The "I have no mouth & I must scream" story was amazing, I loved it. But the rest of them? Boring as fuck or dull and uninspiring, even though, the first one made it worth it.

Nefando • adj. Indigno, repugnante.

La magnífica Ojeda nos regala un libro que hace justicia a su título. Con su pluma inigualable nos expone a abusos de diferentes personajes y la manera tan peculiar en como conllevan lo que les sucedió, haciendo un video juego con material sensible, del cual ellos son protagonistas.

Es un libro que vale mucho la pena pero prosigan con precaución, busquen TW, y entren con la mente muy abierta. Si deciden continuar no se van a arrepentir.

Mostly pretty boring but it makes sense at the end, it does pays off with the last 2 chapters.

I understand why this book is so popular, but it is just so... underwhelming. 

The part of the husbands is SO BORING, Evelyn never feels like the IT girl they repeatedly claim she is, her fame just happens and just ends, is so weird?😭

Celia is insufferable (and clearly biphobic) and has 0 chemistry with Evelyn im sorryyyy and I hate it because I thought I would adore this couple. 

Their wedding though??? Cute as fuck. And the last line? Iconic as hell. 

Btw the covers are a little annoying to me since I never expected for Evelyn to have some MEGABADONKAS because the Evelyn Hugo in the covers has a very normal chest(? And as a member of the big titty committee i see this as erasure 😔/j

But really just put a big chest girlie in the covers, don't be shy.

Anyways, I just hope that YA authors take a little more risks and don't let their works be consumed by booktok tropes cuz yall have some great ideas here they just need a little more flavor.

Gonna watch the movie anyways.

I have...so many questions 

First of all, are the twins the prince's kids?... or like Rapunzel left her husband (in case she married the kids father) and kids for the Prince and the Kingdom? Because it's never cleared if she took her kids with her😭
