Okay, so this is a long shot, but I need help! When I was in middle school (circa 2011-2013) I read a YA paranormal romance book that I only remember vague portions of.

1. The MC was a female in her teens
2. The MC might have been new to a regular school OR was sent to a specialized school
3. There were two romance options for her during the second half of the book- a dark, brooding option named Damian/Damon & an opposite but equally brooding option named Gabriel (I remember him being described w green eyes)
4. The two romance options definitely had powers or abilities- I believe one of them had wings, but that could be wrong

So, if this book rings a bell, please lemme know! I’ve been searching for it for almost a year now & have found tons of others I’ve read around the same time but never THE one

In case you’re curious, & want a little backstory, when I read the book I was very much team Gabriel. &, however many years later, I’m now engaged to a green-eyed man named Gabriel! (12 yr-old-me is dying rn!!) I’d love to gift him the book for his birthday, as a joke gift!

Thank you xoxox

I’d like to try to level up my book reviews.

Does anyone have rough outlines of things they like to include and comment on in their reviews?

For anyone that's read The Secret History, doesn't Oliver remind you of a grown up Bunny? The bluster, the vague and meandering stories, always calling the protagonist "old boy" and such...despite the different countries, I can totally picture Bunny growing into someone much like Oliver, had he lived.

Is anyone else convinced that Hawthorne hates Hepzibah? Bc, damn, he has been pretty cruel to her so far.

hey everybody, i was glancing through past founder announcements recently and saw one that caused some worry in me, link here

i’ll copy here the specific section of the post that concerned me, so you don’t have to click through and read the full announcement if you don’t want to: “We will start a new program, community-voted Member of the Month (exact language TBD). Each month starting in the Fall, the entire PB community can nominate a user they believe embodies PB values. The user with the most nominations will be awarded a badge and the ability to create a Quest.”

i’d love to hear what other people here think about this feature. personally, i’m concerned that it could turn into a popularity contest/a value system based on who is the most active on PB and which usernames are recognized by the most people. i really hope that there will be something in place to prevent that sort of result, because a popularity contest doesn’t feel like the PB spirit i know. i just don’t believe that voting for a member-of-the-month will be the community-building exercise that it is intended to be.
