“you are a fox,” andrew said, like it was that simple, and maybe it was.

queria conseguir mostrar a quantidade de adesivos que coloquei pra cada cena que me deixa emocionada. é absurdo como depois de anos eu ainda sinto que to sempre lendo pela primeira vez, sem conseguir evitar de chorar e de ficar arrepiada com o que acontece. conhecer meus foxes com certeza uma das melhores coisas que me aconteceu, e literalmente me salvou. fico feliz de poder ver e acompanhar a história deles e de como se encontraram e formaram uma família assim. te amo foxes te amo

ps: primeira vez lendo depois de saber sobre sunshine court e não to me aguentando de ansiedade. simplesmente amar jeremy knox e jean moreau

This book is, not unlike the full series, not very good objectively, but it's so fun. The characters are funny and interesting and lovable, and there are a lot of missed opportunities when it comes to cool scenes that could have happened and should have happened but that's what fanfiction is for!

Not sure I have thoughts on this one. Took me one day to read when I should be revising to not fail my exams. Anyway.
This book (series) is very bad. Bad bad. I can’t even begin to LIST the triggers, everyone who said there were a lot was absolutely correct. Wasn’t expecting to be this repulsed after the “tame” first book.
The characters still don’t really have personalities (or very confusing one), the rep is MORE THAN PROBLEMATIC and I would like to punch someone because who in their right mind thought “this is an appropriate way to portray queer people and mental illness” 
I also don’t know what to do with my life now.
