't talked to you in literal years, has zero interest in you. Take a hint, would you

"trans people used to be considered gods in a bunch of different cultures religions. (...) We're still considered spiritual guides in some places around the world." The thought of Felix as a spiritual guide makes me shudder. He shouldn't guide anyone, couldn't bc he's so self-involved he'd have no clue where to. Also, what would he be the god of, petty revenge?

Ugh I forgot how much I dislike everyone but Ezra. Felix is a petty, entitled, whiny, self-centred twat. Everyone's so annoying.

Finding Harry Potter references in a book by a trans author about a trans MC hits differently, man. Of course, this book was published just before JKR's transphobia blew up online and became widely known (less than a month, in fact).

So silly but also hilarious

I just cannot muster up the energy to give a single f**k about the delicate little problems of young rich white people. The characters in this book are so privileged and whiny I can't help but hate them. Also, women these days are all about decentring men (rightfully!) and here's Eve hinging her entire self worth on one arrogant asshole man.

"In Hong Seung-hee's Suicide Diaries, I read about her thoughts on free death. (...) she thought that the word 'suicide' should be replaced with 'free death', a linguistic idea that made an impression on me."
In German there's a (somewhat archaic) expression for suicide that literally translates to 'free death'. I like it much more than the more modern 'self-murder.'

8 hours into the audiobook and still not even a kiss. this book is taking slow burn to the next level. I'm enjoying it, though; it's different. With many run-of-the mill contemporary romances, the you already know the plot before you even start to read. Not a chance with this book. It's much more character than plot driven anyway

Will it ever end 😩

Why can't dead characters ever stay dead? I hate this rewritten history stuff and how long it's being dragged out. It's annoying, confusing, and boring at the same time bc no plot is happening.

This is Legends & Lattes all over again - same premise, same excruciatingly slow pacing with no plot to speak of. This is just not my kind of book. I'm only pushing through this bc I'm reading it for a challenge.

Why won't this book end 😭 I've been picking it up for weeks now and still so far to go

This is one of those ‘lost young white woman looking for meaning/ happiness/fulfilment attaches herself to an older/successful/worldly man in hopes for guidance’ books that usually don’t work for me at all because I look down on people who don’t have real problems despite a little early-adulthood existential crisis with contempt. I should hate it - but I dont! I love the writing, it's witty, endearing, and eloquent

And what is this bullshit about "excuses"? You think now that you successfully "fixed" him he'll be your good little fuckbuddy again and roll over whenever you feel like gracing him with your affection? That's so fucked up. I hate this guy.

“You know I’d do anything for you, right?” he asked, his voice low, his joking tone gone. “I do.” “You know I love you.” “I know.” In his own way, it was probably true. “No more excuses, Jason. Come to bed with me. Please.”
You're such a crass disgusting asshole. Last night he told you repeatedly he didn't want to sleep with you, this morning he broke down in your arms, now you're trying to get in his pants AGAIN.

I adore this story, it has so much heart, the MCs are so very human (in the best way) and I relish every minute I get to spend with them in this unique story world =3 The author strikes the perfect balance between humorous writing and also tackling serious subjects with a lot of tenderness and kindness. It makes me feel all warm and soft inside

I found this book by chance and I'm so glad I gave it a try. It's adorable, witty, very well-written, and like nothing I've read before.

“I’m going to kill her, and Miss Preston, and the mayor, all of them. I’m going to gut them like fish and use them as shambler bait. Then I’m going to burn both the school and the mayor’s house to the ground and dance upon the ashes.” “That’s good, Jane. It’s good to have goals.” lol

Finally I can listen to this on audio 🎧❤️

Keira Andrews released all her holiday romances on audio this year. This makes me so happy because there's a distinct lack of xmas books that are available in that format.

Now I simply must re-read this novella, even if I've read it three times already, especially as it's narrated by the wonderful Greg Boudreaux 😍
