Happy Release Day (09/05/2023) to this absolute masterpiece!!!
ARC Buddy read with my otp br partner & best friend, Darcey! Woo! Return of the Living… Book Bloggers? Lmfao love you sis! I’ve missed our brs SOMUCH!
HOLY SHHHH*T! I cannot even…words rn? I WILL say this was HORRIFYING, BADASS, HEARTBREAKING, MEANINGFUL, FEMINIST AF, CREEPY AF, and just oml suuucchhh a GREAT, PHENOMENAL READ, & a perf book to be a part of my spooky season kick off weekend!
When I can actually articulate a longer, more profound review (bc you best bet I have SO. MUCH. MORE. TO. SAY. about this incredible, incredible book !), I will be writing it asap—I’m still in that initial shock/ awe stage just phew!—RTC !
Another brilliant book, their sophomore novel, no less(!), written by the incredible Andrew Joseph White! They never fail to write incredible, terrifying, horror stories with profound insight into important topics, and do trans rep, autism rep/neurodivergent rep, & queer rep such amazing justice!
Thank you SO much to Peachtree Teen via NetGalley, & Andrew Joseph White for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!...more

A wonderful, wonderful BR with my OTP reading babe, Darcey!
This was a monstrously GREAT read!
It is surely one to be celebrated! Jasinska did an AMAZING job with this very much character-driven novel. I look forward to seeing, and most DEFINITELY *reading,* more from this author!!!
WHEW! What a captivating, chaotic (in the best way, of course), & brilliant read!! I flew through this book in what felt like only moments, and was completely obsessed with both the characters and the adorable sapphic relationship before long. And OHHHH THE AMAZING MORALLY-GREYNESS ! Mwahahaha !
Marynka and Zosia were complete opposites but seemingly fated to be, with their vicious, villainous competitions and mutual obsessions turning into a BEAUTIFULLY DONE back & forth with addictive chemistry, before long, edged on by the powerful clashes between Marynka's fiery temperament and Zosia's calm but blade-sharp wit.
The unique & *monstrous* magic of Morning, Midday and Midnight was beautifully depicted, and the Polish setting added a fascinating twist to the book overall. There are some pacing issues, but nothing that changes my opinion too much. I just loved this so much!!
Thank you to the author, netgalley & the publisher for the e-copy in exchange for an honest review!...more

BR with my bby girl DARCEYYYYY !!!!
Holy Freaking Moly this novel was so GD hard hitting emotionally, esp. for me, because it was very personal w/ the mental health rep. I was crying more than not theough! So glad my lil Aussie sis Darcey pushed me to read it, because I generally avoid books thag trigger my mental health issues, but au really needed to hear & read these things. I feel SO damn proud of myself for getting through this & facing some very deep feelings that I tend to keep inside.
There were some very unhealthy habits & possible triggers, the most severe of which is subconscious, mindless, & somewhat minor (but no less important than any other kinds of...) self harm due to extreme anxiety, stress, pressure, feelings of hopelessness & purposelessness, being a victim of racism, etc.
That being said, besides the serious topics, this was a heartwarming novel due to beautiful female friendships, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ reps, & a very thought/ emotionally provoking, wonderfully written, absolutely fantastic read.
Some aspects were completely unrealistic, but if you suspend disbelief, the wlw relationship was absolutely freaking ADORABLE. Even if the chance of their relationship working IRL has like a 3% probability of actually working. ...more
