This book was genetically engineered for me in a lab. I loved Tate and Penny's dynamic to the point of pain, and I was stoked to see Sharpe write an imperfect parent who at least theoretically loves her child, but is actively called out and held accountable for making mistakes. More fallible adults in YA, pls! #yalit #yaromance

The way I squealed for five minutes when I finished this one!! Love how this book tackled the "who gets to be queer enough" discourse while also being a beautiful romance and a fun friendship story. Becky Albertalli has the range! #yalit #yaromance #book100of2023

(Once again, this will just have to be close enough.) Agh, what perfect closure for Bitty. Full circle from his arrival at Samwell and his fear of checking, and the acceptance everyone deserves to have if/when they come out. I would read a million more installments, but what a way to go out!! #reread #yalit #graphicnovel

kissmehardy @Johanna414 So the traditionally published First Second editions combine 4 years of college into 2 volumes, but I backed the Kickstarter and got these editions where each year has their own book! 3w
Johanna414 Ah, that makes sense 3w

REMEMBER THOSE WALLS I BUILT??? 😭 But in all seriousness, I love how much Bitty grows over the course of this story and the introduction of the Frogs and GRADUATION DAY!!!! What a great year. #yalit #graphicnovel #reread

(Not the right title, but close enough.) God, the introductions the team gets are top tier, and I really appreciated how much depth Jack gets on this #reread. My latent Zimbits shipper heart is rising again! #yalit #graphicnovel

Excellent plot developments and character motivations, but a couple of the romantic developments felt more sketched out than earned. There will be plenty of time for that to change as this series progresses, though, and I love the focus on Black high society! #yalit #yahistoricalfiction

This was really well-done. Avery's depression felt realistic without being too somber for the reader, and the impending asteroid made for an interesting story! Balanced the message with the plot wonderfully. #yalit #yaromance

Quick paced, satisfying ending to the miniseries-within-a-series! I definitely figured out who is was going to be (back in book 2, actually!) but it was fun to watch it play out. Time to leave London & head back to Sweet Valley!
