This book was delicious! The words were a full meal and a dessert on the side. In fact, I think the only complaint I had was that I couldn’t watch this on a screen! 10/10 will read again

This just wasn’t my style. The characters and writing style were on point, but I couldn’t have cared less about the plot or setting. I 100% believe this can be a hit with someone with different tastes, because the author very obviously knows how to write well, but I just wasn’t interested. What I want in a horror book is to be so scared I need to put the book down, and although this one was certainly creepy throughout, and at one point really gross, it was never scary. What saved this book for me, and why I kept reading, was that the societal commentary was so good, if not a bit on the nose.

Ok I LOVE when an author knows how to do a good accidental confession. YES queen, my jaw was on the floor. But listen, if you don’t like a slow burn, this one isn’t for you. All I’m going to say is 92%. Do you understand? We are talking Haley Cass levels of you’re gonna wait for it and you’re gonna like it. I felt really invested in these characters, which can be hard to do. I loved the callbacks and the attention to detail as well. What you might think is innocuous is later used to gut punch you in the feels. I loved it!

Surprisingly in depth for how short the novel was! I was IN LOVE with the characters. I would like to read more about Snow and Cait.

Lovely read, and surely something everyone should read at least once if not for the sole purpose of it being a book that paved the way for sapphic literature. As good as the movie, if not a bit less boring since you get to know why Therese did what she did.

I loved that the ending hinted at a much more sinister underlying plot line without actually saying it forthright! This book was clever! I love a good short story that has a great hook, line, and sinker. I would recommend!

Every single word felt important. Not just that, every single word WAS important. If it wasn’t a callback or foreshadowing, it was symbolic, or setting the scene. Every word had its purpose. Oh my gosh I was hooked from the get go, and the ending!!!!! So good! The characters were so well written, I was heavily invested in so many of them. I wish I was half this interesting! It might be too early to say this, but I think this one will be my favorite May read.

“Silvi-UH” “LauREN” This book had me cackling with how ridiculous these 30 something’s were. I love a good enemies to lovers, but add into the mix that they’re childhood friends and it’s game over for me. I loved this story, their ambition, their heartbreak and loneliness, and of course, their eventual love. It was just what I needed.

This story was so sweet, I loved these characters! The book covered some heavy topics like grief and finding your identity in your middle age, and it was handled so well. I’m not going to lie, this book might have gotten a 5 star if there weren’t mistakes in the narration. It might just be me being picky, but stutters and repeated lines really take me out of the story and it takes a while to ease back into it. I don’t know if my rating would be different if I didn’t read it with the audiobook.
