Hot take but this shouldn't be classed as a tragedy, instead is should be considered a comedy. And yes, I mean the whole play, all five acts. Does it take a dark turn? Yes. But that doesn't preclude it from being a comedy.

I could feel this book rewriting my brain chemistry as I was reading. I'm obsessed. What an interesting and beautiful world. I'm going to have to reread this a million times I think.

I can tell Evelyn is going to be really interesting but god this narrator is annoying.

It actually annoys me how much I like Murderbot. Like I didn't read it for ages because I assumed it would be one of those books that's premise and vibes first, quality further down the line, but it was available on audio while I was doing some crafting and it really is just that good. Damn it.

This book will forever live in my mind. It's grown its roots and burrowed deep inside me. I cannot get over how this ended, the amount of anguish, tears, and confusion that is still going on inside of me. I'll be posting a review soon, but this is definitely going on my favorite bookshelf.

I just saw a Goodreads review say that this book was too political and far too unrealistic and everyone was flat as cardboard. Tell me you didn't get the point without telling me you didn't get the point. That made me RAGE because you would've GOTTEN it if you'd had basic reading comprehension!
Look, I get it if you didn't like the writing style, it's not a one size fits all, but you didn't like the book for ENTIRELY WRONG REASONS! A book being too political is the dumbest excuse for disliking a book that I've ever heard. And if you say it's "unrealistic"—look at our world now. Palestine, Congo, Syria, AND more. They don't have to be games like THG, but clearly, hundreds of thousands of children and innocents are dying. If you cannot see that, then society is doomed.

Both Edward and Jacob have strong feelings for Bella, but because Bella can only love one of them and can only pick one of them to love her life with, she essentially is a limited resource.
If they all just kissed in the tent in Eclipse the world would be so different
