    Honestly I could go without reading about Whingey Winnie ever again.

    As one of my favourite series - how did this plummet so quickly

    Edged within an inch of my life through this whole book.

    Particularly the end- when I didn’t realise book 2 isn’t out yet 🫠

    Groups listen on a car trip 👯‍♀️

    This was an easy listen - but very minimal substance and lot and supppppppper instant love which I despise so not a good one for me.

    Also an irritating amount of cooking eveything from scratch and mention of preservative free food but then the constant mention of being a heavier girl was also grating me.

    Plus we skipped over the fact there was a 20 year age gap - if a 40 year old man talked like that to me, and wore red boxers- VETOED ✌️.

    Anyway, this was a good lol in the car with the gals

    DNF for me sorry everyone not really a dark academia for me or at least the level of dark I wanted. Also very YA feeling.

    Sarah is less and less likeable as this goes on.

    Everyone is in their own grandiose world just trying to make a name for themselves but Sarah is giving the victim mentality to me and trying to create an “I’m not like them” persona but really- she is.

    Had to DNF.

    Audiobook made everything and everyone way more unlikeable. And I actually don’t care enough about people’s self elevating dreams and what happens when it doesn’t work out. Naivety , Tantrums , entitlement and self pity don’t sit well with me
