Ho-ly Shit. I think this is going to be a polarizing one and my one issue with it is that the cover holds not a single hint of the deep, dark journey you're about to go on. But sometimes that can be a good thing. Esther is a 'crazed fan' using fandom ...more |

"I actually DNF’d this book at 33% but I need to write a review anyways. Normally I hate when people do that but it’s important that you know the ASD representation in this book is abysmal, there is a reoccurring fatphobic plot point, and many other i"

No rating as DNFing at the 100 page mark. I really wanted to like this one as I pre-ordered it but...something about it is just off. Some of it is personal preference, the present tense keeps throwing me off and I'm not really feeling any chemistry b ...more |

The third book in the series is still my absolute fave, but this one has a bit more charm and humour, and has more original characters than the first in the trilogy. | |

“The way Nate seemed to pull at me without meaning to, like a dog bolting after an elusive prize, dragging its hapless owner behind it. Nate was a force, momentarily stilled. The tide that threatened my sandcastle life.”

“I had traded time with the two people I loved most for a job I hated and people who barely knew me.”

“there was something about him that made me feel like he wasn’t really listening when anyone else talked.”

“McCandless’s contrived asceticism and a pseudoliterary stance compound rather than reduce the fault. . . . McCandless’s postcards, notes, and journals . . . read like the work of an above average, somewhat histrionic high school kid—or am I missing something?”

“we’ll talk about another. Are we okay?” “I’m not old enough for this!” Dev said, his voice sharp. “I’m not old enough to end up here. I’m not old enough to test for AIDS, I’m not, I’m not—” “The hell you’re not!” Joe hissed, because the boy’s voice was rising and breaking. “You’re old enough to have sex, you’re old enough to think about this. Yeah, I know—you used to be able to fuck and all you had to worry about was crabs or knocking a girl up. We can’t do that anymore, and we can’t go back. If you can’t look yourself in the mirror and say ‘I’m gonna get laid tonight, and I need some fucking condoms’, you’re not old enough to do it. But once you start putting your peter some place besides your pants, you’ve got to cowboy up, do you hear me?”

“If you swapped out all my Jessicas for Johns, do you know what you'd get? Fiction. Just fiction. Ready and willing to be read by anyone, but somehow by being a woman who writes about women, I've eliminated half the Earth's population from my potential readers, and you know what? I don't feel ashamed of that. I feel pissed.”

“Then I noticed the top envelope had my name on it. My real name, not Judith Broch but Julie Pike.
My mother had long since stopped using that name for me. She’d lived under an assumed name herself. The only person who’d be writing to me with that name, at that address was him. Or more likely, someone working for him.
Raymond Wayfield; serial rapist and murderer. My father.
I stared at that letter for a long time. The light shifted in the flat as cars went by outside. Blue whirling lights and sirens went past, setting off a series of thumps and a baby’s cries in the flat above. Still I couldn’t bring myself to reach out and open that envelope. As if by doing so I’d be letting that man back into my life. Into my reality.
As if he’d ever left.”
