    It's "I Kissed Shara Wheeler" but make it neurodivergent.

    (I'm sorry for the hamburger emoji but Zack's tally really stuck with me 😂)

    Did I like Mia as a character? No? Yes? 🤔 She is probably one of the most realistically written characters of any book I've read. So there's that.

    I’m intrigued

    Is this worth it??? I see fanart EVERYWHERE and I’m intrigued if it actually has as much romance as it seems from an outside point of view 🤔

  • Small updates (feed + avatars)

    Quick announcement of some smaller updates -

    We have new avatars for levels 3 and 4. Level 3 has two new dragons to choose from, and level 4 has three food-inspired avatars 🥐🌶️🍚

    We also have two new feeds on your homepage. You'll see your Main Feed (the normal feed you're used to), a Following feed (just activity from people you follow) and My Books (the feed that is currently on Discuss, this is just posts from books in your library). Many people have been asking for a following feed :)

    In your Main feed and My Books feed, you will no longer see posts from TBR books that are marked as spoilers.

    We're aware of an intermittent bug on the app when posting in the book forum (from the book page specifically). The feed updates + a bug fix for this is out on iOS, please update your app to see these changes. On Android, we're still awaiting app approval - in the meantime there is a workaround : use the currently reading card on your home feed, which has a "Post to Forum" button, to post rather than going to the book page.

    I am literally waiting for my Libby hold of She Came for Blood to come through but I have to wait for 12 MORE WEEKS. Emphasis on the more because I placed the hold when the quest first came out. 🥹😐 Bless the small local library wait times (For real though, no hate. At least they actually had a copy.)

    TLDR: I wanted to like this book so badly, but it felt like an extended Reddit AITAH story in which the only acceptable response is ESH (everyone sucks here).

    2.25 rounded up to 2.5

    This book certainly had its bright moments and despite my low rating, I can't say I didn't enjoy many parts of it. I enjoyed that the characters were allowed to be messy and I adored Delilah's every interaction with Ruby. Also, let's be for real here, Delilah was just straight up hot a lot of the time and I can't pretend I wasn't into it. The levity that her banter with Iris brought definitely amused me and, unusually, I liked every outfit that AHB put her in. I love a character with style. On top of that, while I didn't fully read the sex scenes as I don't enjoy explicit content, what I did read was well-written and deliciously sapphic.

    All of that said, the bright moments of this book were sabotaged by equally dark moments. For example, though I said that Delilah was hot, I was very turned off by her lack of maturity. She's not alone in that insufficiency as, frankly, none of the characters in this book were emotional adults. They shifted between characters who had a real shot at growth and caricatures who continually chose not to do emotional work. Astrid's reasons for being with Spencer were never fully explored, Claire never reached a satisfying resolution with Josh (yes, he did some work at the end, but he also used manipulative language throughout the book that wasn't addressed whatsoever), Delilah couldn't separate the trauma of losing her parents from the common experience of childhood bullying (though it really wasn't full-on, hardcore bullying. I think her self-consciousness and lack of emotional support as a child exacerbated what is a pretty common childhood experience then her complete lack of self-awareness and willingness to take responsibility for her own emotional well being turned her into a childish adult.), and Iris was literally just there for levity with a side of childish pranks and sex obsession.

    The plot also suffered from a lack of focus. Astrid's wedding and relationship are central, but they don't get much air time because we're focused on Claire and Delilah who are each dealing with their own sets of problems including parenting and coparenting which are sidelined every time the group comes together because of their childhood issues. Unfortunately, AHB didn't manage to satisfyingly wrap up any of these sub-plots for me. On top of that, while is was intended to be an adult-toned book, AHB unintentionally blended YA into all of the rom-com parts and some of the more serious ones. Of course, even the most serious of books require a bit of levity, but the childish pranks and the lack of adult level emotional depth outside of it left me feeling like I was reading a first-year college romance.

    All in all, I did enjoy this book at times, but I was left incredibly unsatisfied. I may try to read one of the sequels as I could see potential and I've heard that they are better, but I would not recommend this book if you're picky with character likability, adults acting like adults, and fully fleshed-out plots. If you're in it just for a few vibes and hot sex scenes, you might like this.
