- 0:51[SPEAKER_00]: Like no actually like how we just don't we must not like the same things But we'll see I guess before we do that though.
- 0:59[SPEAKER_00]: We'll need to do reason reads.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: That's pretty good.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_00]: I am listening.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I tried to start
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: the right move.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: I almost just said play along.
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: I tried to start the right move.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: No, it is play along.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_00]: I started play along on my Kindle.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_00]: When I said started, I mean, I got to like, page three.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm listening to the surveillance of night, which was my TBR pool that I'm still listening to.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_00]: We have to be each and I forgot my AirPods.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_00]: We don't.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_00]: We don't.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: We were in my last week.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_01]: We both left while I was on Sunday, which I'm on.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I was on airplane.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: I was on the bus time in forever.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_01]: It was a buddy airplane.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_01]: Two is the breeze airlines.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_00]: What does that feed into?
- 1:53[SPEAKER_00]: What made your airline decide for the feed into?
- 1:56[SPEAKER_00]: Because most of those like,
- 1:58[SPEAKER_00]: I wrote JetBlue, love to JetBlue, and it fed into American Airlines.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_00]: I had never heard of that.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe say Southwest because it was over in near Southwest.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_01]: I would probably.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard of that, I don't know.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that makes sense.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't bad though.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_01]: It really was not bad.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_01]: The only thing is,
- 2:17[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the first takeoff, that's like a whole video of me taking because I was like, I just need to have this reaction, you know, takeoff is a wild experience.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_01]: My whole chest and face turned beat red because like freaking out, I was like, oh my god, I'm going to die here.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_01]: I, my sister got me like hands folded saying a prayer to Jesus.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_01]: I, please God, don't let me die.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: The first 10 minutes are always questionable.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter if they are the best pilot in the world.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_00]: Takeoff is always questionable for me.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_01]: and I didn't mind the landing.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_01]: I love landing with the landing.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: That's Caleb.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_00]: He hates the landing and I'm like, I hate taking off.
- 2:49[SPEAKER_00]: When I'm landing, I'm like, listen, we get closer to the ground.
- 2:53[SPEAKER_00]: If something happens, we pull on the parachute.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying, correct.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_01]: But in the air, when it's like,
- 3:00[SPEAKER_01]: a little bit of turbulence when it's getting up.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 3:03[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, this is where I died.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_01]: This is where I'm done.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: That was mean, but on my eight hour flight to Ireland, the first time I ever got on a plane.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, my flight was an hour and 20 minutes.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_01]: Both of them.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_00]: I should have started that way.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_01]: And after in 20 minutes it's back.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_00]: Because we got up in the air and I said,
- 3:24[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in this thing for eight hours, like I full blown panic because I was like, where do I go?
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: I was about like that guy who was like trying to open up the hatch because I was like, oh, I got it off.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_01]: But also that I'm irritated now because it's me four hours to drive home.
- 3:38[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_01]: It took me four hours to drive home from a little beach to...
- 3:41[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever you understand the science of flying, you're like, why do I drive?
- 3:46[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was like, I could have been two, four, a lot of them.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_00]: Just wait until you take a plane to Disney for the first time and then you're like, wow, I could go from GSP to MCO and an hour and a half instead of an eight hour drive without stops.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_00]: No, will my flight, when I leave for Italy, literally nine days?
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: And my flight, we fly to Istanbul, which isn't Turkey first.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_00]: And that, when we have a layover to Rome, it's a 10 hour flight.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_00]: This will be my longest flight.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think my flight to Serbia, I'm going to have to order some, yeah.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: To you, really?
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: OK. Because I have to have some.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: McKinsey would like to tell you, Washington's comparison.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, you just really went for it there.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: I am with child.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I was like, okay, yeah, I haven't ate a lot today, usually by the end of the day.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what I expected you to say, but that was like really not so long.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was in the, when I told my coworkers that I was pregnant with my daughter, I sat down at lunch and we were all eating lunch and I was getting mad about something and I was like going off at something.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: I just looked at him and said, I'm sorry.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pregnant.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just really irritated right now.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you're wondering what McKinsey has had zero brain cells for the past, like.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_01]: And why she has not been able to read.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have the mental capacity to absorb words at the moment.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_01]: It's getting better.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: I am Instagram.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_01]: So she's been fighting for her life as- Bye.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_01]: So.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_00]: So why?
- 5:24[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like the two of me.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: I was like I'm fighting for my life.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sick.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: So tired.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like I'm seeing why I think of the tunnel.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: So.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_01]: Nering the her end of the first trauma.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: Like you're at the end of the first trauma.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_01]: Stir right.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have to complete 12 weeks or complete 13 weeks?
- 5:43[SPEAKER_01]: I would say 12.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_00]: So then almost I have like a few more days left and then I'll be out.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, by the time this comes out, she'll be like, what do you think it's?
- 5:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_01]: You're just a little.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_00]: Not just a little behind.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: A little behind.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't announced it to the world yet.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to be up to date on everything.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: By the time this comes out, I will have already posted it.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: I just also, because I just haven't felt good.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like, my friends have a talk of her, and I just haven't cared to like post about it until we went to the beach.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: And I was going through my pictures.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: I have like one picture of us on the beach where I was like holding my belly.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_00]: And then every other picture, I was like, I literally looks like I put 30 pounds.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just like, I can't post this like.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: But I also just didn't take a lot of pictures cause I didn't know I was like this.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so for this episode we picked like 10 to 12 books that are I picked all my top five star reads like so I just went through and everything that I gave five stars to I went and tried to find a one star review that mainly like I could probably pick apart and be like I don't agree with this so.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_01]: I did some recent, um, of my top faves and I think I had two books that I just wanted to read the ones I've used because I also did not like it and I ended up loving them.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so what was your first book?
- 7:12[SPEAKER_01]: Fevered ring.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like just finished.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_01]: And it's got a stop for pretending I'm remotely interested in the romance of lives of stray people in romance books.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_01]: Give me the days I give me death.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, actually.
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: You're obviously not reading your throat.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_01]: I'll just train my predictable.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_01]: And I truly don't believe it's due to remotely think like this.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_01]: Also, for all the cowboying and the marketing, this guy with a eco fitness, four to five days a week, and working on office, and be basically the same character.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_01]: Like who are we talking about?
