when I was in paris (!!!!) I went to shakespeare and co. and bought the same book as my friend ellen, we both wrote little notes for each other in the other person's book and read 30 pages a week and updated each other!! this was such a fun experiment and we're gonna do a second book soon!! I didn't add the more personal ones but it was actually so lovely to read messages from my friend months later that she had written while we were sitting right next to each other in the middle of one of the best weeks of my life🥲🥲 in that way, this was one of the best reading experiences I've had this year! now. that's all the good stuff out of the way. if we don't account any of this for my formal review (which I won't) this was literally the worst book I've read this year and is in the running for worst books I've read maybe everðŸ˜ðŸ˜ this was all over the place, I didn't care about any of the characters, the writing was nothing special, it didn't really say anything and the story was literally so random and weird but for no reason. this would have been whatever but the last 40 pages put this in to maybe worst book ever category : in the last 40/50 pages, the main character gets kidnapped and is sex trafficked, she tries to kill many of her aggressors, she falls in love with one of them who is a pianist and he promises to marry her after one day then he dies randomly, then she gets sold to an asexual prince and she spends her days hanging with her until she finds a magic genie who grants her a wish and she wishes for the pianist to never have died but then the genie does something weird and then she gets trapped in the genie bottle and then the genie lets her out (I think???? I'm so confused???) and then that's the end? and also her magic cat dies in a car crash and is never brought up again mind you the other 300+ pages in this story are totally different and are about her as a poor girl in a fancy school and her rich friends doing weird witchy stuff and insane sex rituals and crazy shit but then tag is just thrown out of the window and never mentioned after she is kidnapped in the last 10% of the book????? 1 starðŸ˜
