really liked it
bookshelves: cried-my-eyes-out

the tier list should be in jeopardy this time. i read that ending. i was there. crying with lana del rey and cookies, but still, i was there. i read that shit. no thanks to lulu.
but alas, it's not.
because while i VISCERALLY HATE how that ended, i'm also a sucker for emotional agony.
so, once again,
darius>>>orion>>>>> caleb>max>>>>>>>>>>seth

the way i spent this entire book being like, oh, this isn't bad at all what was everyone talking about??
then that ending happened.

when i said that i wanted darius to be fucking miserable, i meant HIM not ME.

that was stupid.
that whole book was slowly slowly slowly making my torydarius dreams come true. and then THEY HAD TO GO BE STUPID. i mean they've been stupid but now it had consequences.
you don't know how hard i was staring at those words and wanting them to change through my pure force of will.

that was stupid.
i love tory, but goddamn. i can't even say i'm angry at her though because i understand why she did it and i can't blame her, even if it was STUPID and felt like it was meant to personally hurt me.

and i should hate either or both of them, but i can't. they're annoying as fuck but i'm eating it up. sigh.

honestly, it's really stupid of the authors too because it makes no sense at all for that moment to happen for them then, when they still barely know each other. it would make so much more sense for that to happen to bluelance.

speaking of bluelance, i mean i'm worried about them too, but frankly they're kind of boring so i care less.
you know, i heard someone say that darius was mean, yes, but tory probably wouldn't have liked him if he was nice, and i both think that's true and also why i don't like bluelance the same 😭
i love them because i have no reason to hate them, but i'm too much of a red flag to be in love with them.

anyways, 4.5/5 stars.

message 47: by Musi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Musi ✨Vegacrux’s first child✨ “I should be hate either or both of them, but I can’t. They’re annoying as fuck but I’m eating it up” 😭😭😭 finically a ZA reader who understands me. Don’t dwell on it too much bc it is what it is maybe we like insufferable amount of emotional pain.
I agree with your view on Bluelance too. They were exciting to me at first but I didn’t cared much, they became boring steady for a while before- *sigh*
VEGACRUX TEAM UNITE THOOO


message 48: by SK (new) - rated it 5 stars

SK I wish I could tell you the next one is not pain-free but I can't so brace yourself 😭😭🩷


caitlin @musi YESSSSSS WE AGREE 🥹 and i do like the emotional pain a little so that also might be it 🫢 and yes bluelance was never my favorite they're too unproblematic haha 😭


caitlin @sk oh, so it's still sad. yay? 🥹🤧
