I’mma say this, Elliot is the OG yearner.

This book was…. Interesting to say the least it had a good plot ig? But I don’t really understand the relevance of Sean in this book like yeah I guess we needed Macy to be “in love with” someone when she finally reunite with Elliot, but then both of them are just emotionally unavailable throughout the whole relationship and the relationship itself is moving way too fast like what was the point of being in that relationship, then?? future security? Bullshit which is also how I feel about Rachel if the whole point was for him to have a girlfriend then why make him break up with her the second he sees Macy again. Like what was homeboy thinking? That his feelings for Macy would not return when he sees her again even though he was with someone else? He basically just treated her like a rebound of sorts.

Macy initially felt kind of toxic though (in the “then” parts, especially) but Elliot was better I guess. Like I said OG yearner. You could physically feel him yearning for her throughout the book, which kind of made it cute. Kind of.

Also, I (like many other readers of this book) hate that Elliot’s sexual assault was just overlooked?? Like the poor guy suffered and then had to bear the title of being “a cheater”.

Anywho, this book didn’t start out strong, but ended in the most predictable yet good way

3.25/5

I'm not sure if I'm in love with the writing style tbh...some poems did resonate with me but the others just felt like random thoughts written just so that the book can have more pages... It wasn't too bad ig but I wish it could have a little more ‘‘something''

I got so bored cause it kept getting repetitive... The last story was the only good one imo

Holy shit, I did it...I actually did it...I managed to get through a Stephen King book without dnf-ing
Honestly it was a pretty good book (except for obvi, the racist dialogues and the misogynism) and it did not tire me out like I thought it would
Hopefully I'll get to read more Stephen King books and maybe it might be less racist?

The definition of a cozy book

Elizabeth Zott the woman that you are....honestly speaking not a fan of science, but she makes me want to take up a career in Science...also how is it that I understood everything she said about chemistry, but couldn't grasp a thing during my chemistry class?

P.S Does anyone know where someone can find a dog like six thirty? Asking for a friend

Hated the writing style, the plot line was okay though

No doubt about it
5 goddamn stars...
Also the ending? it felt like I was watching a movie

The first time I picked this up, I could not go through with it and dnf'd at the starting....I'm starting to regret that now.

Honestly I've never been so bored in my life before

As much as I enjoyed reading this book there were a few unanswered questions that I would've loved to be answered, like what happened to the necklace thar Dale gave? Did she ever get to meet Cyn, Desi and the other in the future? But at the same time, I'm glad that Dale dying and Oona putting Kenzie up for adoption weren't mentioned because that would've been repetitive

I gotta say, I did see the way Manford kept his youth coming from a mile way but I didn't anticipate that last twist

I think I might love fairy-tale retellings now!

Celie, I will never understand how your heart bears this much love even after going through so much

This was an interesting book to read... I was quite surprised with the writing style but somehow the words itself hook you in