- 7:45[SPEAKER_01]: What?
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so it was a, it was showing, people doing much showing a,
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: tably on a reality TV show.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_01]: One, you're watching a straight reality TV show.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: If you've ever watched the bachelor like you that just be like that's what it is.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_00]: Like you know what you're getting into.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_01]: Now what you're getting into the girls are staying on the farm and it shows them working on the farm.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_01]: It literally says in the book mornings are reserved for farm or actor names are reserved for whatever the show needs him to do.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: So literally
- 8:20[SPEAKER_01]: it tells you what he's doing in the morning.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
- 8:23[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_01]: And no, where did it say it was?
- 8:26[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_01]: That part I don't understand.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_00]: Usually they have like the tropes listed on like what to expect.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't see it, it's probably not there.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_00]: bless.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I did forthwing because obviously that is like my favorite book of all time.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: And it's it's we it does like the things that we do where it says this book is not for you if you do not like frail small short hair when the lead who's obsessed with the huge big broad male lead and who just can't shut up about it.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_00]: So okay.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_00]: On.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: Egotistic, strong milk, rheumatic interest who are trying to act strong like they almost become the unknown side characters.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_00]: Don't hate on Riddick, don't hate on BODY.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of Riddick and BODY, I...
- 9:18[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_01]: And what I was in for now, we went to this like restaurant.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_01]: And me and my sister just sit in there, sit in our lattes and in our breakfast and she said, oh my god, because she also says the fourth wing and in walks they didn't embody.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_01]: I had not even kidding you.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there was there, please insert picture above.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_01]: I will insert picture above eyes, bring some of them and I'm like, wow, this is an invasion of their privacy.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care, this is a Zaden Eboatie.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: It really was.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_01]: And they sat right behind us, and my sister had the view of them, and she was just sitting there like, though.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_00]: Like, because I didn't want to ever approach you to be in a movie.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this also, this made me get gold because it says expecting dragons to be more of a more significant role of the plot, but you have to keep waiting and waiting.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_00]: What?
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think you probably should read the next two books because
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: If the Imperian series, like this is gonna end up being about the dragons, it's not about violence, right?
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: And I wholeheartedly believe that.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: There were so many dragons.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_00]: Well, like, but yeah, and then if you get into like iron flame, the like history of the dragons, there's so much.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't either, because I also said there was no chemistry between the main leads.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_00]: And if this romance is the kind we're swinging over, I better shift our human species to another universe.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_00]: Stop.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: You know the bad, I didn't even read this earlier.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_00]: You know the kind of bad ties in your mouth when you read that part and breaking down.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_00]: I know you've made you look at the worst kind of bitter days when you read the spikes you see.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_00]: Stop, I didn't even see the part about breaking dawn.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: That makes me so happy.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_01]: Craig, do we love it?
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: I did frost.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you loved it.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_01]: For seven hours straight was straight up torture.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_00]: I want to hear if they listen to the dramatized version because the girl's voice is annoying.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_01]: Um, truly terrible writing and swat wildly unbuilt characters, but it passed the time and I will absolutely be reading the second Like a train wreck.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_01]: You can't look away from what okay, so I don't agree with that I looked the first one Did you finish the second one?
- 11:52[SPEAKER_01]: I did finish the second one.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like as much as the first one really yeah I did love the first one.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I happened to a lot of sequels
- 11:59[SPEAKER_01]: I like the second one.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_01]: It was fine.
- 12:01[SPEAKER_01]: Just kind of slow.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_01]: And if that was written about the second one, I'm going to understand with the first one.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_01]: It was such a fun time.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_01]: I finished it too.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, It's so good.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: There's no way that that is about the first book.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_01]: If you want, like a famous man's with Bachelor of Arts.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_01]: And that's that man trials.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_00]: And like humans too, a good crossover if you men in Fayworld.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay, this because I just love hearing people trash talk.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: Um, silver flames.
- 12:29[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_00]: Um, because I'm such a lover of this book.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_00]: Nest is garbage.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: This is, this is an all caps.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I'm screaming against you.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: Stop romanticizing.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_00]: She being talks it with.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_00]: She suffered.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_00]: This book is a big note for me.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: And before you come with internalized misogy, don't worry.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_00]: I also think Tamlin sucks.
- 12:46[SPEAKER_00]: However, he was just a guy that Pharaoh barely knew.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_00]: Nest so was Pharaoh's big sister.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_00]: And then she gave quotes to talk about how terrible Nesta was.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like I want to ask this person now.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this was right in March of this year.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_01]: What was that before after the interview?
- 13:08[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm pretty sure.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if she watched the interview then maybe of her talking about the whole Nesta situation because I feel like people finally understood Nesta after that, but I'll talk about that.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_00]: Nesta loves to read and she never wanted to teach her younger sister how to read, but there was no problem in encouraging favorite of him on Nesta herself was sitting at home.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm saying.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if people would still write the stuff they write about.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying, like everyone, I don't know.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I did, then met me, man.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_01]: But I'd be tired.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: I, I feel like I could have wrote a one-star of you, honestly.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever thought about that?
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: Like, loving a book and then just being like, wait, I probably could have written a one-star of you.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_01]: That's like one of those books where you're like, I said it was five stars and it was five stars.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_01]: I must have been, you see.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_01]: This is like, right.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it's masterpiece.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying I really enjoyed it.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I could have probably read a one-star review about it?
- 14:12[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I'm not going to.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to give it a five-star.
- 14:20[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I ever hated the book more.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_01]: All of these characters made me want to punch them in the face.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why your warnings were cranky.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_01]: What are you saying?
- 14:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_00]: I feel validated.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_00]: The trigger, I have to find the trigger warnings because they were so bad.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_00]: Like it literally was like alcoholism, like cirrhosis of the liver, and I'm like, wow, that's deep.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_00]: And then it was like dog killing snake, you know?
- 14:44[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, what?
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: This can't be real.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: good.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_01]: This low rating is brought to you by Chris.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_01]: I think actually was trying to write a caretaker or a character with an acts of service love language, but unfortunately he came across his ever separate, overstepping, boundary violating and controlling.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_01]: The text tells us.
