okay i actually love the conflict between billy and eddie and the way it's written.

billy is always like "yeah i remember saying something to eddie. probably something isn't nice. i shouldn't have said it i think"

and eddie is like "yeah it was june 17th 1974 at 11:49 pm he said to me and i quote i have it written right here he said "fuck you"

"And what was it about human beings that wanted to measure love as if it were something that could be measured?"

Shhhh Ari is being Aristotle-esque again.

there is nothing scarier than gay power couple shane hollander and ilya rozanov than gay power couple shane hollander and ilya rozanov pulling up next to you at a stop light as they look at you with judgmental disdain and disappointment from beneath their ray-ban sunglasses

This picture made me sit up straight, fix my hair, and want to eat raw ramen

[onesidedcoma]

I am reading Aristotle and Dante dive into the waters of the world years after I finished the first book and I forgot how much I'm in my own head like Ari.

I thought I was reading and escaping my world but surprise I got trapped inside a different version of my head and now worse than I was before I started reading it.

Should I get a night light or sleep in the darkness afraid like I have not evolved out of my retro apeness?

One of the lines that stuck with me from Carrie Soto is Back

“Not really, Carrie,” he says, laughing. “But you have your tells.”

BECAUSE SHE STAYED BACK AND WAS GETTING LATE TO HER OWN MATCH TO WATCH HIS GAME. She, Carrie Soto, I don't give a fuck if it hurts shut up and get to practice, stayed back to watch his match.

So yeah I guess she does have her tells.

[onesidedcoma]

I finished Carrie Soto and I thought because The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a full life story that intertwines with many closeted people, and is a queer love story it hit me hard and the rest of Taylor Jenkins Reid's books wouldn't have such an impact on me as Evelyn Hugo did, especially after Malibu Rising.

LOL

Because what do you mean Carrie "The Bitch" Soto learns, over the course of the book, to just calm the fuck down and be happy?

And I as a reader was subjected to the world's worst emotional roller coaster because Carrie closed her heart off (thank God Brandon wasn't mentioned much in this book) and got lost in the ranking and the trophies and forgot to enjoy the game?

And ma'am WDYM she finally FINALLY opens her heart up and she has FOUR PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD rooting for her and they stay by her side when THE ENTIRE WORLD is just waiting for her to FAIL MISERABLY!!!! (I know Gloria Jones tries to support her during the commentary but cmon)!!!

When she does it, when she opens her heart up, she smiles, she wins, she smiles and then she wins again. She plays, she plays perfectly like she's enjoying it, because she's enjoying it and she wins. And when she does lose, she finally lets go and I was relieved. For her. Not because she can relax, but because she opened her heart up and there was so much love for her, from her father who's always with her even when he's not there (that little black leather book will appear in my dreams I know it), Bowe the 10/10 tantrum throwing pillow fluffing darling and Gwen agent bestfriend extraordinaire. More importantly, SHE REDISCOVERED HER LOVE FOR THE GAME AND THE GAME LOVED HER RIGHT BACK!!!

She is the greatest of all time and she loves being the greatest of all time and hates being anything else but the greatest of all time and I loved her for it. She is okay with losing out to who came after her, she's happy to coach Nicki, be there to Nicki, HELP NICKI KEEP BREAKING THE RECORD THAT SHE SO DESPERATELY WANTED TO HOLD AND I LOVE HER FOR IT!!!!

[happydivorce]

bitches will finish their first book after a six month reading slump and suddenly start believing that anything is possible mayhaps even love and joy on planet earth. it's me I'm bitches!!!!!!

Me *reading the Wimbledon final in CSIB: Princess Diana what’re you doing here?

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

I’ve read three Taylor Jenkins Reid books now, and why does Mick Riva make cameos in all her books like he’s Stan Lee or something 😭

[onesidedcoma]

I thought it was going to end with he's Satan and it made sense in my head

[swimmingintheocean]

Headcanon that Nicki's new girlfriend mentioned at the end Carrie Soto Is Back is Kit Riva

[sofikiii]

Posting the 4 of them together! Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones, Nina Riva and Carrie Soto.

My 4 best friends this year as exactly the first day of January 2022 I started reading The seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and continued reading the rest of TJR’s book as the year went on. Wanted to draw the four protagonists of her books as a thank you note, for allowing me to spend my year with her stories; but also as a goodbye, as the mini universe she created came to an end with Carrie Soto is back. Thank you for these amazing stories, starring incredible women <3

Fixation, obsession and ignorance?

Spoilers for the seven husbands of evelyn hugo

The thing I can't get over is, when they thought Celia and Evelyn were a thing, a scandal, that serves their narrative about Evelyn and their sexuality, they were all over it. Just touching her hand resulted in gossip columns about the both of them, scandal to the point they Evelyn had to sleep with a man to push those ideas out of their heads.

But when Celia dies and Evelyn has a breakdown at her funeral, bawling at Harry's grave, WHILE SHE IS BEING BURIED, they say she's crying about Harry? How are they so blind to emotional intimacy, love and connection but so blatantly explicit about the physical things?

I'm gonna go break something
