What a terrible way of writing a character

Ah, Instagram… the land of aesthetic book stacks, matcha lattes, and debut novels by random influencers you want to root for. So, I thought, why not? Let’s support the dreams of a fellow human. Turns out, I’ve never wanted a refund on my emotional investment more. 🤡

This book isn’t so much a romance as it is a masterclass in "How to Ignore Every Red Flag Ever." The plot (if we’re feeling generous enough to call it that) follows Theo and Magdalen, two people who alternate between emotionally wounding each other and randomly having sex. It’s like a toxic relationship highlight reel, but with less charm and more wtf moments.

Theo? Walking, talking red flag. Magdalen? Apparently running a marathon through every flag factory without a second thought. Every time he does something that would send any self-respecting person packing, she not only forgives him but doubles down on the bad choices. Like, girl, we get that you’re lonely, but have you heard of therapy? A hobby? A goldfish?

The lack of character development is staggering. Magdalen’s big arc seems to be… confessing her trauma to Theo and then forgiving him for everything, because, why not? Meanwhile, Theo confesses some backstory too, but instead of growth, we just get more reasons why he’s the last person anyone should be around.

Reading this felt like screaming into the void, hoping someone, ANYONE would get Magdalen some self-worth. I kept waiting for her to realize she deserves better, but nope. The resolution was as satisfying as watching someone microwave fish in an office kitchen: just a big mess.

In conclusion, supporting random Instagram authors might seem fun, but proceed with caution unless you enjoy yelling “WHY” at your Kindle every five minutes.

The story was generally good, but what made the whole book even better was Kirby's delivery!!! The passion and emotion with which he speaks the text was just very satisfying to listen to.

I kinda get what she wanted to achieve with this book. But I think it was more intended to be read by her travel friends. As an outside person it feels like I am reading a travelogue… and I would rather be traveling than hearing this.

I didn't understand any of it!! The whole plot is confusing and it's very hard to follow the story. The only good things are the voices and the audio part, but a better and simpler script would have been much better than this mess of (very nice) voices.

This is the kind of story I want to hear when I‘ve had a really rough day. It‘s going to become my next feel good book. 🥰

Omg I was so invested in the story! But the character of Olivia had me riled up the whole time, how can you be such a bad person? I wasn't disappointed in how the story ended because everyone deserved it. I rooted for Jenny the most because she was a hard working woman who had the opportunity to grow professionally, and she did. And the fact that Olivia was a bitch to her the whole time with the excuse of being an investor made me angry. But I had to giggle a lot during the whole story because of little things, because for example they read a Vogue magazine for a book club 😂😂 who does that?

As for the reading, it was super nice! I liked the voices and the sound was very neat. It made me really happy while I was listening to it.

If you live with depression, you've probably read (as I have) a bunch of trustworthy articles on the internet about how it works in the brain and the different types. So for me, this book wasn't really anything new. The only helpful chapter is number 5, where the author gives you tools to deal with those days when you just don't want to do anything.
I think this book can be helpful for someone who hasn't looked anything up on the internet. But if you've already done your research, listen to chapter 5 and use your time to listen to other things.
And what about the voice??? I seriously thought Siri or Alexa read it out loud.

Omg I’ve read many books in my life but none of them have kept me so invested in the storyline as this one!! And the plot twist!!!! Way to go Rebecca Yarros. I’m really looking forward to the next book of the series. 🤩