- 15:01[SPEAKER_00]: Chris?
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_01]: The text tells us that this makes the recipe look different, but to me it seemed infantilizing that is too big a word for me.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_00]: Infantilizing?
- 15:18[SPEAKER_00]: It hinted fantasizing, I don't know, whatever, sorry.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_01]: It's just saying basically that a little wrist aside for choosing Chris, and I'm like, did we finish this in book?
- 15:28[SPEAKER_00]: Did you?
- 15:30[SPEAKER_00]: What?
- 15:30[SPEAKER_01]: Did we finish that book?
- 15:31[SPEAKER_00]: Two.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_00]: Did you do enough?
- 15:33[SPEAKER_01]: Um, private.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_01]: Did you do enough for the part?
- 15:36[SPEAKER_01]: Put your name.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_01]: Private user.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_00]: Can you on, sorry, graph?
- 15:40[SPEAKER_00]: Can you comment on people's, uh, You can hard it.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: And.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_00]: private user, put your name out there.
- 15:46[SPEAKER_00]: If you're going to talk to him, put your name out there.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so good.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: I hadn't had no complaints other than turner wings.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I did not say for work, but I need so totally, I thought I had to read that.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: If I read it, I thought you did.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'd zero issues with this look.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_00]: I ate it up.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good, but I also love needs so totally.
- 16:15[SPEAKER_00]: I said, okay, so to be honest, there were a few many things that threw this book off for me.
- 16:21[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty early on, I could tell this wouldn't be the book for me, but I tried to follow through.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: The part that got me was that I said, I think having two characters pushing 30 with the emotional intelligence of a toenail is is where the majority of the book went wrong.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_00]: All the bones of the book are there a fun setting, women in STEM, co-workers chopped in one room in one bed for a week.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, all great and fun things, but then your characters behave like they're in high school in the gates all the potentially great other things.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_00]: I don't agree with that.
- 16:56[SPEAKER_01]: You don't think they had the emotional of a child now.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, wow, I love this because
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: I must be just completely blind when I read because I don't look at stuff like that unless it slaps me in the face so bad.
- 17:11[SPEAKER_00]: And for me, like when it comes to emotional intelligence, like, I know plenty of people who are 28 years old and are not emotionally intelligent, right?
- 17:20[SPEAKER_00]: I know plenty of people, so I don't think that's unrealistic.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_00]: And like when they're in the working world and like, she's one of the few women in the business.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's just very interesting.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: I just was like, I don't necessarily agree with this because it said It also didn't like the fact that it's advertised as enemies in rivals to lovers when they're both clearly obsessed with each other from the get-go I don't think they're obsessed with each other.
- 17:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think like
- 17:49[SPEAKER_00]: I think she thinks he's attractive, but like they're also competitors in the business world, like they're competing for the same thing.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that naturally makes the enemies in me's, but like, they also have a attractive yes.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that can still, I think that's still realistic, yeah.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: I did love overboard by Candy Starner, because that is such a fun summary.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_01]: If you have not read it, yeah.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_01]: Now, some of the things, I personally love the audio.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_01]: But some of the things she wrote was just like hilarious.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_01]: And I could see where it could be like, soft pudding to some people, but I loved it.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_01]: They quoted one of the lines, and it said, it was the worst time wedgie of my life.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_01]: Not only was it as hot as Satan's armpit, making sweat slide down my spine into that lovely place where my underwear had decided to get real cause you with my back side, but I was also surrounded by cameras.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_01]: That's hilarious.
- 18:49[SPEAKER_01]: That's really funny.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
- 18:51[SPEAKER_01]: Why would you not like that?
- 18:52[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I ended up giving this book once our the first half of the book race through because I race through because of how much I was enjoying it, but it started to fall off quite a bit.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe this book was written well.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_01]: But that being said, I felt like the book ended up crossing a lot of lines that shouldn't have it, especially with cheating or acting on the basis of cheating.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_01]: First off, I have some big feelings about that, I'll say in a second.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_01]: I felt that Finn was overstepping way too much for someone who was a girlfriend.
- 19:21[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like every single person on that boat saved the captain was acting like a horny teenager.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: another issue I had with the book.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_01]: It was very long for no reason a lot of scenes were unnecessary and added nothing to the plot at all.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_01]: I also think there was an obsessiveness and how many times they could get drunk.
- 19:38[SPEAKER_01]: Overall, I'm quite sad not to have like this book as much as I would hoped.
- 19:41[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, anyways, let's debunk this right here.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_01]: First.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_01]: There was no cheating going on.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: I was about to say is there a cheating?
- 19:48[SPEAKER_01]: No, so the cook and the head steward lady, the head person on the, it's not a cruise ship, the boat, the boat, whatever any of the large boat.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_01]: they had had a past, and they were together.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_01]: And it's basically a reality TV show on a cellbook.
- 20:10[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_01]: And so, of course, they got the cook that she used to date because they wanted something to do with it, right?
- 20:18[SPEAKER_01]: And she neither one of them knew that they were going to be on the boat, whether or not together.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my gosh.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_01]: The cook shows up.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_01]: And his girlfriend is one of the other students.
- 20:28[SPEAKER_01]: Like his girlfriend, girlfriend.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_01]: This is spoiler.
- 20:35[SPEAKER_01]: So fast forward, if you don't want to listen to it.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: Baby, baby, baby, okay.
- 20:39[SPEAKER_01]: About halfway through, he breaks up with her, because he's like, I can't do this.
- 20:47[SPEAKER_01]: I still have feelings for this girl.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like being around her made him realize that he still have feelings for her.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_01]: He breaks up with her.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_01]: The next day goes to the other girl.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_01]: Now I can understand what I really appreciate you, but also they're on a boat and can find quarters, like, and he broke up with you.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_01]: She made it seem like he did not break up with her.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_01]: Even though at the end, when the show, you know how like they get the reality cast together and like show we're totally happy.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_01]: They show that he did break up with her.
