    this is my third time trying a book of the “cozy” variety, and after an n3 sample size, as much as i tried and would love to be, i don’t think i’m a cozy fantasy/romance sort of reader.

    i’m glad i gave the genre the minimum of significant tries, to say the least.

    it was an enjoyable read, and the ending tied all the ends into a neat bow, more or less, if you forget about some of the historical lore that was introduced.

    surprised that the book spanned as much as it did across different perspectives and timelines. the banter between the main leads was very fun and well-written, however i wasn't completely sold on it. 3.75/5

    any kpop/en- fans?

    I was going through the enhypen discography and their song “outro : cross the line” matches the night circus vibe so well… its equal parts fancy, whimsy, and eerie 🎪🖤

    sometimes its hard for me to push my reading boundaries outside of booktok recommendations, so i picked up this book because ive never heard of this author and thought the back cover blurb was interesting. i love a sci-fi set mystery where we are just kind of taken for a ride, so im excited where this takes me!

    celeste ng does it again :D wonderful prose that strung me along to discover mia's past and explain the turbulent dynamic of the not-so-utopian small town of shaker heights.

    was surprised that ng grew up in the same town set in the book, which I thought was a fictional town. at the same, she painted well certain themes and experiences that fit the setting of 1990s suburbia: racial ignorance, growing class disparity, and spiraling teenage choices. 4.25/5
