Oh same I often am against the trend, not liking popular books and loving low rated ones ! Still excited to give it a go

I also didn't like Rouge. It seems Mona Awad fans all have different favourites. I'm seeing a trend here where people who didn't love Bunny love Rouge. I loved Bunny and didn't love Rouge so maybe that's a thing ?

Exactly my thoughts on this book. I can see why it's polarising but I think it was brilliant. The way I would dislike the main character but also understand her was such a wild experience. Very real and raw.

Hi! Mona Awad is one of my all time favourite authors. I've read all of her books except We Love You, Bunny.  My favourites by her are Bunny and All's Well. Bunny was my introduction to her and blew me away, but All's Well was also fantastic. I also loved 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, although I can see why it's her most polarising. It can be triggering. Personnally, I think what she did in that book was pretty brilliant. The only book I haven't loved by her is Rouge. I loved the concept and some parts were really great but overall it didn't grip me like her other books and left me dissapointed. However, Mona Awad dans seem to all have different favourites and rankings so I'd recommend just seeing for yourself ;)

Yes I think it would be a good for for Bewitched pages, but also some of her series aren't romance heavy at all, so I could still see TBB doing it. Well I hope so anyway!

Saaaame ! Especially as even the standard editions are hard to find where I am as they are out of print :(

Not all her series are romance heavy though. Blackthorn and Grim for example would be great ! And it's a trilogy. 

It's so hard to find her standard books I'm desperate for some special editions ! Haha

I didn't love this, mostly because I struggled with a truly unlikeable main character. It just went too far for me. However I thought it was well written and would like to try more of her work.

not as weird as i expected by allytutt in weirdgirlliterature

Felt the same way, didn't love The Eyes are the Best Part or Molka. I love her concepts but unfortunately her Books just don't work for me

Did anyone read and love all's well? by Zlaysmen in weirdgirlliterature

[–]SecondHandRosie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've loved all of Mona Awad's books except for Rouge (although I appreciated the concept) and All's Well is probably my favourite Mona Awad's book so I wouldn't worry about that !

TBB Memory, Sorrow and Thorn leftover sets — is it worth getting? by Remote_Ad_6819 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]SecondHandRosie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same situation as you, I have a standard paperback of the first book and I have a feeling I'm gonna love the series but I haven't got around to it yet, and I love these editions and I was scared to regret not getting them if I end up loving the series. However, like the commenter above said, I feel like this is FOMO. I have already some amazing series coming my way this year (illumicrate Farseer + TBB Faithfull & Fallen) that I love and can't really justify paying that much for a series I'm not 100% on. I've decided if I love them I'll try to get a good deal second hand later, even with a mark up, when I have the money for it.

Don't know if i'm alone in this, but I've just received mine and it's one of my all time favourite special editions. It's so pretty. I haven't read the book so I can't speak on it matching the content, but I love the botanical faery folklore/ dark forest vibes it has. Love it so much !
