The Magic of Now
Beta Reader Comments for
By: Cailin Barrett-Bressack
Rep: Alex Land, MWLA
I sat down after work today intending to read another fifty pages and ended up reading the whole ding-dang book.
Holy shit this is such a good twist
was not ready for this
what i love most about this book is how it challenges your perceptions about existentialism and what it means to be human. Who knew hearing a goat's perception could make you think so deeply?
i would die for these nuns
this feels like her azula moment
ok yas girlboss except
goat tension

Red flags for my Sapphic bubblegum horror
Lyric's red flags:
Obsessed with her best friend
In the midst of a coming of rage
Eleanor's red flags:
Will ditch you for boys
Possibly a cult member
Is the last person said boys were seen with before they disappeared
#unhingedpit #YA #H #AG

Lyric: In love with her best friend,thinks her friend and the dead boys showing up are connected, smart and loyal a concoction for trouble. Quote "Every day I choose to have her in my life like a toxic habit I can't quite quit."
images of girl running in cowgirl boots and image of girl with lighter under tongue

Eleanor: may or may not be a part of a cult, has a taste for boys and an unhealthy obsession with her best friend, is a ride or die quite literally. Quote-"do I need to kick someone's add because you know I will do it. " images of girl with red on her hands, and another with a girl licking a lollipop.

DAUGHTER OF MOON GODDESS x SONG TO DROWN RIVERS

Falling in love shouldn't be this difficult. When family and fate are trying to keep them apart, how far will Shizhi and Mingniu go to defend their love? To the stars above...or hell itself?
