okay but why did this book hit so fucking hard?? i was so unsure at first, lowkey weirded out, but whenever i took a break from reading, all i could think about was this book. it’s the only book ive ever imagined so vividly; it felt like the characters were real and mouldable and honest and raw and so fleshed out that i felt like i could dissect them myself. the third act break up was not the boring thing i expected to be, and to be honest it kinda tugged on my heart strings
there were moments where i thought i was going to cry, and why are billie and vaughn so much better outside of their own book???
i loved reading this after chestnut springs cause it felt like a background characters backstory—i knew cole and violet were married with kids but i knew nothing about them or their relationship or their origin story and i knew their group of friends from powerless so to actually get to know these seemingly random characters so intimately (and elsie silver will make sure you know them intimately and so so honestly) is so cool
