╰┈➤ ”’are we squad goals?’ ravi whispered to pip.”
i love this series.
i don’t know if i loved this one as much as the first one. i know a lot of people say this one was their favorite and i did really enjoy it, but i think the first one still takes the cake for me
there were so many twists and turns and i was guessing up until the last few pages. also there’re just so many characters to love in this book (ravi and pip and stanley ...more

ravi you’re a king.
this was so good!! i read this so fast and i was hooked the entire time. it was so fast paced and intriguing and i really enjoyed all of the characters.
it reminded me a bit of truly devious mixed with the murder most unladylike series. i really want to read the rest of the series and i already ordered the next book ...more

this was good!! i really enjoyed animal farm and so i really wanted to enjoy this and i ended up liking it
it was a fairly quick read and it was such an interesting world that reminded me a little of fahrenheit 451 and i really appreciated the ending and the symbolism and the way george orwell writes.
overall i’d recommend this and orwell’s other work and this book definitely made me think. it’s such a necessary book and i see why we read it ...more

╰┈➤ ”you must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood.”
so, i think this is one of my favorite series out there. it is a lot of fun and very comical at times. the main plot is very action filled and intriguing. it is not necessarily a mystery, but it definitely has some mystery-like elements to it.
the characters are also very well done and i loved following them and their strengths and weaknesses and how they came together and worked as a powerful team. it is just such a well built book and i couldn’t wait to read the next in the series (all of which are just as good, but the way!).
it is very plot based but the characters are also very lifelike for being a middle grade novel. if you liked greenglass house or the book scavenger series i highly recommend this one. if you enjoy action, mystery, cracking codes, and a smart, interesting gang of kids trying to save the world than this is the one for you!!
also, the disney+ adaptation is *chef kiss* ...more

╰┈➤ “do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.”
honestly i wasn’t sure about this in the beginning but im going to say a solid 4 stars honestly!!
i don’t know if this type of dystopian is 100% my genre but usually but this was really interesting and it definitely made me think. there were so many good quotes from other works of literature like this—
╰┈➤ “the folly of mistaking a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself as an oracle, is inborn in us” ~ paul valery
we love!! and also so many of this author’s quotes were chef kiss. like i started writing them down halfway through and wow like—
╰┈➤ “a book is a loaded gun."
╰┈➤ “play the man, master ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in england, as i trust shall never be put out."
╰┈➤ “now, sucking all the night into his open mouth and blowing it out pale, with all the blackness left heavily inside himself, he set out in a steady jogging pace.”
╰┈➤ “they have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up under them.”
╰┈➤ “you must remember, burn them or they'll burn you, he thought. right now it's as simple as that.”
╰┈➤ “…and there, in the wilderness, the men all moved their hands, putting out the fire together”
╰┈➤ “‘stuff your eves with wonder,' he said, 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. see the world. it's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.’“
╰┈➤ “man, when i was younger i shoved my ignorance in people's faces. they beat me with sticks. by the time i was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. if you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.”
╰┈➤ ”you always said, don’t face the problem, burn it. well, now I’ve done both. goodbye captain.”
╰┈➤ ”he was a thing of brush and liquid eye, of fur and muzzle and hoof, he was a thing of horn and blood that would smell like autumn if you bled it out on the ground.”
╰┈➤ ”’it doesn't matter what you do,’ he said, ‘so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. the difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching,’ he said. ‘the lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there lifetime.’"
and yeah i’ll stop now you get the point!! i didn’t particularly care about any of the characters but it was definitely thought provoking and i kept comparing it to vfd (asoue girlies where you at!!)
anyways not mad i read this and even though it wasn’t my absolute favorite i ended up enjoying it a lot and it was probably so important then and definitely so important now!!

this book really was so unique and i wasn’t even sure what to rate it! david was such an interesting and flawed character and i really enjoyed the writing even if it was somewhat confusing at times

this was good! it was a quick, interesting read and i enjoyed reading about the author’s story and experience as a young jewish girl during the holocaust.

this was really cute!! it was definitely cringey at times and i didn’t 100% agree with everything but overall i really had fun with this and i loved all of the relationships (like honestly i liked the friendships and family relationships more than the romantic relationship?).
anyways it wasn’t what i expected because it was advertised to me as a completely different thing but it was so wholesome!! i enjoyed it and would recommend <3...more

alright, anyways i don’t think this quite lived up to the hype for me personally and I don’t think I loved it as much as everyone else (i think i liked the do over more lol oops) but it was still enjoyable and I’d recommend !! ...more
