this. was. INCREDIBLE!

this book altered my brain chemistry fr.

this was made for the people pleaser girlies that overthink anything and everything and needs someone to call them out sometimes. aka me lol. you would eat this up🤭

I literally had zero expectations ngl.. I expected a 3 star read and just to come out of it being like “wow. this was cute I guess” BUT NO THIS IS BECOMING MY WHOLE PERSONALITY FOR A WHILE AND YALL WILL JUST NEED TO LIVE WITH IT 🫵🏼

I think being a physics student myself I was able to relate and understand the puns but they might be confusing for some LMAOO.

💗 jack is looking at me like I’m a higgs boson about to give him a lap dance 💗

╰⪼ jack. jack really took me by surprise ngl ✋🏼✋🏼 the way he was able to read her like a damn book astonished me. any time she lied SOMEHOW HE KNEW !!! LIKE WHAT!??

”do you enjoy teaching?”
“of course” I lie, running a finger over a wooden shelf. It’s not even dusty.
“you don’t.”
“maybe you did before having to teach 90 classes a week but not anymore.” it’s not a question.

LIKE SIR!?!?! how do you just know all this crap after interacting with someone for 2 seconds. it’s baffling it really is. caught me off guard too.

╰⪼ elsie. i couldn’t hate her. not even for a second. I am her, she is me. ok maybe i don’t psycho-analyse everything people say and change my personality to adapt to their needs but like.. tomato tomata I get her though. she wants to be liked, accepted and ugh it hurt how much I resonated with her.

“I’ve seen you play half a dozen different roles for half a dozen different situations, switching personalities like you’re channel surfing, and I still have no idea who you are.”

I am literally not okay 🥲🥲 I love that this book was a nice mix of lighthearted but still with some depth and meaning yk??? like it had a moral, a message and I love those kinds of books 💗

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ here’s some more quotes cos im obsessed .𖥔 ݁ ˖

˖⋆˚✿˖° “is this what you do with greg? you code-switch a conjured, non existent persona he fell in love with?” “are you doing it with me too?” ˖⋆˚✿˖°

˖⋆˚✿˖° “I turn and it’s jack. of course it’s jack. the electron to my nucleus, constantly spinning around me in the most annoying of orbits” ˖⋆˚✿˖°

˖⋆˚✿˖° “you could be my entire world” he whispers in my ear before moving to my collarbone. “if you let me.” I stroke his hair. “I think I will.” ˖⋆˚✿˖°

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ final thoughts .𖥔 ݁ ˖

my only issue with this book was the third act breakup in the last 30 pages. I found it a little unnecessary but I guess it made sense why they did it. I think I just hate conflict

I didn’t expect the review to be this long im sorry hahahah. but to all my gr girlies considering picking this up, this is your sign to do it. love you pookies ♡