- 21:18[SPEAKER_01]: And so she, when the show is airing, they get painted as bad guys.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_01]: But after the thing, no, his girlfriend that he broke up with on the ship is the bad guy because she also had sex with someone else.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and nobody knew a saucy.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like it's crazy.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_00]: It's a crazy book.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
- 21:39[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
- 21:40[SPEAKER_01]: It's really fun And they worked for like five days straight and then had a day off.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_01]: So on that day off, they all went to go party.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because it was a requirement
- 21:59[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, see if you can guess this book.
- 22:02[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it was good.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's the aftermath of my overdosing Wattpad where a wolf teen phase.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_00]: Right, no regrets.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_00]: Those days were a blast now.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_00]: But now I'm nearing for something with that much more like this.
- 22:17[SPEAKER_00]: Wolf Wolfie, to my surprise, this book was written by the same author of Cupid's Match, which ultimately is one of my favorite Wattpad stories back then.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_00]: Well, what I'd be honest, I've never read anything on floppads.
- 22:33[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:34[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:34[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:36[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:42[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_01]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:48[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:51[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard anything on floppads.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_00]: Said I definitely appreciate the sword tapers from the book, which should make for breezy read, but instead they stretch the story thin, spinning in place without progression.
- 23:04[SPEAKER_00]: Multiple chapters pass the plot remains static, looping the same unememble moment without momentum.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_00]: Their narration meanders in my interest waned with every digression.
- 23:13[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't agree.
- 23:18[SPEAKER_00]: This is the moment a roar enters the wolf kingdom, the story loses all pace.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_01]: I don't agree with that.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_01]: I was kind of where it's sped up.
- 23:30[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.
- 23:31[SPEAKER_00]: It says we're subjected to endless cycles of the same internal monologues, which I can actually agree with.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_00]: With key motivations rehashed in nearly identical wording chapter after chapter.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 23:46[SPEAKER_00]: A teenage man who once cobbled up anything on the orange app might have devoured this.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the author's writing feels frozen in time, unchallenged, unrefined, and pavement painfully surface level.
- 23:57[SPEAKER_00]: There's no richness to the world, no complexity to the characters, just a void-shell of a story.
- 24:03[SPEAKER_00]: The least me wondering why I bothered.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_00]: I don't agree with that.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_00]: I think the world, especially for people who don't like what's the word, um,
- 24:15[SPEAKER_01]: from way to worse.
- 24:17[SPEAKER_00]: The Omegaverse, the Omegaverse.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_00]: Because that, honestly, after reading things in the Omegaverse, I was terrified to read anything about where wolves, because I was like, oh, how much am I going to get out of this?
- 24:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:28[SPEAKER_00]: Because I was not a fan of the light Omegaverse reading that we did with Kelly's wood.
- 24:34[SPEAKER_00]: Very light.
- 24:35[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently, that's what we were talking about.
- 24:38[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought it was fantastic.
- 24:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:42[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I was like elevated of twilight.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:45[SPEAKER_00]: It's like this is higher level twilight, elevated.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_00]: Twilight for adults, twilight for adults, minus a vampire.
- 24:51[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm the same part of it.
- 24:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 24:53[SPEAKER_00]: I just...
- 24:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think people...
- 24:56[SPEAKER_00]: I always want to ask people who write reviews like this, like, what's your background, you know, what are you certified?
- 25:02[SPEAKER_00]: Have you written anything?
- 25:03[SPEAKER_00]: Have you written anything?
- 25:03[SPEAKER_00]: I do have a degree in literature, because I'm just genuinely curious, because I know writers don't have a background in it, but the people who are going to pick it apart, I'm like, you have to go in with the intention of doing that.
- 25:15[SPEAKER_01]: It is called vibrating.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_01]: Literally, I thought you said a different word and I was just thinking about it sound like a different word.
- 25:23[SPEAKER_01]: A vibe space.
- 25:25[SPEAKER_00]: Rating.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_01]: Ever.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_01]: Really?
- 25:29[SPEAKER_00]: What does that mean?
- 25:30[SPEAKER_01]: A vibe space rating.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway.
- 25:33[SPEAKER_01]: But, genuinely, I don't care.
- 25:37[SPEAKER_01]: I'm reading for Fundee's, for Fundee's, not for a five star masterpiece.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_01]: No, like, if I come across the five star masterpiece, then I'd write good about myself.
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: When I notice a spelling mistake, I'm like, wow, I'm really smart, because I just got this spelling mistake.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, it's damn out of books, I feel like that should not be happening, but that's just me.
- 25:56[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, like with the amount of things, right.
- 25:59[SPEAKER_01]: But have saved that conversation for my, okay, for later.
- 26:04[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I mean, wolf, I did wolf.
- 26:07[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, yes.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 26:10[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a dark room.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_01]: I like a dark room.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_01]: And it's keep that in mind, okay?
- 26:14[SPEAKER_01]: Is a dark, well, I'm sure it's not as dark as it is.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I said.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_00]: She said it was a super dark.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not reading it.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's an intro to dark room.
- 26:20[SPEAKER_01]: It's apparently like a toe dip.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, I thought it was pretty dark.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_01]: It says, I hope they didn't do a motorcycle accident.
- 26:30[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
- 26:32[SPEAKER_00]: That's not, it's a motorcycle gang.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_01]: That's why.
- 26:35[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
- 26:35[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 26:37[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, DNF at 87, page 87, I was like, 87.
- 26:40[SPEAKER_01]: That was like, wow, wow, I was so interested.
- 26:43[SPEAKER_01]: DNF at page 87, that was not consensual, not consent.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_01]: That was straight up assault.
- 26:48[SPEAKER_01]: They got worse with every page the EMC could be and should be in prison.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_01]: Was it on the verge of non-consensual?
- 26:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but she seemed to like it very much so.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_00]: So did you get her internal Donald dialogue when it was happening?
- 27:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_01]: She seemed to like it very much so.
- 27:07[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, even if it was not consent.
- 27:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so like it's a dark romance for a reason.
- 27:14[SPEAKER_01]: Read your trigger warnings.
- 27:15[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure it was a sad one said I needed darker.
- 27:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's crazy.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_01]: Another one said they needed darker.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, wow, that's bold.
