Andrea liked Jayson's review of Something is Killing the Children #30:
Something is Killing the Children #30 by James Tynion IV
"(A-) 81% | Very Good
Notes: Event-bereft, albeit theft has tensions on the rise, reveals get fraught (great mirrored shots): two monsters in disguise.

Andrea liked Jayson's review of Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger: Futures End (2014) #1:
Trinity of Sin by Dan DiDio
"(B) 73% | More than Satisfactory
Notes: Mere veneer, a trial by peers (of Judas so they're evil), roll call of villains and one angel fill-in, in all no real upheaval.

Charlie feels ugly, undesirable. She's smart, but unapproachable and generally socially awkward. So, when this very smart, charismatic, only slightly older guy gives her attention, she becomes absolutely infatuated. It's funny how infatuation can make you notice the most small specific details about a person. How long his eyelashes are. The twitch of muscles when he raises his arms. The glimpse of his bare torse through his button up shirt. This infatuation takes up all the space in her mind.

And this teacher, Drummond, is exactly what I imagine every attractive teacher to be: popular among students, casually flirtatious, smart (maybe woke), and only older by a handful of years. Unfortunately, I see myself in Charlie, because at one point I was absolutely infatuated with a teacher. I'm cringing sooo hard at my younger self. The same way Charlie was embarrassingly obvious, so was I.

I feel like Jessica Alcott scooped out the memories of 15 year old me, and slapped them onto the pages of this book. Well done, awkward, and honest. ]]> UserChallenge44346866 Fri, 05 May 2023 16:11:10 -0700 <![CDATA[ Andrea has challenged herself to read 20 books in 2023. ]]> /user/show/67214249-andrea 11633 Create your own 2023 Reading Challenge » ]]>
