i know omg the tropes are so cool and i loved the snippet of this couple in the previous books. and yesss the cover is stunning!🤩

update: it’s lunch and ive read like half of chapter one💀 love your faith in me though, Imme.

exactly, im expecting a literary masterpiece here since ive been anticipating this book all damn day.

i was literally losing the will to live even skim reading was painful😭 i had to stop lmao.

ahahah im glad i could make you laugh because someone deserves to experience some kind of joy as a result of me suffering through this book😌

ahaha honestly despite the joke, i actually was more invested in Liz Truss than this book so sorry to Anna Huang🤭

neither did i, Kati😭😭😭 i really expected to love this one since it’s been so hyped by ARC reviewers and i loved this couple in one of Ana’s other books... but the way i had to force myself to continue reading with nothing remotely intriguing me? sighhhhh i fear an impending book slump :(

i tried so hard to just skim and finish but i was truly losing my will to live😭 even my morbid curiosity couldn’t save me.

me either i am truly a clown because i was actually so excited for this release and thought id love it but 🤠


i didn’t even like the twisted series that much tbh💀 there was one book i wholeheartedly loved and the rest were either meh or straight up no. but bcos i liked the sneak peek of this couple in Twisted Lies, then i thought id immediately like this but 🤡 twisted lies was boring af for me i can’t lie. i gave it three stars bcos it was fine... not bad but not memorable. i think im gonna wait for my GR friends to read the second book of this series and determine from them if i should even bother😭


omg you’ve actually described my thought process with these books and other similar series really well😭 i tend to get caught up in the hype, even though i know it probably won’t work for me because i know my tastes pretty well... but i give it a go anyway and I act shocked that it was just mediocre or underwhelming. or i completely forget to even bother reading the book.
idk why i let the hype get to me when most of it is booktok and i don’t trust booktok one bit💀 i like the guy that’s speculated to be the hero of the second book so we’ll see how that goes� i want to read it for him since he was one of the only good things about this book... but i said the same thing about this couple when they cameoed in twisted lies so🧍

ahaha basically here in the UK, our newest prime minister, Liz Truss, was shit like unbelievably bad and she resigned a few days ago and was only in office for 44 days😭 and a major newspaper had a live stream on YouTube where they wanted to see if the lettuce could outlast Liz Truss as PM💀💀 it was a picture of her next to a lettuce and the lettuce actually won.


no fr at this point i am not shocked by anything at all with government politics😭 the new PM people seem to want in is the guy Liz Truss replaced and he is actually a bumbling idiot it’s insane� he once hid in a giant walk in freezer on live tv because he didn’t want to answer interview questions and you could just see him RUNNING into an industrial fridge🧍ahaha omg only lasting a week is insane, our chancellor also only skated 38 days and i thought that was a bad enough but seven days takes the cake for sure💀


no you’re actually so right💀 for me, whenever her MCs are side characters in other the other books, they actually seem to be a bit distinguishable and unique (like Josh and Jules, i loved them as side characters but not in their own book) but in their own?🤡 they all blend together at this point there’s nothing new and fresh at all. so true how she relies too much on tropes� instead of her books actually having a thorough plot line, it’s just a bunch of interconnected tropey scenes with no coherence.


nooo bcos when she said this was going to be a seven book series for each deadly sin, i immediately thought “how tf is she gonna manage making each one unique?� and so far this one hasn’t given me much hope😭 i 100000% agree with you that she )(and other authors) need to stop relying on tropes to write their stories for them and think tropes alone with no plot nor fleshed out characters is enough. i always think that tropes are the basis of the book, the foundation that the story gets built upon... then you gotta put the work in to flesh it all out but most authors seemingly have not got the memo :/

😭😭😭😭 it was the only description that really captured just how truly bored i was lmao.

snoozefest is the perfect word, like i was legit falling asleep while trying to read this. it was physically painful.

😭😭😭 ahaha honestly i was so excited for this one but i could barely get through it, my god.
