If you’ve watched the movie, do not worry, there is still many interesting & frightful things to be discovered.
It’s a quick, cozy, & fun read!

I’m so mad that I’ve been working sm because all I wanna do is read this book!
So far, Scarlet is the better sister imo- more of her please. Also, as of rn, I’ve got a feeling that Matty is the werewolf. I’ve got NO proof, nothing in the book has directed me to that though, just a suspicion.
That being said, I’m genuinely surprised by how much I like this within the first 30 pages!

The story Coraline tells abt her dad & the wasps is so sweet! Why didn’t they include that in the movie? It feels like her parents barely acknowledge her existence in the moving- while the book makes it more obvious

Not a book I’d recommend, unless someone was looking for a seasonal junk book to read. The writing is very easy to read, not complex writing, it was fun-ish, & the level of descriptions/details is nice. Especially the transformations. If you read close enough, you’ll be able to guess everything before it happens, including who the original werewolf is. However, get ready to hate all the characters in the book. They’re all self centered or immature, sometimes both. Except Ash. But, from what others have said abt her other books, all her characters are like that. I do wish the book focused more on the parallel between Rory’s transformation & her sister, Scarlett’s, pregnancy. It was one of the more interesting aspect of the book, but the author didn’t explore it much. Maybe she didn’t realize she created that parallel? It was a bit of a let down, truthfully.

Absolutely would have been five stars if Ian died at some point :/

Tbh… I’m not a fan of the percentage update while reading. I don’t get the hype 🤷🏼♀️ I think it’s more work than necessary. I totally get the reading list updates, or reading goal updates. What does everyone else think?? What am I missing??
I’m curious why it was important enough to be added

HELP REQUESTED!
My friend group started passing around books to annotate and gift — each person adds notes, doodles, or little thoughts for the next reader. It’s my turn now, and this copy is for my best friend!
I’ve never annotated a book before, and part of me still cringes at the thought of 'defacing' it, but the book they did for me ended up being one of my favorite gifts ever.
So, give me your best advice! How do you like to annotate? What tools or systems work for you? And if you were getting an annotated book, what kind of notes or touches would you want to see?
Hesitating to Highlight,
🖤 X
