    My favorite quotes

    I found myself highlighting and underlining a quarter of this book. Here are a few of my favorites just from the first few chapters of the book: “You get to know things this way, by looking at yourself. You know the world by the shape of what comes back when you yell.” “I was fourteen and ruled by a dark planet. My brothers were grown, or seemed so to me at the time.” “I loved it when anybody was in grief. Grief was something interesting. It had a heat, and I had none of my own.”

    I’m overdue with this book at the library so I may as well start it today right? I haven’t read a TJR in a few years and I think it’s time 🔔 🔔 🔔 Without spoilers, how do you rate this in comparison to her other novels?

    Thoughts several years after reading

    I read this within a year of finishing My Dark Vanessa. HEAVY STUFF. My friend actually knows the author and when I spotted it on his bookshelf he gave it to me.

    Classic

    The writing in this book is gorgeous. I cannot believe it took me this many years of my life to finally pick it up.

    love love loved this - the audiobook was fantastic and the story itself was engaging - it strikes the sweet spot between profound social commentary and entertaining romp. The diverse representation doesn't feel forced or performative; Casey McQuiston does a beautiful job exploring the nuanced struggle, confusion, and joy of embracing authenticity. Echoing some other's sentiments that the side characters are more compelling than the main characters. While I appreciate that both Chloe and Shara are flawed and multidimensional, their self-absorption grates after a while. That being said, as a whole the cast of characters and their banter is top notch

    The magic system is so unique and I'm loving the vibes, the start was a huge: "wtf is happening" moment as it sorts of just jumps into it (be prepared if you're going to read this book).
