@cosimolottie@cristalcobalt Completely agree with all of this! This book touches upon such dark themes and does so in such a careless and inconsistent manner. This series has never been marketed as a ‘dark romance’ one and I am genuinely embarrassed that I have gotten two of my friends to start this series.
@saskiaexpect lol that was crazyyyy especially after SS where Phoenix and Birdies mum said she didn’t quite know whether to trust them… how do you go from that to talking about your sons mental health journey…ESPECIALLY seeing as it’s something they don’t seem to take seriously themselves.
@virginiastpiere I kinda hope they bring it back with RJ and his cousins testing Charlie when he starts dating Roxanne…. Let’s see how he likes it lmao.
@latesolstice completely felt this… it felt so disjointed and the writing didn’t flow at all - i felt like i had to read several passages multiple times and i still couldn’t quite figure out what was happening / what was meant to be coming across to the reader you know.
@alexihalecobalt This post really resounded, and just speaks to the absolute harm that KBR are causing with this storyline and direction of the series. I hope it compels more people to speak up and keep holding them accountable ❤️❤️❤️
I am so utterly uninterested in wondering when Guy will show up again, and theorising when Audrey will accept that she was assaulted - and wondering if that will be her arc in her girl squad book. That’s not the series I signed up for, and I have no interest taking part in it.
The saddest thing about the LL leaks is how they’ve irrevocably shifted the entire tone of the series. I don’t want to listen to a “Charlie Cobalt in Loathed Love” podcast where KBR are laughing & reminiscing about scenes knowing that rape is the major force driving the book.
Like it sucks the joy out this series for me. I want to theorise about when winnie will show up, what Oscar’s reaction is going to be finding out about Joana hooking up with Beckett and Leo - all the ridiculous drama that I love about these books.
@cobaltgirlie chronically depressed and miserable character I have ever read. The cobalt empire books are literally ruining Coballoway and going against everything they stand for and it suckssss.
@cobaltgirlie allowed Charlie to treat Ben like that growing up and did nothing about it, accepting that they were just too different - are we talking about the same Rose here ? They stood by and did nothing when Beckett was addicted, they stand by and do nothing when Charlie is like the most
