    Thoughts from 24%

    It's like being plunged back into the parts of Asian culture I've spent years trying to unlearn. From the hyper-focus on appearances to the emotional suppression packaged as "respect," it mirrors everything I've found exhausting growing up in an Asian household. The worst part? It's not even challenged-it's just presented as inevitable, as if there's no other way to exist. I'm so close to wanting to DNF

    I did not realize how difficult it is to read a book where you're not rooting for the fmc. I wanted her to fail and be homeless, truth be told. And I'm miffed that things worked out in her favour miraculously may I add, without her having to do much if anything. I love SK's fmc from her other books but Rebecca was insufferable.

    Also the romance plot felt unnecessary and did not add much to her already terrible character as it made her sound even more shallow and garbage-like.

    I find myself praying to God to help this nut job of a woman.

    Page after page when Willow thinks "what if it's too soon?" Here's me screaming IT IS TOO SOON. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if she heard me.

    It mentioned a cousin who wanted to hex her ex and I immediately thought it was our girl Vivienne and my brain blacked out and for good while I was thinking I'm reading the kiss curse and then I was just confused 🥲🥲 Anywho I hate the way this book progresses. It's rather insta love and cringe cringe lines

    I love reliving teenage hood through books like this. Always surprising to see what matters then and what matters now and how much you've grown.
