i got a new job!! 🤯 life updates, real talk about booktube, travel plans, etc. (100K Q+A)

The plot twist in this absolutely shook me to my core. Like this was a crazy twist and I just love it so much. I think about it all the time.

Cath is one of the most relatable characters I've ever read and like there's a reason why I've read this book like five times. And there's a reason why I love this book as much as I do and it's mainly because of how connected I feel to Cath as a character. Like anytime I read this book, I feel right at home.

After reading Gone Girl, my love for reading just like absolutely exploded and I read like 70 books that year.

I was starting to feel a lot more seen by that but I don't think it was until I think it was like 2020 when I first read Loveless by Alice Oseman that it like really clicked with me because reading from the perspective of a character who was asexual like that absolutely changed everything for me because then it was like confirmed.

I just had so much fun with this book. Like a ridiculous amount of fun. And I feel like this is one of the first thrillers in a long time where I had that feeling of like shock over some of the plot twist and I love that.

And I'm reading a lot more sci-fi than I used to because I feel like I've been falling in love with sci-fi even more ever since reading Project Hail Mary back in 2021.

You know, like The Deal by Elle Kennedy was one of my favorite books of all time.

And like that's kind of still true, but then after reading something like The Ex Talk, this is one of my favorite romance books of all time. And this is a second-chance romance. And so it has really like changed my perspective.

And this was like one of the first books that we really like bonded over as adults. And it was really cute because my mom's actually reread Evelyn Hugo two times. Like now she considers it one of her favorite books of all time. It's one of my favorite books of all time.

Like this book just impacted me so much emotionally to the point where like I don't know if I could ever read this again because of how much this book meant to me when I read it. This book just like really means the world to me and it really like triggered something in me when I read it that it altered my life forever.

But genuinely, this non-fiction book, when I read it for the first time, it was like something just like clicked in my brain, and I feel like ever since reading this book, I haven't been the same.
