the personification of how it feels to be the middle child.
"Losing Nora" and "Why I Can't Write About My Mother" - 6 out of 5 star writing. so insanely good, it made me want to live inside delia ephron's pen strokes.

ugh, romcoms where one of them has built up grief and the other has untouched trauma. yeah, it's my achilles heel.
...and what if i said that this book would be a masterpiece if the author
a) got over her internalized misogyny
b) passed 8th grade English

i can’t tell how i want to rate this, so i’m just giving it five stars…. LET ME HAVE THIS ONE!!!!!
this is the hardest ACOTAR book to like. it fills you with such rage and annoyance, and there are times you literally have to fight every instinct in your body to actually empathize with the protagonist. it is less so an emotional journey than it is an emotional typhoon. you are dragged! through! the ringer!
that being said… obviously, it’s my favorite.
does this book have flaws? yes. am i choosing to overlook them simply because i am so surprised by the insane amount of character development i just witnessed? also, yes. the third act. the hike scene. tears. literal tears.
this is a book for angry sisters and even angrier daughters--or just the girls who have found themselves in pits of such despair, self-isolation, and total disgust that they’ve craved a release from any sort of love because they are convinced it would be a relief, a told-you-so, or complete permission to stop trying.
i think those girls are allowed to exist on the page, even if people find them unlikeable.
(but like seriously, what a boring opinion to have)
anyways, protecting nesta with a baseball bat, cassian f********cks, and azriel is still my boyfriend. goodnight.

at my core, i am someone who prefers characters over plot... so this was kinda nice. :')
you don't get it!!!! they're a family!!!!!
although, did anything of substance really happen? no
did the smut scene in this make me cringe? maybe
will i do something drastic if i don't get some proper Azriel content where he isn't just brooding in the corner, looking hot? oh, most definitely
