I NEED MORE OF THEM OMFG

confusing

and what is up with my prof and these predator stories

i’m so happy i decided to branch out and try out different genres this year cause i’m really enjoying it :) i have no idea how i found this but it’s something i found on my own and i’m proud of myself for starting a novel without knowing anyone opinions beforehand (because i seem to always read books based off of that).

this was another lovely read. nothing spectacular and the mystery aspect was a little underwhelming but it still kept me very entertained. the premise was really cool. I often question how people used to be and how places were many years before i stepped into them. it’s so interesting so this was right up my alley.

darby & rose’s lives were at times so similar that i had trouble differentiating them but i think it was made to be that way (?) to show that we are not as different as we think we are to the women that came before us.

this whole book felt like a slam poem

also i couldn't stop thinking about when ryan read a collection of poems and said it was too nature-y LMAO

a little hard to follow, although it was pretty, i didn't resonate with it much

that was too short :(

the ending omg

i didn’t even read it yet i’m just really upset about what i heard

how could you fuck up this bad like for real

i know this is a depressed woman staple but i did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would. i didnt love it, nor did i hate it. honestly, it was just a little boring in my opinion. although i did love the concept & do wish i could sleep for a whole year and come out a better person lol, the execution fell a little flat for me.

im aware that the mc was created to be an absolute horrible person and she delivered

3-3.5 (not really sure what to rate this)

wow, what a ride. i started this book after hearing my teacher summarize a little what this book is about and i was like omg i need to read that. i went home remembering I had a king book in my basement and lucky me, it was the exact one i wanted (kinda creepy

this was exactly what I was looking for and I wasn't disappointed! the only thing I have to say is I did wish more crazy shit happened because in this world, this cult was supposedly "so famous" and I was hoping it would be a little more insane.

I guess its focus was more on Evie's coming of age which is why they didn't make too many crazy things happen to not take your full attention away from her story. And honestly, I just felt so extremely sad for the main character throughout the whole book.

brb gonna recommend this to my coming of age fiction teacher lol
