    Puck and Prejudice
    2.5
    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 2.5Characters: 2.0Plot: 3.0

    I WISH I had liked this bc the premise was so quirky and fun, but unfortunately I felt the romance was really underdeveloped and didn't show much progression. the characters were pretty flat, and I never really felt their chemistry. I feel like this could have been a really fun read if it had leaned into the absurdism of it all as a rom-com and almost satire of popular booktok books

    this novel is convincing me even more that 2nd person POV is such a powerful literary tool, it just works so perfectly with Constasta addressing him so boldly

    I think the audiobook narrator for Parisa is ruining her character for me 😅😭 I like her so much more when she’s in other characters chapters 😅

    still liking so far but if you say the word 'sojourner' one more time..... I had a running 'sojourner' tally last night but I forgot what number I was on lol, I think it's at least 6 by now.... not a big deal just bugging me now that I noticed it lol (sorry in advance to anyone I infect with this problem)

  • Do you guys use proper bookmarks for your physical reads?

    Or what are some of your chaotic ways to bookmark?

    I've recently found small joys in using cute Pokemon cards as my bookmarks! I dabble in collecting One Piece cards but not Pokemon so I'm not as attached but still love them. I got a bunch of bulk cards from my brother so I've just been slotting them in everywhere that I've lost track who's in where. I think I like the idea that I have cute little Pokemon living in my books now.

    It feels almost as if I'm one of the few (which is fine, OBVIOUSLY, I don't judge that) who likes Alice a lot and can relate to her? I do think it helps that I am on an equal path, with the goal of getting my PhD in the long run, but I find her extremely human in how flawed she is, but that she also knows she is, and that ... I don't know. So far, I feel she is trying her best in a world that wants to see most people fail.

    I started this because it was such an unserious premise, I though it would be a self-aware funny read, but unfortunately it is taking itself a little too seriously so far
