"skins glowing with health insurance" is CRAZY, my deepest apologies to all my american folk

I'm already annoyed with the writing.

"He shifts his stocky frame on the BURNT-CARAMEL Italian leather. I wonder what sort of sofa he has at home. It sure doesn't cost 5 figures like this 1 did. It's probably some tacky color like ORANGE, covered in pet fur, and with more than 1 rip in the seams."

Does burnt-caramel not sound like a shade of orange to you? Plus, why is this the time to obsess about the cop's couch?

So far I feel that if I wasn’t buddy reading this with my husband that I would have DNFd by now.

I'm feeling low energy today so my question is question is a little different.

🤍Pick Two Hearts🤍 ❤️ You can make a character fall in love with you and bring them to the real world 🩷 You can make any two characters fall in love 🧡 You can kill any character 💛 You can induce selective amnesia so you can read about a fictional world for the first time. 💚 You can break up any fictional couple 💙 You can visit any fictional world but then return to your own 🩵 You can resurrect any character 💜 You can redeem any villain 🤎 You can change bodies with any fictional character 🖤 You can change the ending of any book

My answers are 💚 for one of the Black Dagger Brotherhood couples (that relationship is so f-ing toxic). 💛 for Arctic Fire. My most reread novella. The one that gave me my worst way to die. The one with the biggest emotion punch.

I'm going to blame my social media addiction 💔, but I can't seem to stick with one book until the end recently. Like, I think the last one was a few weeks ago? And that was the Cruel Prince, which I HAD left alone for some time and doomscrolled instead of going back to it.

Like this is killing me I started on book, paused, started another paused, tried reading two at the same time (ugh) then tried another one, paused. I honestly don't want to accept defeat bc that would mean spending my free time doomscrolling instead, which is making me feel sick and disgusted with myself (like really. My brain feels PHYSICALLY churned).

Any ideas, gang?
