pickWeird, YA eldritch horror. Finch‘s cluelessness was a bit grating at times, but she navigates her way through her relationships & friendships at a prestigious performing arts school with a hidden horror.
Playing around with displays again (I mean sure, I could have shelved non fiction but this was loads more fun)
so-soIt was ok but I just wasn‘t that into it. I ended up skimming the last quarter of it tbh
About half way in and so far I‘m feeling meh. Maybe it‘ll get better or maybe it won‘t be for me. Idk yet
so-soAfter a terrible one-night-stand, Iris and Stevie run into each other at auditions for Stevie‘s ex‘s play. Out of desperation, they decide to fake date, Iris for inspo for her book, Stevie so her friends will get off her back.
There was some messed up logic that bugged me in this book. Lots of things I would consider tiny were blown up and lots of big things were shrugged off.
Also, Stevie‘s friends were the worst.
pickEven though not everything is done correctly in this book (one difficult character should've gotten more attention and a real solution to her problems), I liked this book more than I thought I would. I was surprised by how much of me I found in Imogen. Same thoughts, struggles, over-thinking, questioning. There are some problematic parts, but I still think this work might help some people finding themselves.
When Finn and I are drinking in dark bars, we forget we are in public, it‘s as though we go underwater. When we finish kissing, she pulls away and looks around, saying, Woah, everything is still here. We spend the nights looking at each other and not much else.
I ask Finn if things are always this insane and dramatic between two women, and she says yes. She says it's either like this, or monotonous and boring. As if there is no in-between.
