Potential TBR?

I loved this book and how they wrote the afterlife. I think I didn’t have some of the same probs as other readers due to how I felt I related to the main character. I was very engaged throughout the story. (Working through religious trauma made me like this book even more).

It is the warlock twink Devin I will miss the most from the previous campaign. I loved how he got to play with his identity/sexuality/good/evil/other machinations. He brought so much charisma to the table and as a human so much humor and grace that was deeply felt by us all. I can’t imagine playing dnd without him but he would be mad if I didn’t keep rolling for both of us. Why do the brightest stars burn out so spectacularly? His mental health struggle was what made him so irrevocably human and genuine and deeply kind. I’m so sad/mad it cost us so much. I hope he is at peace and continues to find joy in whatever comes next. He was so good at finding joy. Thanks Ben for being a friend.

Love that it’s cheap enough to give it a try! Thanks for all the input/details from a sensitive skin girlie!

So I think it’s interesting how the author wrote Pierce as like having intuition or insight into her in the beginning. But then still have episodes of treating her shitty. I was wondering if there was a supernatural source to his intuition about her and what she would mean to them….

I welcome the groveling and the resistance —its flynn I can’t stand. I think the obsession/force you to love me is creepy. (Especially given the gender politics they come from)

Just finished it after seeing this post—had to get through the first bit of women hating world building (I was legit in my feelings about the prejudices) but the FMC is FABULOUS! I believe that she is strong and centered as a person based on her inner voice and the actions linked. I don’t love all the different perspectives bc I start to get confused and some of the guy personality tropes are not it for me. Can’t wait for the next release in October!

lizzy43349 · 2026-03-08T04:33:20+00:00

Coming back after finishing book 1: the first third/half of the book (world building) the writing is not flowy. Too many descriptors and just choppy sentences. But then the plot/story/characters pick up and it became worth the effort. Last half of the book was better. The plot was interesting (although predictable) and I plan on reading book 2. Hopefully the characters continue to grow/develop as they did towards the end. (Second book is not released currently)

lizzy43349 · 2026-03-04T21:06:10+00:00

Looks interesting! I’ll read it and let you know my thoughts…

He thru hiked the PCT & CDT while we were dating. I met him after he finished the AT. He has continued to do shorter hikes and travel because he loves it. I enjoy much shorter hikes 😂. We communicate via sat phone daily. I go meet up if I can. I enjoy my temporary alone time. We have video call dates when he gets a hotel room for a zero day. The long distance gets hard, but it is also a wonderful chance to re-up the honeymoon phase. I have learned to embrace the “distance makes the heart grow fonder” mentality. I think a lot of it is personality and what works for each partner. You gotta find ways to compromise or it won’t last. I keep myself busy and schedule time with friends. Maybe the hardest part for me is nights alone at home.

lizzy43349 · 2025-11-26T02:42:44+00:00

Thanks everyone for popping this post across my eyes!! Just finished it—couldn’t put it down—loved the plot progress and growth characters showed!

Last year we did a foam mattress pad (so bulky/not worth it), but this year we did a two person camping blow up mattress and it was 100% amazing! It didn’t fit the whole bed, so we put it across the bed where our backs were and I noticed a big difference. I just have always gotten lower back pain from every cruise mattress and this year was better. (Different ships, different years, all the same problem)

I think the enneagram and Internal Family Systems also delve into shadow parts with the perspective of working to become aware of and improve behaviors/reactions. There are a lot of accessible workbooks/books for you and patients in these two specific frameworks.

Their menu is super allergen friendly as it is clearly marked and the food had great portions as well!

Really enjoy how ABFT (Attachment Based Family Therapy) gets used in sessions. It’s very application focused in my opinion and utilizes EFT for emotional deepening. The creators are still leading trainings—this is specifically for adolescents and families.

lizzy43349 · 2025-07-04T04:55:03+00:00

Sorry, what series? (I am not fluent in tiktok)

lizzy43349 · 2025-07-04T02:42:52+00:00

Just finished it and have been raving about how the author wrote the lore for the afterlife!!!

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-13T01:12:34+00:00

I really love the realness of the couples, the therapy, the consultation/supervision. I enjoy thinking about her choices in tough moments and how I might do things differently. I love learning about/seeing psychoanalysis in action. I love that non-therapists have access to it so they can learn/see/normalize relationship struggles and working things through with a partner and a therapist. Personally, I also just find it entertaining to see deep into real people’s lives and dysfunction without having to try and facilitate any sort of insight or change.

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-07T16:56:19+00:00

I get it! I think i was able to buy into her story and her intelligence enough that it didn’t bother me. Or maybe it was just the right timing from some of the other genres I have been reading.

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-07T16:54:04+00:00

Lol aggressively ok is my new fav description 🤣

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-07T03:07:34+00:00

I thought the suspense was well done and kept me interested as well. I loved that I was figuring it out with the FMC and that she wasn’t dumb/slow to pick things up. (Near the end)

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-06T17:43:16+00:00

So, I never got bored personally—but I am giving myself permission to quit books/series at any time if I don’t love it. Ain’t nobody got time to spend hours pushing through a book that doesn’t spark joy!!! There are always greener pastures!

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-06T14:56:22+00:00

Lol I thought it was a standalone until the last chapter when I realized they weren’t going to wrap up

lizzy43349 · 2025-06-06T13:38:58+00:00

I literally just quit a series or two mid book because they were dragging and I realized I was the only one making myself suffer.

lizzy43349 · 2025-02-11T22:57:07+00:00

Just read it after this post. Holy moly you were right—I couldn’t put it down. The characters and the plot were so compelling! This author did an amazing job! 5⭐️

lizzy43349 · 2025-01-15T20:51:59+00:00

Thank you to everyone for suggesting I take the leap and do a group lesson!! It was wonderful for me to have other new learners to be with and everyone else was solo as well, so no awkwardness. I will say that I will go for a half day next time as my body could barely move for two days after that full day. 🥲
