3.0

HOW TO GET A GIRLFRIEND (WHEN YOU'RE A TERRIFYING MONSTER) was such a cute and quirky sapphic romance! I loved Trillin's narration and seeing her figure out how to interact with the cute witch she has a crush on. I also found the idea that Trillin is a newly separated fragment of the all-devouring Endless a really interesting concept and I can't wait to see how she navigates a relationship and the human world. This is very short, with only a kiss between Sian and Trillin, and it ends a bit abruptly but their story continues into the next book so I'm looking forward to that.

Favorite Quotes:

And when she did come back, Trillin would say … something. Something really good. Smart. Witty. Maybe even … alluring. Trillin wasn’t entirely sure what alluring meant, but she suspected it was a big part of being girlfriend material.

People would get a bit weird if they realised she didn’t just want to find a way to prevent the Endless from ever threatening Earth again, she kind of wanted to bang it, too. A specific bit of it.

I'm going to be honest, I loved this, but most of the reason for the 5 stars is how the Author described the Archway Lecture Theatres. They really are like that.

Almost died laughing when I got halfway through and realised it was set where I work.
