I haven't read it yet but I have been watching Lili Reinhart's tiktoks and I notice she's always in red and Tom Bateman is in black. Is that part of the story? Without spoiling it ofc.

Okay I know it's still early but I highly recommend the audiobook. It's a weird analogy but it's like hearing figure skating tea? LOL you know how some audiobooks have that podcast/radio element. This has like a gossip feel. (I did search more about the audiobook, turns out it was intentional lol. It gives an immersive experience.)

I’ve definitely read some that I didn’t like at all, but there are also a few that I’ve really connected with. I don’t see them as something that’s going to fix my life, but I do like having them around for when I need a little perspective or motivation. Sometimes I see TikToks making fun of these books and it makes me wonder if it’s weird that I actually enjoy some of them. Like I know it's not for everyone but it kinda makes me feel that these books are a "scam" by the way they're reacting.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how different it feels to read fanfiction compared to physical books. With fanfiction, certain tropes (enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, coffee shop AUs, etc.) are almost expected and even comforting, like you know exactly what you’re signing up for. In published books, the same tropes sometimes feel more judged, as if they need to be subverted or made more original. For me, fanfiction can also be more comforting because you already know the world and the characters, so it feels easier to dive in and just enjoy the story. Physical books, on the other hand, often feel more polished and permanent, which changes the reading experience. How is it for you? Do you experience fanfiction and published books differently? And what do you think about tropes in both worlds: comforting or cliché? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I can’t believe I really thought they were going to break my heart. This book was such a disappointment compared to the first one. Still, I appreciate that what they went through was addressed but I just wish it had been a bigger part of the story.
