This book has to be the worst in the series. I couldn't stand Tally. I understand the book was supposed to be about what they made her, but she was so annoying. Just me me me all the time while making the stupidest decisions even tho she was "better" than everyone else. She was also supposed to have a redemption arc, but she really didn't? The romance also went nowhere and just seemed dumb to add in at all. 1/5

If I hear the word bubbly or bogus ever again, it will be too soon. Holy cow, I swear both of those words appeared at least once every page, sometimes more than that. I enjoyed this book a little less than the first. I think it is following the same mold for every distopian. The same thing keeps happening to make her into the next thing as well, which is getting old. The writing is still not great. 3/5

I think this book conveys a good message about beauty standards. The characters were shallow, everything happened super fast, very insta-love. I do like the futuristic atmosphere, but the writing is obviously for YA. The ending did have me reaching for the second book, though. 3.75/5

Pride and Prejudice meets The Little Mermaid. Kind of. This was cute.

Last night I loudly declared that I didn‘t care about anyone or anything and I was going on my porch to read. Cue the flooding rain that chased me back inside. Tonight I am whispering quietly that I am hiding from everyone and hoping the weather holds. Not tempting the fates tonight.

I actually got to see David Sedaris speak last week (2nd row!!) and he was amazing. I had no idea he had a children‘s book out… so I grabbed it from the library, wondering what kind of children‘s story would he write? Well, let‘s say it‘s for a very specific audience as it‘s a fine line between scary and funny. I found it funny, but would hesitate to broadly recommend to children. And Ian Falconer was an amazing artist.

Iffffff you want perfectionnnnnn 🎶

Just got home from seeing ‘Death Becomes Her‘ on Broadway. Just as campy and hilarious as the movie. 🍿 🤣
