did not like it
bookshelves: arcs

** spoiler alert ** i just binged this whole book in the past 4 hours out of spite because of how much i did not like it

don’t get me wrong, i hate that i didn’t like this because it’s about lesbians!!!! that’s literally me!!!! i’ll begin by listing the things i liked because they’re (sadly) few and far between.

1) phoebe bridgers was name dropped once and taylor swift was name dropped like 5 times and there were some great t’is the damn season and all too well metaphors going on.
2) the smut scenes were kind of hot ???

sorry in advance

1) WHY DID JACK HAVE A FOOT FETISH LIKE ARE WE BRUSHING PAST THAT???
2) insta love can be well done SOMETIMES but this was absolutely not the case…you can’t create a demisexual character and then the plot be that their demisexuality doesn’t apply to one particular person…
3) JACK BLAMING ELLIE FOR RUNNING AWAY WHEN HER LITERAL WIFE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR??? OF COURSE ELLE WAS GOING TO LEAVE IF SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS A ONE NIGHT STAND WHEN SHE FELL IN LOVE!!!!
4) i love hands, i really do, but that can’t be the only thing you’re attracted to about jack, right elle???
5) stupid stupid stupid miscommunication
6) i swear everyone in this book behaved like literal children
7) the second tiktok was mentioned twice i should have stopped
8) the millennial humor and pop culture references just were absolutely not it
9) WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WRITE A WEBCOMIC ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP YOURE CURRENTLY IN WHEN THERES 200K ON THE LINE THAT COULD KEEP YOU FROM BEING HOMELESS
10) pls never describe someone as smelling like bread ever again. especially when they’re a baker.
11) wtf is a quarter moon smile

ok i’ll stop i’m sorry i really wanted to love this book

Alissa I liked this book but your review is accurate and made me laugh


Kinsey Boston I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t figure out what a fucking quarter moon smile is 😭 I just declared this a DNF at like 80%


Kathleen Selden Okay #10 and #11 though! By the end I literally put the book down so I could throw my whole head back while rolling my eyes…the eye roll alone was not enough 🙄


Emily the quarter moon smile killed me


Candice Conner I’m about halfway through, and if I see quarter moon smile one more time I’m going to have to DNF


Imanegg Lmao this list is so accurate. I can’t figure out what Jack’s smile looks like at all


Krisztina Soto what the fuck is a quarter moon smile INDEED
