listen: i know, okay, i KNOW that objectively, this is a good book—it's hilarious and the writing has just the right kick of humor—but FFS DID I NOT LIKE READING IT. i genuinely believe the way you read certain books influences ur experience of it a lot and reading this w a physical copy would've been a far more pleasant experience than reading it on my phone. the middle of this book DRAGGED. there were so many characters and random setups to introduce minor elements of the plot and i was just struggling to absorb all that information. this is a book to be read with PATIENCE (which i don't possess at present) but i just wanted the whole thing to be over with. i only read this to get on w the tv show, so hopefully that proves to be more fruitful. i liked adam as a character tho. he was nice (shipped him w his friend too—wellesley was it?). i honestly thought there'd be more Ineffable Husbands moments but nah. newt and anathema were cute tho—they're adorable hehe i love them fr. agnes nutter is an icon. at least everyone got a happy ending (i hope the show isn't happy tho (edit 2025: u got ur wish whore)). anyways, if u're over 30 years of age, i might recommend this book to you (edit 2025: why does that sounds like an insult? i swear it isn't).
