TikTok was mentioned a few times, and I didn't really care, which was surprising, but it got annoying to an extent, and then Taylor Swift was mentioned, but of course I didn't mind that, have you seen the Taylor's Version in my name? Not a lot happened, there were more thoughts and feelings than anything else, and it was just really sweet.

Its like standing on a log in the water, constantly being tipped over here and there, your arms flailing about, never knowing when you'll finally lose your balance and plunge into the depths below. our timothee chalamet goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, adam driver, you were bigger than the whole sky of chess.I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a book that they will go back too time and time again. com, riverdale (what feels like thousands of times), lara jean, all the boys ive loved before, fanfiction, AO3, tumblr, percy jackson, jungkook, taylor swift, ari aster, hobbits, meghan markle, and many more i am sure i did not notice. Growing up dual heritage in a world where bitter prejudice divides Noughts and Crosses has meant she’s an outsider wherever she turns.

This blog is just me reviewing books and fangirling and geeking out to things because sometimes you just need a break from normal things! There were a lot of other bands and modern stuff, and this is why I stick to fantasy, where none of this is ever mentioned 😌 (I will admit, I liked the talk about Timothée Chalamet, only because I had his statistics song stuck in my head. once you get through that, her unconditional love for her family is, indeed, really admirable and cute, the things she gave up for them and the shitty jobs she took for them, all of her sacrifices will make your heart ache and break a little.

I really enjoyed the book a brilliant finale towards the immense trilogy an action packed novel suitable for anyone who lives mystery and action.
