Ever After Always by Chloe Liese

I really tried to stick it out but I just couldn’t. The pacing feels slow, I don’t really care about the characters, and the constant evocation of Adrian’s sob story childhood just didn’t do it for me. Feels like a shallow and poorly conceived play on tired stereotypes. On to the next!

writing is way too on the nose and packed with clichés - very pink brain blue brain vibes which I could not deal with, and super predictable. I also didn’t care about the characters. Disappointed because I loved the hating game so much but this one is simply not for me. Next!

at the risk of sounding reductive: Her Mind!! Always in awe of Bechdel’s work and her ability to weave complex connections and family lore into a seamless and sprawling introspective dreamscape. Feels like reading theory and an academic paper and a graphic novel all at the same time (and that is a compliment).

occasionally weird intonation for Gaby’s chapters, and this author loves to say “his eyes shot wide” literally all the time (take a shot every time you hear it for a fun drinking game), but otherwise a fun and cute time.
