this is a horrible, bitter day because i finished what is probably my favorite book of the year. needless to say i am BIG SAD about it!! i had doubts going into it, after reading parts of the first chapter, because i didn’t understand where the conversation of the main characters was initially going. i had no idea who these characters were and this is (if i’m not mistaken) the first book in the series, yet the authors just threw us in the middle of a fraught relationship almost with no explanation and i needed to take a second and get my bearings. now a reason for this might be because english is only my second language and no matter how much i communicate in this godforsaken language nor how many tv shows/movies i watch or podcasts/audio books i listen to, my understanding of it won’t be 100% maternal, but gosh it had me put down my phone for a few and really think about if i wanted to keep going.

and of fucking COURSE i kept going because i would do anything (and i MEAN anything) for a couple of disaster lesbians. and god i’m glad i kept going y’all!!

first of all, i loved that there was no 3rd act breakup ok!!! i hate that and i wish it was never invented. i freaking wish that idea would get forever erased from people’s brains!! anyway…moving on…. the way bex’s and sam’s relationship was written in this felt SO genuine in the snese that you can just tell it was written by lesbians. it just has something in it that screams it but in a very…idk quiet way?? that is very strong?? i have no idea how to explain it but yeah.

i suck at reviewing books but just!!! aaaah i loved it so much!! i know this might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it was mine, and because it was i’m urging you to pick it up and give it a try at LEAST!!

can’t wait for the second book y’all!!!! (this is my official plea for the publisher to accept my request on netgalley please pretty please with a cherry on top i promise i’ll read it in 2 days and i’ll give it a stellar review i beg 😭😭😭)

hot DAMN i found another series to love and spend my time on. i started it on book 8 because that was available on netgalley and i had a short stint of wanting to read as much as possible from the site but then a slump hit me the likes of which i’ve never seen before and i abandoned everything i had on it (which wasn’t much but what a loss indeed). i managed to get back to it now (thank you netgalley and the publisher for making this available) and i fell in love with it!! such a treat, i honestly didn’t expect to love it as much because i did judge the book by its cover (shame on me i know!) and i thought i will just have to force myself through to get my rating up but from the first chapter, where we get to meet mira’s narration, i fell in love with her automatically. she’s tough, she’s inquisitive and she’s funny as fuck and her friendship with mrs. berns warmed my heart and made me wish I was mira and mira was me because i would have loved having a best friend like her.
