    obsessed. i'd heard mixed things about this - the book is reviewed so positively on SG but each booktuber i'd heard talking about it gave it closer to 3 stars or even less, so i was doubtful, but got it on a whim when it went on sale and i am SO glad i did lovely characters, great relationships and i love the family built together, believable motivations for characters, laugh out loud funny on so many occaisions and really tender romance. i just loved it so much

    I've heard so many amazing things about this book that I decided to give it a try even though YA and romance are very much not my preferred types of reads. I was very surprised with just how much I ending up liking it. It was not just the cutesy romance I was anticipating, but a solid story of political shenanigans and the struggle, even in modern times, for LGBTQ+ acceptance.

  • A new Pagebound Club + introducing Founder Announcements! (3/17/25)

    Hi everyone! As our community has grown, we’ve seen the Pagebound Club used as a forum for general bookish chatter. In an effort to provide both a general community space and keep a forum for product announcements, we’ve split what was previously Pagebound Club into two separate clubs: Founder Announcements and Pagebound Club. You can find the new Pagebound Club in the Discuss tab, along with a 3rd feed for “Club Posts.” This is the place to go for more general reader convos that don’t fit neatly into a quest or book forum. Founder Announcements is where you will find our Product & Dev updates. A link to this club is in the footer. Only Lucy and I are able to post here - to send us feedback or flag a bug, please use the forms linked in the footer. This new setup makes it easier for folks to see all the official announcements without them getting buried :) Also, we have turned off comment notifications for the welcome post - apologies to everyone who has gotten dozens of welcome post notifications! We hope everyone enjoys the new Pagebound Club, can’t wait to see the new convos over there! Happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy

    I haven't read a fantasy book in what feels like the longest time, as if I read fantasy, I tend to lean more towards a magical realism or something still set in the "real world" because it's world building I struggle with (takes me so long to understand worlds being established sometimes lol), but this one I've gotten into and understood so quickly. Also, I love Locke atm. I really hope nothing happens to his character.....
