i do plan to eventually go back to this book but at the time of starting it i did not have the time nor the energy to give it the attention it deserved
Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo
4.5
the ending felt rushed compared to the slow crescendo of the rest of the book.
edit: 4.5 because i'm still thinking about this book and it's been weeks
(i also didn't realize i left no positive thoughts here, but the plot is interesting, the supernatural elements are lovely, riley is phenomenal, and sam and andrew are still taking up space in my head.)

Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater

while this series doesn't compare to trc in numerous ways, i believe it reaches incredibly important depths and offers more lore than you could ever dream of. declan getting the closure he needed so badly and allowing himself to be honest, with himself and others, ugh I'm going to throw up. these boys. the fucking lynches man. also the epilogue are you joking. ronan being like i don't even consider myself ronan and I'm barely human but still wheres adam? adam. is adam okay? my adam. I need to find adam?

oh boy. this book took me over a year to actually read. i started it early august of 2021, abandoned it halfway through for god knows why, and didn't find the motivation to come back to it until early december 2022. i'm grateful i came back to it, as i enjoyed it so much more the second time around. the lynch brothers, how phenomenal they are.
