7:05 YOUR PERCEPTION IS EXCELLENT! 🎉 This is one of my favorite feelings in reading sis and one of my barometers for brilliant impressive reads - when a book absolutely wrecks all my assumptions in a satisfying way 💯 I'm delighted you felt this way about this story too

sis i'm curious: how do you feel about movie adaptations of books? because... i watched the film adaptation of this novel when I was a teenager lmaooo and even blogged about my review of it but it was purely out of my movie experience because there was no available book copiee back then that i could read 😢 but i think based on your recommendation i would really love to read this too 🤩

8:34 wow the two couples being a little polar opposite parallels - and also what you've selected as the character you were the most interested in because of the marriage fallout - it wouldve been a great comparative exploration analysis of relationship dynamics if the plot was executed well no?

Feminist misandric nonsense written by a feminist man-hater. And I say this as a woman. It's the stupidest and ugliest thing I've ever read in my life. The literary value is at zero.

6:43 WHOAAAA thank goodness for great best friend recommendation wooo!! 💯 I think this is what gaslighting tropes in fiction do to readers…it gets so…easy sometimes to be overly involved and be marites about the issues because we are spectators more than ever about the mental injustice happening so yayyyy a recording is indeed a good idea 😄🙏

So true, Emily H. really has a knack for inserting family aspects to her romances 😁 While I also love and appreciate that too, yeah PWMOV sort of…uhm… worries me a little and makes me a bit more cautious about her works going forward 😂 Book Lovers indeed set the bar so high for me 😄

11:00 THIS ALSO BLEW MY MIND SIS BECAUSE 😭😭😭 It really sort of redeemed Alex’s lack of aggressiveness in a very solid justification but yeah admittedly, it still got my brain twisted… the math took long to math because I was thinking… you have known for so long that you’d go the extra mile for this girl in this degree… and you still haven't pursued her properly then???? Boy… what timeline would count here? 😂

OMG…it was really a challenge for me 🥲 can it even be counted as such when they have significant differences here and yeah… their communication… really isn't good 😭
@alwaysreading
@alwaysreading 19 дней назад
yes, i agree so much with the lack of communication... mygad how can you be friends?? aren't you supposed to be able to talk to each other honestly and openly??
@thebookblah
@thebookblah Месяц назад
2:54 You nailed it sis. I believe you've captured here why I also kind of struggled connecting easily with this one tbh, despite you and I coming from two perspectives about Emily Henry’s preference with literary characters ...Alex being very passive and laid-back made his being a 'literary teacher' not...credible. So... if that hadn't been apparent... It made me wonder if perhaps it could've been better indeed if Emily Henry just seized the opportunity to branch out and pick a non-literary ish character for this tale lol 😂😂
@alwaysreading
@alwaysreading 19 дней назад
haha oo nga, pag literary teacher dapat medyo may kaunting oomph sa character (well any kind of teacher I think needs to have that sense of authority) but yeah.... huhu book lovers pa rin talaga. hehe
