I'm barely even into this and oh my fucking GOD does this author write in such an impactful way. I've already highlighted a handful of quotes that hit straight to my heart. So intense and heavy and rich, yet I need more.

I can't tell if I'm getting old or hard to please, but istg p much every book that I pick up bc its super popular or has raving reviews is just SUPER lackluster? Like I can't do booktok bc most of them I wind up returning. All the Bright Places, Emergency Contact, They Both Die At The End, Shadow and Bone, etc. It gets worse when I'll check the reviews on goodreads and it got stellar reviews and I'm sat here like 🤔

I am very close to DNF-ing this book. The pacing is so slow and I'm not connecting with Addie. Anyone have spoiler free motivation for this book? ⚠️ Spoilers may be in comments for those wanting to read this book!

I saw this question in one of my groups and thought it was so fun! Interested to read your answers 😋

"because..... she came here with me" I love you so much Peeta, you are insanely smart and manipulative. Katniss is so oblivious here because she doesn't know and is scared to trust anything. Partly because she's had to care for her sister and mom since her dead died, so she can't have more people count on her, but also because she is deeply caring and won't risk losing another person that's close to her. It's just self-preservation. I sometimes wish we could have a Peeta pov, because I want to know the moment he truly fell for her, and when he knew it.

I used to be a reader who would never ever DNF anything. But it's been really freeing in the last year or so to allow myself to move on if i'm not vibing with a book. So I wanna hear the silliest, most petty reasons you've DNF'd a book before. Mine was about 30 pages into a book when the MMC said in his head that the FMC was "barely pretty" and I just wasn't here for those vibes.
