mmmmm this was okay? what really sold me were the relationships but other than that, sometimes it was hard to follow because there was not much world building
i was told the was similar to TSHOEH but it doesn’t come close :/ sorry.. all that’s comparable is that it’s about an actress
and the ending felt so rushed like who tf is jane and where did she come from ?? would’ve loved for the love story to be more developed like her previous relationships but..
my fav scene was probably luli and emmaline in the car LMAO

i’m so happy i decided to branch out and try out different genres this year cause i’m really enjoying it :) i have no idea how i found this but it’s something i found on my own and i’m proud of myself for starting a novel without knowing anyone opinions beforehand (because i seem to always read books based off of that).
this was another lovely read. nothing spectacular and the mystery aspect was a little underwhelming but it still kept me very entertained. the premise was really cool. I often question how people used to be and how places were many years before i stepped into them. it’s so interesting so this was right up my alley.
darby & rose’s lives were at times so similar that i had trouble differentiating them but i think it was made to be that way (?) to show that we are not as different as we think we are to the women that came before us.

this whole book felt like a slam poem
also i couldn't stop thinking about when ryan read a collection of poems and said it was too nature-y LMAO
a little hard to follow, although it was pretty, i didn't resonate with it much
