@musedecay i’m in no way supporting jkr or purchasing anything that will go towards her bank acc but it is a series that has dear childhood memory for me which is why it’s on there
Ivan, our other male lead, is no better. He reads like a hormonally bewildered teenager encountering women and sex for the first time. If this is heralded as Rooney’s best character work, you can count me out. How this book got so much hype is beyond me.
