10/10, no notes Alice you’ve done it again 👏🏼


This book was sooo good. I was genuinely scared at some points, it was a real page turner I felt like it was a super fast read for me.
The characters were super interesting and all had their own little things they were dealing with and it added to the main storyline so well.
The twists and turns were crazy, I had my suspicions about who had done it but they were definitely not my main suspect for all the chaos going on! I definitely can’t wait to get into the next.


This book honestly had me hooked! I really enjoyed the characters sometimes I hated them sometimes I loved them. They had pretty decent development throughout the book, I could have done without some of the storylines between certain characters, but overall this book was very intriguing.
The first half of the book, I hated Peter so much (can’t stand a cheating character) and then when he passed at the end of the book BEFORE the end of the world I almost lost my mind. He definitely did not deserve Eliza, but I also don’t think he deserved death.
Andy is the character I thought I would love but ended up hating surprisingly. He does the stereotypical “make a bet to sleep with the girl” and then goes on to say he is in love with her? Just doesn’t scream love to me, especially when he is talking about Anita and her voice and describing what literal love is. It just bothered me slightly that he also could never take accountability for the shit HE was doing.
Anita and Eliza were my girls throughout the whole thing, I was really shocked because sometimes male authors have tendencies to write women awfully, but Tommy honestly encapsulated what it felt like to be a teenager girl. The drama, the conflict, the self loathing he really hit the nail on the head for me personally and I loved both Anita and Eliza’s development throughout the story.

Tall girl representation? From the MAIN FMC?? Not a side character??? I could cry. I love Bree so much already.

I hate spoilers so much! The worst is when you do it yourself looking up info on a character or fanart for the book 😭
I hate accidentally spoiling stuff for myself in books. I just did that with the crul prince and now I'm mad at myself. How do you guys feel about them?

The Color Purple by Alice Walker is THE sapphic lit book in my opinion. I cried multiple times reading it though so be warned. 🫣

What are some your favorite sapphic books? I’m not necessarily looking for romance, but it’s okay if the book contains some romance. I also prefer books set in older time periods, as opposed to something super contemporary.
***Thank you everyone for all the wonderful recommendations! If anyone is interested I created a shelf in my PB library with all the suggested books. 🫶🏻

This is so tough! Since I primarily read physical copies, it's a toss up between the book light I've gotten and all of the bookmarks I've accumulated 🤭 where would I be without my beautiful place holders!?
hello my fellow boundlings! 💕🫛🐝
i came to ask, what’s one bookish appliance, habit, or purchase that you made, and couldn’t imagine living without? i’m talking you don’t know how you survived without it.
for me it would be my book stand. i recently got it for when i want to read in bed without straining my arms or eyes too much. its been such a great purchase and now i can’t imagine reading without it!
share yours if you have one so we can all hopefully learn from each other and have the best time reading!!