- 27:24[SPEAKER_00]: No, we're not.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_00]: We're not.
- 27:26[SPEAKER_01]: We're not.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_01]: Like, how is that was about as much that I think I can handle?
- 27:31[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it wasn't bad like I liked it.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but like, all they're in good darker than that.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, did they're right move by list on 40?
- 27:38[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_00]: We're like the wrong move, DNM of 55%.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_00]: Bye.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_00]: Would I tell you the amount of like,
- 27:45[SPEAKER_00]: small.
- 27:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like this one said, this is too corny.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_00]: No, thank you.
- 27:50[SPEAKER_00]: Plus he supposed to be an anti-social close-off man who only likes a sister, but he was ready to change everything in his life two days after meeting her.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_01]: Calm when you know you now, when you're not silly.
- 28:02[SPEAKER_00]: I really tried with the series and author, but it doesn't work for me.
- 28:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's way too long for no reason
- 28:13[SPEAKER_00]: someone said, okay, I don't know who said that this was a slow burn, but it said DNF 30% slow burn, not but no numbers that it was a slow burn ever said it was a slow burn.
- 28:24[SPEAKER_01]: No one ever said it was a slow burn.
- 28:26[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, maybe someone lied to you, but I don't think it's marketed as this, I don't think any of Liz Tom Forty's works are marketed as a slow burn.
- 28:32[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're very, like said, unless you want to consider Isaiah.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_01]: Because it was a slow burn for him, because he's been, I feel like, if I'm getting off my head for the years, I learned kind of Miller wrote, was a slow burn, was a slowish, slowish burn.
- 28:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 28:52[SPEAKER_00]: Um, read the sentence, I'm not like the other girls, and then deleted it from my Kindle by.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that is bold, that is bold.
- 29:02[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't, I wouldn't say like indie.
- 29:05[SPEAKER_00]: I would say she's like other girls, but I also don't remember her saying that.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously, didn't bother me any.
- 29:11[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't remember saying that either.
- 29:13[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't consider me because I hated this book.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of people love it.
- 29:18[SPEAKER_01]: Bye back America.
- 29:19[SPEAKER_01]: I hate it a bit.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_01]: I did not enjoy it.
- 29:21[SPEAKER_01]: I did it.
- 29:22[SPEAKER_01]: Did I do enough of it?
- 29:23[SPEAKER_01]: I consider me as the son of you.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_01]: I did.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_00]: I feel good about that.
- 29:28[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, a lot of people seem to love it.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it's not my cup of tea.
- 29:31[SPEAKER_01]: One, it was too long anyways.
- 29:32[SPEAKER_01]: I liked this one.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_01]: DNF at 30% of the Evansy's personality is that she's so tiny and so I see that MMC gives one a 12-year-old boy vibes not 27-year-old man professional athlete, sexy, God, energy.
- 29:44[SPEAKER_01]: Their relationship doesn't develop organically at all.
- 29:47[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll love, then, less bank.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, that was a mistake back and forth.
- 29:52[SPEAKER_01]: I understand not only initially trusting him, but he was giving her no reason.
- 29:56[SPEAKER_01]: not to, and she had no problem letting him get in her pants.
- 29:59[SPEAKER_01]: So it was all very childish and repetitive, and this book is so long for no reason.
- 30:05[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
- 30:05[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
- 30:06[SPEAKER_00]: Um, do you want to know my
- 30:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that was my biggest, because, okay, obviously, in a middle school, that's going to happen.
- 30:23[SPEAKER_00]: And I will say, as a middle school teacher from eight years ago, when I first started teaching to now, people are way more bold than what they say to you.
- 30:31[SPEAKER_00]: And like, what they say out loud, it's way more, like, just people don't care.
- 30:38[SPEAKER_00]: But like the fact that it talks about that in the book, and I don't know.
- 30:43[SPEAKER_00]: It gave me the egg like as a teacher I cannot read that stuff because that just gives me such an egg.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I can't I can't read it and I was like why are we almost like romanticizing the fact that these high school boys are hitting on her and like she
- 30:58[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if she put a stop to it.
- 30:59[SPEAKER_00]: Like, did in the, I mean, she did, but not in the way that I would have because like no immediately like stop saying that like that's so disrespectful as a teacher.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, to say things like that.
- 31:10[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 31:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like that was what bothered me because I was like, oh, no, could have never had.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_01]: There was lots of reasons I didn't like that, but gosh, we need to do a whole episode on.
- 31:19[SPEAKER_00]: I would love that.
- 31:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't know if anyone who wrote the books, but it's just fun.
- 31:25[SPEAKER_01]: Cause we didn't like, I'm sorry.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, um, this was I did.
- 31:30[SPEAKER_00]: I thought about this because I was going through my like rated ranked books and I was like, oh, that's really okay.
- 31:35[SPEAKER_00]: This was a flicker in the dark past day feeling him to this day.
- 31:38[SPEAKER_00]: So one of my favorite thrillers like loved it.
- 31:43[SPEAKER_00]: Um, this is one of the worst thrillers I've read all year.
- 31:45[SPEAKER_00]: This is even just from five years ago.
- 31:47[SPEAKER_00]: So this book has been out for a while.
- 31:49[SPEAKER_00]: It paint me.
- 31:51[SPEAKER_00]: to keep turning the pages of the book.
- 31:53[SPEAKER_01]: Then why did you?
- 31:54[SPEAKER_00]: The only reason is because I kept going.
- 31:57[SPEAKER_00]: Was because I had a theory from the very beginning about what happened and I needed to prove myself right.
- 32:03[SPEAKER_00]: And guess what, I did just that down to the letter.
- 32:06[SPEAKER_00]: I did not.
- 32:06[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how you guessed it.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I'm once again blind while I'm reading also it's called Google if I don't like a book I'm not reading it and I'm going to Google what happened is that's what I'm saying this is that in short it was slow-boring disasterly predictable and unrealistic I don't think so and then what mean part of it maybe but like it's also thriller it said it is so easy to scare me and I can be a fan of this slow burn but this poor thing bored
- 32:37[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, can you use slow burn for a thriller?
- 32:42[SPEAKER_00]: Can you use that phrase?
