Sherlock really had a rough time throughout this book,
torture and kidnapped
and now at the end of this book
he’s on a ship heading to China
like dang Andrew Lane keeps me on my toes that’s for sure. 

Anyway I loved Matty and Sherlock’s dynamic in this book and I was not expecting for
Virginia to kiss Sherlock and for her to do so more than once
those two are adorable. The way that Sherlock’s deductions progressed was really good too. 

Can’t wait to get started on the next one, whenever that may be 😂

God I loved this book. Definitely going to one of my all time favourites. Sophia’s fight to the very end to
ending Manfred’s reign
meant so much to me and
stopping the tyranny over the people allowing for women to be free and have actual choices
was so important to me and I’m so proud of her

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
I hated the telling instead of showing aspect of this. It just felt like I should’ve been seeing the things that Simon was mentioning, because those sounded interesting but instead it was just telling which felt lackluster to me.

God I loved this book. The way the four different points of views from each character overlapped. The twists and turns I speculated on but could not confirm.
I didn’t expect for it to be Richard or for Oliver to be involved but wow.
Each of these characters are tremendously flawed. I cried reading
Cecilia’s rape
and loved Maisie so much. I also thought the way Tom and Cecilia’s relationship progressed to a point that both could accept was so good. Oliver though, I can’t like him no matter what. He just did things he shouldn’t have over and over again.

I didn’t particularly like the Tom & Suzie romance storyline, it just made no sense to me and also killing my boy in the end? That made me feel so unsatisfied. Also why bring Jack in if he wasn’t going to do anything?
Yeah not a fan of this.

I loved this book so much. Definitely one of my favourites I think. I just loved the found family of it all and just the way Jane and August’s relationship developed plus August’s own character development. Myla made me laugh so many times, same with Niko and Wes.

Why did you put ableist language in a book with an autistic kid…

I found myself relating so hard to Jet’s dysphoria and
when a complete stranger just validated their want to be a boy
, yeah that was so good and so satisfying.
