A slow burn for sure. I feel like maybe if I listened on audiobook I'd enjoy more but as much as I love Silvia, this one just didn't do it for it me.
This one might take the cake for worst boom I've read this year.
I was SO close to DNFing and everyone knows I DO NOT do that.
Had to move to 2.5-3x speed to get through the last 2/3rds of this but the beginning was no better
Probably a 3.5-3.75.
I'm surprised there wasn't more buzz about this. Very in the vein of Elin Hilderbrand (with less experience under the belt) it was enjoyable from start to finish.
This hit every single one of my heartstrings and I'm on the verge of tears. Beautiful and perfect in every way.
whoever said this is like when the coffee gets cold is a liar and owes me time back for this. Pretty sure I didn't catch a word of the last 1/3
This feels like a y/n self insert fanfic throughout the history of religious based women who were wrong except obvi with Lilith rather than the author herself.
Anthologies are so unbelievably hard to rate. Some of these were amazing standouts and some I downright hated (one I even had to skip through). I still feel it's worth the read though.
To truly rate and comprehend this, I think I would need to be in an academic setting to discuss. Maybe I'll reread when I'm older and wiser
I'm sorry to everyone who's had to hear me talk about this the past few weeks and everyone who will have to hear me talk about this in the future
3.5 rounded up. I did read spoilers of the authors acknowledgment so I think that probably made it make more sense than it would have but honestly i really enjoyed this
I was reluctant at first because this doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy but boy was it beautiful— maybe I'll go read Thornton wilder now,,, I feel like it'd be right
Format is clunky - maybe would've been better for me as an audiobook. Had to suspend a lot of disbelief throughout the book to go with the end.
I truly think this is a must read for everyone. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's all across the board and it's beautiful and heartbreaking all at once, truly just like the end of life
I didn't think it was possible to hate a book more than I hated Catcher in the Rye but here it is! I would genuinely rate this negative stars if that was an option.
It was really going to be 4 stars (I'd say it's 3.5 now) there's just too many convenient “coincidences” that you can see from across the galaxy for me
Emily Weiss must be real happy with this book. For anyone looking for content, quality writing, substance, skip this one.
Like a meld of Fall of the House of Usher and Verity. Really great, took too long to get where it needed to and the ending was all a little much for me but still worth the read
Sorry but as a fellow autistic person, rose was annoying.
Did not know this was “ya” but it makes sense now. I wanted so much more of the camp, and it just wasn't there (nor ~camp~ like bury your gays)
Just didn't hit for me, sorry
Yes I am in love with every single person in this book, and what about it?
(Except the one very obvious person I am not but if you read it, duh)