- 32:43[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 32:44[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I didn't think so either.
- 32:45[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 32:46[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it works for a thriller.
- 32:48[SPEAKER_01]: Unless there's like a romance thriller.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_00]: And then I said, all of that being said, could it was anyone who could write a book I simply can never, wow.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_00]: So you're gonna play a part of this book and then say it, but I can never do it.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.
- 33:01[SPEAKER_01]: It's really bad.
- 33:02[SPEAKER_00]: That's the part that kills me.
- 33:06[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, love that.
- 33:07[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, this is in her own leg by with some 40 like one of your favorites.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not sure how we in this series and don't include the people who started it all a bit.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_01]: But for the lack of the others, but a nice ending for Monti one.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_01]: It is the point very clear that this is a baseball romance with the
- 33:35[SPEAKER_01]: It literally said it's kind of a spin-off.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: Baseball, it is a spin-off of the two baseball books, not the basketball and hockey books, so that is why, Brock Sea Lady, that is why.
- 33:50[SPEAKER_00]: That's like just embarrassing, so yeah.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_01]: Also.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I screenshot it another one, and I can't find it, but it was really funny.
- 34:02[SPEAKER_01]: That was play along.
- 34:04[SPEAKER_00]: I can never run.
- 34:05[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, that was all for that one.
- 34:08[SPEAKER_00]: I hate when people miss the point.
- 34:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 34:10[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever.
- 34:11[SPEAKER_00]: I did one, one dark window, Barry took it like, Oh, Lord, I have nothing bad to say about this book.
- 34:17[SPEAKER_00]: And it bothers me that people did.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember how many pages it was if I'm look real quick, because this has a page number that they did and after that, I'm curious how far they made it.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_00]: Is that the next one?
- 34:30[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, there's on those 400 book pages.
- 34:33[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't have to do it 2.05 halfway, halfway.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_00]: So like, okay, reasons why I didn't like it.
- 34:42[SPEAKER_00]: My expectations were too high.
- 34:43[SPEAKER_00]: I saw so many people love this book, so many positive reviews for this, and it did make my expectations rise unrealistically high.
- 34:49[SPEAKER_00]: The writing had no emotion.
- 34:51[SPEAKER_00]: It was written in a very bland way, and comes across as if it's facts are being presented, but full, but all jumbled up.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_00]: Rather than a story being written, I was bored.
- 35:03[SPEAKER_00]: I started to skim.
- 35:05[SPEAKER_00]: The world building and the plot did not make much sense to me.
- 35:08[SPEAKER_00]: I was confused.
- 35:10[SPEAKER_00]: The card significance took me while to understand, and I was not impressed.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_00]: The characters were boring, and I didn't like anyone.
- 35:18[SPEAKER_00]: I would have liked to know more about Nightmare, but I stopped caring about it.
- 35:22[SPEAKER_00]: Read the second book.
- 35:24[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly feel like they can't understand this book.
- 35:30[SPEAKER_00]: I can't see where we will hate it, but
- 35:33[SPEAKER_00]: If you're saying that you want to know more about the nightmare, if you're saying that the plot was boring, then no, it's not like it was most like intricate plot that I really was so there's no what you're bored with that actually yes, I just I don't.
- 35:51[SPEAKER_00]: I do, I do understand where, especially because I was listening to it, how the cards were being read in the beginning, threw me off.
- 35:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 35:58[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, wait, what is happening?
- 36:00[SPEAKER_00]: But when I understood like the structure of the book, it made so much more sense like when I understood what was happening.
- 36:07[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess, I mean, I could see where if people don't like understand it, they're not going to like it, but like if you wanted to know more about a character, that's what the whole series was.
- 36:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 36:16[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, interesting, bring this second, the whole second book is about nightmare.
- 36:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 36:21[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but, okay, I did across the fan, she's Fabicathen cows.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_01]: Not the book for me.
- 36:30[SPEAKER_01]: The writing wasn't great in the dialogue made me cringe.
- 36:32[SPEAKER_01]: The serial killer part was scary.
- 36:36[SPEAKER_01]: Have you read a Katherine Cowles?
- 36:39[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so sorry.
- 36:40[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's literally a serial killer in every one of her books.
- 36:44[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you picked up thinking that it was to the Batman, maybe serial killer.
- 36:50[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a very expensive book.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_01]: And it was not that scary.
- 36:54[SPEAKER_01]: And then the second one says, I wish they all got eaten up by baitfoot.
- 36:59[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
- 36:59[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's crazy.
- 37:02[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.
- 37:03[SPEAKER_01]: To dialogue part was scary.
- 37:05[SPEAKER_01]: You did me?
- 37:06[SPEAKER_01]: Every time.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
- 37:07[SPEAKER_00]: I did say you swear.
- 37:08[SPEAKER_00]: I made a painting.
- 37:10[SPEAKER_00]: This one is maybe laughed because it said, oh, what did say you swear to you, or did you?
- 37:13[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see if we picked the same one.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, MFT.
- 37:16[SPEAKER_00]: This book is awful.
- 37:17[SPEAKER_00]: This is sort of mine.
- 37:18[SPEAKER_01]: Say you swear, this book will delete itself.
- 37:23[SPEAKER_00]: The thing that killed me was like the dialogue is choppy and very immature and sounds like a twin-goal wrote it.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_00]: their freshman in college, like they just graduated high school, that is what I expected.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_00]: And I have to remind myself, like, binding 13.
- 37:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they're going to sound like a bunch of teenage kids because they are teenagers.
- 37:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_00]: That's the part that kills me.
- 37:43[SPEAKER_00]: Because you must like, there's zero motion.
- 37:45[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not feeling any chemistry in between the protagonists.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_00]: It.
- 37:52[SPEAKER_00]: They did call chase a whip, which I love, love that for those facts.
- 37:57[SPEAKER_01]: I should have DNFed.
- 37:58[SPEAKER_01]: I wish she never woke up from the car accident.
- 38:01[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
- 38:03[SPEAKER_00]: Crazy.
- 38:05[SPEAKER_00]: Bonnifilled.
- 38:06[SPEAKER_00]: Bum, man.
