David being subtly jealous is one of my favourite things in the Truly Devious books!
Homeboy came running as soon as he saw his girl dancing with someone else😭

Of all the bad things harry Potter caused including Casincest Clare's career, my immortal, Harry Potter adults, Snape fans, more transphobia and the agonizing death of children's literature
I think one of the worst was the romanticization of fucking boarding schools
Those are the birth place of modern bullying, ridden with all kinds of abuses, they were largely used for the cleansing of ethnic groups and to this day they are still elitist hellholes who incubate the worse kind of stupid posh lords on Britain that will spend the rest of their lives doing bullshit traditional rituals and fucking people's rights
And Rowling looked at this crap and thought, but what if it was good ? No what if it was an great place
She literally had to make the dursleys an inch above sadistic monsters so the wizarding world won't look like the fascist nightmare it was, and the idea of being in this place wouldn't look bleak and horrible.
And now we have an entire generation who think the place rich people throw the heirs they don't want to raise is an aspirational dream

A brand new boarding school had popped up. Bring your little delquints in, and it promises to make them model citizens when they leave. They'll be a whole new person.

Poe Party came out the year I was in art school, and I fell heavily in love with ravens and other corvids cause I was drawing/painting taxidermy ravens a lot. I now wonder how different my life back then would have been if I had known the series existed
Am a little sad, ngl, I definitely would have made it my whole personality (As if antisocial Poe isn't my personality now)

Does anyone have similar book recommendations to 'Truly Devious' by Maureen Johnson?
I love that series with my whole being and I want books with similar themes/characters/plots?

Hey Darlin’!❤️✨
Y’all are so sweet taking an interest in my grad school journey. It’s going good! My backup school wants to do an interview and private (family) tour with me in a couple of weeks. This is a good thing! I’m very excited!

almost said something stupid in the vein of “i never would have survived boarding school because i would die having to share a bedroom” and then i remembered i did share a bedroom freshman year of college. i literally forgot that happened to be honest that seems like someone else’s life… anyway all this to say. i’m sharing a room with my sister right now and it is nigh unbearable. hence the 2am blogging
