knew this would be a banger when the epigraphs were two quotes from The Mountain Goats

im not sure if i even have the words for this but i loved it a lot. incredibly freaky my god

this book kinda sorta fucking killed me. i meant to only read a few pages before going to sleep and now i am up in the middle of the night reviewing this
this book is a little cheesy but honestly im a sucker for an optimistic ending despite bad circumstances. 👍👍👍good book, loved it, great library find

man i picked this up on a whim at my library upon seeing it and this was such a banger. ive been interested in skateboarding for a long time but haven’t gotten to try it (ngl i twist/sprain my ankles extremely easily, so it might not be a great sport for me), so this was a super cool book to get to read :)

lovely ya fantasy !! half a star off cause there was a bit of flirting while there were really much higher stakes happening and i always find that annoying, but overall this was wonderful :D

this definitely would have hit better for me if i were more of a horror movie enjoyer :/
this was good though!! i really liked the friend group

the entire plot would never have happened if Regina and Sanaa had just adopted a child instead, and that thought is going to haunt me every time i think of this book

i thought this was pretty alright. not a new favorite, but it worked for background listening while drawing. it was definitely sweet but i would have liked a little more scifi (though i do believe the mc is an alien).

started out cool, ended up really boring.
there is a pov change halfway through this book, and i simply did not like it. previously it was from the vampire’s pov (awesome), then switched to this random modern lady who eventually meets the vampire. meh

yet another banger pirate book
i loved this!! Jacquotte was an awesome mc, i think the plot was well-paced, and yeah the ending is a little idealistic and utopian but i love whimsy and joy