- 38:08[SPEAKER_01]: Man, that is some crazy.
- 38:09[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, character.
- 38:10[SPEAKER_00]: That did nothing.
- 38:11[SPEAKER_00]: I will say, I do agree with us.
- 38:13[SPEAKER_00]: They were way too many side characters to keep straight.
- 38:16[SPEAKER_01]: This one says too many characters.
- 38:18[SPEAKER_01]: I was made that part does get confusing.
- 38:20[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, to one start though, no, not so much.
- 38:24[SPEAKER_00]: Because all of those people that they come back in the series, like,
- 38:27[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like the first book of a series is always going to be confusing with all the side characters, especially if they plan on making it a multi-book series.
- 38:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like if you like jumping in to caught up, like you meet Indy and Ryan and you meet, um,
- 38:47[SPEAKER_00]: I forget their names already.
- 38:49[SPEAKER_00]: The first one.
- 38:49[SPEAKER_00]: None of them even like, you like, oh, they go to this random dinner at their house.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, you know, that's actually kind of confusing, but all of these people like have their own book.
- 38:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 38:58[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 39:00[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't play along, which you like literally just started.
- 39:04[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't.
- 39:05[SPEAKER_01]: The enough hated the characters and no plot.
- 39:07[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow, okay.
- 39:09[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, to the wait.
- 39:11[SPEAKER_01]: I have nothing else to say about this.
- 39:15[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, then don't say to get all.
- 39:18[SPEAKER_01]: Slay Lizzy, you really did it this time.
- 39:21[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, don't worry if a woman is interested that you keep pursuing her.
- 39:25[SPEAKER_01]: And if she tells you, no, all you need to do is get her drunk enough to marry you.
- 39:29[SPEAKER_01]: But girl is okay because he's hot and turtless, so he really did trap you in a marriage.
- 39:34[SPEAKER_01]: Even if he's a silly little goofball,
- 39:36[SPEAKER_01]: And don't worry about your career girlfriend.
- 39:37[SPEAKER_01]: You can afford a couple of demotions, just stay with a guy who takes fantasy football beat but it's way too seriously.
- 39:43[SPEAKER_01]: Liz, you really ate this girl.
- 39:45[SPEAKER_01]: This girl put this on gaslighting.
- 39:48[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, seriously, just couldn't get enough of this door mat of an FM6.
- 39:55[SPEAKER_00]: OK, I will say the persistence of Isaiah.
- 40:01[SPEAKER_00]: seems a little unrealistic, but at the same time like she only kept telling him no, because they worked together.
- 40:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 40:09[SPEAKER_01]: Well, okay, and you haven't read, I haven't much to play along.
- 40:13[SPEAKER_01]: No, but there's a reason that you will find out and play along why he keeps flirting with her.
- 40:22[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's funny.
- 40:25[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's basically, I'll tell you this little part because it's not even like a
- 40:31[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he doesn't know who she is when they meet for the first time and then he finds out who she is to know.
- 40:36[SPEAKER_01]: I thought like, or the assistant or whatever, which is what you see and caught up.
- 40:41[SPEAKER_01]: This is like in the first little flashback and that the end of it, he said, I'll make sure none of the guys mess with you except for me.
- 40:47[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the only one that's allowed to flirt with you.
- 40:50[SPEAKER_01]: That's why he keeps doing it and he doesn't want anybody else to okay.
- 40:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so he like makes that promise to her like a day one, so that she's on her last spot all the other guys, correct.
- 40:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's fair.
- 41:01[SPEAKER_01]: So like you kind of like in play along like, don't you mess with my baby?
- 41:06[SPEAKER_00]: I was a diamonds guy.
- 41:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, diamonds guy, diamonds guy.
- 41:10[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I did a court this cruel and lovely, which is the first book in a keynote live series, but I say CSR because I'm obsessed with
- 41:23[SPEAKER_00]: DNF, and 51% I tried, this is not for me, the pause fast paced, but so boring.
- 41:31[SPEAKER_00]: Not contradicts itself.
- 41:33[SPEAKER_00]: The characters have zero chemistry.
- 41:35[SPEAKER_00]: The MMC treats her badly and then randomly protects her.
- 41:39[SPEAKER_00]: That's every MMC, there's no banter, no conversation.
- 41:47[SPEAKER_00]: I just, the FMC is no better.
- 41:49[SPEAKER_00]: She's whiny, she's small, so needs the man in the group to save her every single time.
- 41:56[SPEAKER_00]: Because it's mentioned a lot, she's teeny tiny.
- 41:59[SPEAKER_00]: She's starved, actually, things.
- 42:01[SPEAKER_01]: She, you know, well, she read the book and they're bored.
- 42:04[SPEAKER_01]: She's actually starved.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_00]: So that's, that's why she's seeing, I've just like, I don't understand like that's every character dynamic in any fantasy book that you read.
- 42:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 42:16[SPEAKER_00]: No, this might have been her first fantasy.
- 42:18[SPEAKER_01]: Um, twisted games, though.
- 42:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 42:22[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we're gonna stop loving that one.
- 42:23[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 42:24[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, after I finished twisted love, I thought it would be impossible to find a book that would be even worse.
- 42:27[SPEAKER_01]: I was mistaken to the game is the worst book I've ever encountered.
- 42:32[SPEAKER_01]: actually like twisty games better, yeah, most awful behind does not say behind, most awful behind badly written book, what the characters have zero chemistry.
- 42:46[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't even enjoy it for the cringe and I love a cringe.
- 42:50[SPEAKER_00]: I love a cringe.
- 42:51[SPEAKER_00]: Well, who says that?
- 42:52[SPEAKER_01]: That's right, Amanda, just to me, you will be dealt with.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_00]: Clarke.
- 42:58[SPEAKER_00]: Ballad.
- 43:00[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
- 43:01[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay, I have metal singer.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_00]: I love that people get so good on a show.
- 43:05[SPEAKER_01]: I made this book.
- 43:07[SPEAKER_01]: Um, one thing I will do is defend this book.
- 43:09[SPEAKER_00]: One thing about it with my other hell of an always good thing this book.
- 43:13[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I just giggle at least once.
- 43:14[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, he's at least.
