@ everyone who went through a period of having no friends, who ate alone, who had a point in their life where they were too embarrassed to tell their parents they had no one to play with after school: I love you. I know it hurts and I know it’s hard but it’s not your fault. Things will grow and change. You will find people who you click with and they will love you too. You deserve positive friendship relationships just like anyone else. And if you’re still going through this phase, you’re strong, and things will change for you too. You are not alone, there are people experiencing the same thing you are, find them, you deserve positivity and companionship. Keep your head up.
I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing and ripping on ko mun yeong’s behaviour and her character. I just wanted to clear something up, her character suffers from ASPD ( antisocial personality disorder ). This is a mental disorder and people with ASPD tend to ignore others feelings and show no regard for right or wrong. They also may act impulsively and lie and don’t care about the effects of their actions. Now it’s very clear that Ko mun yeong continuously acts the way she does not only because of this disorder and the trauma she faced in her childhood but becasue she hasn’t gotten any kind of treatment or psychological care. I really hope that this drama doesn’t brush over her illness and make it seem like she’s just crazy or something. I hope we get to see her illness being discussed and her actually getting the help she needs. I don’t want it to be brushed aside as a caricature or she’s just that way but I want to see some actual help given and actually discussing the issues around ASPD as well what it’s like.
Would you recommend Luna and the lie? Are you still reading it?? What about other booms by the same author?
Yes I would! Tbh I think I once said holly black was the queen of slowburns but I might have lied lol it’s Mariana Zapata. Like genuinely the slowest of burns. I would definitely recommend her other books, plus it’s kinda cool to see they’re all set in the same universe.
They’re long and usually enemies to friends to lovers. I think of all the books I’ve read from her, Only two are on my dnf list lol.
The wall of Winnipeg and me, one of my favorites. I can go back multiple times to read that one haha. Personal assistant of this super huge super stoic football player quits her job and said football player tries to entice her while also keep his residency by asking her to marry him. “You know more about me than anyone else does.” was what really cut my heart up.
Kulti, that was one that I wasn’t sure I was going to like but ended up really enjoying. The girls soccer team has a new retired player coach and he’s such a hard ass but she takes it in stride bc her MO is being better than she was five minutes ago. They clash a lot then they don’t. “It’s a term of affection in my country. My love. My snail.” Hahaha I started tearing up at that one.
Under Locke, that was different but good different, more intense than the others and is kinda similar to how I felt with Kulti. Her dads a bad guy and she moves in with her brother so he could keep an eye on her, meanwhile getting her a job at a tattoo parlor where the boss is a sorta gang member. “But I'm not a good man, and I'm gonna take everythin' you want to give me and everythin' you don’t.” Oof. My loins.
Luna and the lie, which I thoroughly enjoyed and might be my new favorite. She’s moved away from her crazy dangerous family taking her sisters with her and her newest boss is a hardass who believes he owes her a favor after she lied to the cops for him...except every favor she asks, he insists is not part of the deal. “You haven’t listened to a single fucking thing I’ve said, have you? Seen a single thing I’ve done? You’re the only person who hasn’t put shit together?” Be still my heart.
Wait for it, as most of her books are heartbreaking at some points, this one kinda started out on heartbreak but it was the way she dealed with it that made my heart so soft. After gaining custody of her brothers two sons, she moves to a new town where their new baseball coach/ neighbor is a little resentful of all the attention he usually gets, and becuase of a misunderstanding he thinks she’s just as bad as everyone else who hits on him. “Do you love me?, I asked him like I did every night just to hear him say it.” The kiddos in this were too adorable.
From lukov with love, turned out seriously sweet but I wasn’t surprised. Enemies on ice haha literally. He’s a pretty famous ice skater and she still struggles to reach her goal. He needs a new partner and wants her to be it. “‘We both know you love me.’ I wanted to deny it. I really did. Mostly because I hated the fact that he sounded so smug. But we both knew I’d be lying.” Truly the most enemies to lovers of them all.
Becuase how they’re all slowburns, I got really, really invested haha. Also learned a lot about certain sports and tattooing? And car painting? And uhh motorcycle clubs? Loved the family and friendship dynamics even if some of the family dynamics were so awful I wanted to punch characters through the pages; it was just well thought out and I felt every emotion. The main characters were also pretty badass and hilarious at times, if not a little naïve where it counted. Would definitely recommend if you want a contemporary romance to read and get invested in.
City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
I’m rereading Prisoner of Azkaban and the trio visit Hagrid after Buckbeak injured Malfoy. After Hagrid calms down, he finally notices that Harry is indeed there, when he’s not supposed to be out after dark because of the threat of Sirius looming and he says this:
“C’mon!” Hagrid said angrily. “I’m takin’ yer all back up ter school, an’ don’ let me catch yeh walkin’ down ter see me after dark again. I’m not worth that!”
That last sentence really got to me, because here you have Hagrid, such a kind, gentle, loving soul, willing to give anything and anyone a chance, inherently assuming that all animals (ferocious or not) are worthy of love and nurture, and he says he’s not worth the effort and the risk. Not even when he’s going through a difficult time and could use support and comfort. And I just want to hug him so badly, because damn, he’s worth SO much.
My babies are amazing !!! Legend !!!

“Thought it would be over by now, but it won’t stop. Thought that I would self destruct, but I’m still here. Even in my years to come, I’m still going to be here. I’m a survivor! I’m not gonna give up! I’m not gonna stop, I’m gonna work harder! I’m a survivor, I’m gonna make it. I will survive, keep on surviving!!”
