jenny han manages to do it every time and i don’t know how. i am in love with this woman. wish i read this series before i saw the show but whatevs, don’t know if ill read the next one because i feel like the show has a lot of gaps during this part. it was a good silly romance book until it wasn’t

i actually finished this a while ago but i forgot to do this. it was bad and the random scene in there that DID not need to be in there was very unnecessary and i wish this was written better because it’s a cool concept

“this one isn’t gorey” -ktl. it definitely has its quirks i will admit. loved the part where they found out that gideon was a ginger, great reaction that definitely didn’t feel weird.

it’s a very interesting book to say the least. if i didn’t find all the dumb stuff so funny this would be like a 3. I like dol though and the concept is cool. it’s kinda weird to be learning about trauma and reading this book at the same time, but kinda cool ngl