- 43:17[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing about this book was good.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_00]: The dialogue was hosted and it characters reactions to certain conversations events just made no sense.
- 43:24[SPEAKER_00]: A twist ending is not smart when it makes no sense looking back through the book.
- 43:29[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.
- 43:30[SPEAKER_00]: You couldn't see the ending coming, but that's because it doesn't fit at all with the prior narration plot and notices in general.
- 43:37[SPEAKER_01]: It actually does make sense.
- 43:38[SPEAKER_01]: It actually does make sense.
- 43:39[SPEAKER_00]: Because you're looking at an unreliable narrator.
- 43:44[SPEAKER_01]: fear to inform you that you that is a thing not smart enough to make a make sense.
- 43:48[SPEAKER_00]: That is a thing.
- 43:50[SPEAKER_00]: The ending just shows the author wanted to have a shock twist while not taking the time to think about the story as a whole.
- 43:56[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like anybody who doesn't like the ending, it's an important problem because it doesn't make sense.
- 44:01[SPEAKER_00]: It does make sense.
- 44:01[SPEAKER_01]: Like, and the new book comes out on Tuesday.
- 44:05[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
- 44:05[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 44:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm freaking out.
- 44:07[SPEAKER_00]: I just like, hello, when you have an unreliable narrator
- 44:15[SPEAKER_00]: That's just like how the cooking crumbles.
- 44:17[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like this.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_00]: I just like, I get ill when I read one star of these about books I love.
- 44:31[SPEAKER_01]: So this is the last book I didn't love, which is quite sober.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is Brimstone.
- 44:39[SPEAKER_01]: This is Brimstone.
- 44:40[SPEAKER_01]: I like Quick Silver.
- 44:42[SPEAKER_01]: This is Brimstone.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_00]: It's a different story.
- 44:45[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like either one of them.
- 44:46[SPEAKER_01]: The Beth can suck my big toe.
- 44:48[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, that's an oldie of a turtle?
- 44:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 44:52[SPEAKER_01]: If you end your audiobook with, we hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave.
- 44:56[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I have anything this else to say about the quality of your book.
- 45:01[SPEAKER_00]: Is that one his heart at the end of the book?
- 45:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think it says that at the end of the, like, there we are.
- 45:10[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 45:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's interesting.
- 45:13[SPEAKER_01]: I lost IQ points trying to finish this novel.
- 45:15[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
- 45:18[SPEAKER_00]: I could not imagine trying to read that book pregnant.
- 45:21[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be my worst nightmare.
- 45:24[SPEAKER_01]: The best part of this book is marking it is read on this app.
- 45:26[SPEAKER_01]: I hate read this book.
- 45:27[SPEAKER_01]: This book is so bad.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_01]: Plot is bad.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_01]: Character is bad.
- 45:30[SPEAKER_01]: Smart scenes are bad.
- 45:31[SPEAKER_01]: Want to be full-metal, Alchemist Plot.
- 45:33[SPEAKER_01]: Get the out of here.
- 45:35[SPEAKER_00]: She read the review?
- 45:36[SPEAKER_01]: I did not, but I should have.
- 45:37[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 45:39[SPEAKER_00]: It's out of where you're jealous.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_00]: I won't read that one.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_00]: So review and you did it.
- 45:43[SPEAKER_01]: Colin Ambulance for my years.
- 45:45[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm dumb or for having read this.
- 45:47[SPEAKER_01]: So so.
- 45:49[SPEAKER_00]: So my last one is an academic affair just because like I knew people that one could write one sort of about it, but I loved this book.
- 46:00[SPEAKER_00]: I was under no delusion that this would be a good book.
- 46:03[SPEAKER_00]: I fear I've got a knock-off sorts for these kind of situations.
- 46:06[SPEAKER_00]: That said, I did want to read it purely for let's say explorative purposes.
- 46:10[SPEAKER_00]: I hate people.
- 46:16[SPEAKER_00]: It's lackluster, you cannot begin to care for either of the characters of or the plot.
- 46:20[SPEAKER_00]: The writing itself has passed past pace, yes.
- 46:22[SPEAKER_00]: But honestly, embarrassing it points.
- 46:24[SPEAKER_00]: Why is it a full out of place on the nose tailors with lyric being obstinately used in contemporary fiction?
- 46:32[SPEAKER_00]: A norm now.
- 46:34[SPEAKER_00]: If you hate Taylor Swift, just say you have to hate the freaking book because of it.
- 46:38[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like people who don't like Taylor Swift.
- 46:40[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, just kidding.
- 46:41[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
- 46:42[SPEAKER_00]: Wirebook talk nods.
- 46:44[SPEAKER_00]: So prevalent.
- 46:44[SPEAKER_00]: Have you all lost your minds?
- 46:46[SPEAKER_00]: Watching the FMC who is a PhD in popular fiction.
- 46:49[SPEAKER_00]: Recommend books any reader worth their salt would toss in the bin was definitely something.
- 46:54[SPEAKER_01]: That made no sense.
- 46:55[SPEAKER_00]: Like it just keeps going.
- 46:56[SPEAKER_00]: Just keeps going worth their salt.
- 46:58[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I just don't rest right now.
- 47:02[SPEAKER_00]: And as real press about this and I'm like I just feel so tired by the whole prospect of this Stoggy flat and uninspired book Well, we didn't read the site book, so now.
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry Hannah.
- 47:15[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited for the new one to come out.
- 47:16[SPEAKER_00]: I do it comes out.
- 47:17[SPEAKER_00]: I think June Orgeline.
- 47:19[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the two.
- 47:20[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah Oh, just so Come out like now.
- 47:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think it actually is
- 47:29[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be really good.
- 47:30[SPEAKER_00]: We should try it.
- 47:31[SPEAKER_00]: We should try it on the pod.
- 47:33[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, that would be too dim a callasta.
- 47:36[SPEAKER_01]: I think she's Australian.
- 47:38[SPEAKER_01]: I'd just sit there and like my mouth would be dropped by listening to her talk.
- 47:42[SPEAKER_01]: Totally.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, study and sparkling.
- 47:52[SPEAKER_00]: Or if I think it comes out, do I?
