do you think caz and meep would let groot be their third

Now that there is markdown and it is easier to post pics, I'd love to see some of your reading buddies if you're comfortable sharing!

I tried searching to see if someone made this post before, and I only saw one from before markdown and pics, so I thought I'd make this! Don't feel pressured if you aren't comfortable of course. I just love the happy little boost I get from seeing pets.

(I strongly encourage kitty toe beans.)

I'm on the fence on this book and reading this for the Fall Readalong, but because of the mixed reviews / discussions I'm torn. Yet, curiosity will almost always get the best of me because despite the mixed reviews I've seen.....I am still so curious....so here we go. 😅🙏🪒🔪

aka things i’ve read that sent me into a full identity crisis 😃🔫

okay but fr some of y’all authors need to be put on a government watchlist for the stuff you’re writing 😭 i picked up a book thinking it was gonna be a cute lil romance and tell me why this girl ended up MARRYING her dad’s best friend?????

like. not crushing. not flirting. MARRYING. HER. DAD’S. BEST. FRIEND.

sir that is the man who watched you grow up???? he was at your 7th birthday party and now he’s your husband??? nah because that’s not a trope, that’s a CRIME SCENE 🚓🚓🚓

AND ANOTHER THING—can we have a moment of silence for the amount of step-sibling romances i’ve accidentally read bc y’all love to hide that info in the second half of the blurb 😐

like “they met one summer, fell in love, but then… their parents got married 😏” — HELLO??? that’s not forbidden romance, that’s THERAPY BAIT. why do they always find out after the kissing?? that’s not plot development, that’s trauma 💔

and i know some of you are gonna be like “they’re not blood related tho” but okay?? 😭 let’s be so serious

✨other tropes/random book things that need to be YEETED into the sun✨: —miscommunication that lasts 300 pages when one text could solve it (i’m tired) —the toxic emotionally unavailable guy who needs a girl to “save him” (sir get a journal and a therapist, not a girlfriend) —the “sHe’S oNLY 18 😏” paired with a 32-year-old man. LOCK. HIM. UP. —surprise secret baby. no bc that’s not a twist, that’s a whole tax bracket

🫡 can we bring back: —healthy tension with actual chemistry??? —friendships that matter?? —soft boys who journal and make playlists?? —banter that isn’t just bullying in disguise?? —main characters with hobbies besides just ✨breathing✨ and falling in love

i read books to escape reality, not to end up emotionally damaged AND confused 💀 anyway, i’m gonna go read fanfic where the characters act like humans again 🫶
