i'm just here to watch the shitshow that goes down when taylor swift and her team realize some girl straight up plagiarized multiple songs of hers, stole her (likely copyrighted) characters Betty, James, and Inez, wrote about REAL LIFE JOE ALWYN AND ESTE HAIM WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION, published it for profit, and sues her ass lmao
when are we, as a society, going to stop reading colon hoover vacuum's abuse-glorifying books? i hope this is the wake-up call for some people.

Well that was boring. It's as if someone took Midsommar and threw in a whole bunch of boring people and plots, and it was just a boring mess.
How many times can I say boring? Boring, boring, boring. Haha
Ok I'll stop now.
DNF ~ 10%Meh. Can't be bothered to say anything. Go read my [b: An Abundance of Katherines 49750 An Abundance of Katherines John Green https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1360206426l/49750.SY75.jpg 48658] review. :)
"The world turned and flung me."
I did not want to read this book at first.
This book was given to me as a gift by my grandparents. I had no interest in reading it when I had received it. None. At all. I throught this was going to be the most boring book in the world. I let this book sit on my shelf for about a year before I picked it up.
I then realized that I was very, very wrong.
Ths book was absolutely hilarious and heart-wrenching. I love Astrid and her sassiness, Lucy and her shy-awkwardness, and Noah. Just Noah.
I love the scenes with Astrid and her Grandfather, especially the one wher he takes her to the Louvre and tells her to steal a painting because its hers. And it absolutely broke my heart when he died.
“If you were quicker,” he said, “you would have had that damn painting. Astrid, never let anyone stop you from having everything you want.”“It's impossible, you know. I never could have had it.”“Impossible for everyone else, sure,” he said, “Not for you and me.”
“Fire is fierce. Fire is angry. Fire does whatever it fucking wants. I am a big fan of fire.”

I'm not sure if this can be counted as a novella bindup (it's more like a collection of short stories) but I'm going to be using my novella bindup review format.

I think Maggie Stiefvater is a hit-or-miss author for me. It's upsetting because I absolutely adored the first novel in her Shiver series, so I had been hoping to love this one just as much. I just wasn't drawn to the story with this one; it seemed to be dragging on a lot, to the point where I just didn't want to continue on. Sorry team. I do want to try Maggie's other books, though.
