Not Forever But For Now by Chuck Palahniuk
Did not finish book.

I can handle a lot in books but like-

incest

is NOT it. Wasn’t very fond of anything to do with the taxidermy animal (I think Panther) either…

This book ruined my life /positive

Listen, while I may deduct points for no mando’a glossary, and in general, just being tired of Etain-
The way this book goes into depth about clones, their relationship with family, and how they exist in relation to the Republic made me lose my mind. I’m going to be rereading it 100%. 

Also, I swear to god, if I had a nickel for every time a clone I loved got into a blast and almost died I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I love like Maul I’m biased. Doesn’t get 4 stars cause it felt SLOW. Maul rambles so much. His relationship with Sidious was also really close to what living with an abusive parent was like 💀  

ngl him taking Padmé’s room just for shits and giggles was worth reading the entire book
