i did not realize this counted as a real book on goodreads... this feels slightly like cheating, but whatever.

[Zimmy W · Rating 5 out of 5]

The way I'm so obsessed with the Oseman-verse, I'm reading a short story for a book I haven't read yet.

[stéphani ☼ · Rating 3 out of 5]

eu prometi que ia esperar pra ler esse aqui mas eu amo tanto o lister 😭😭😭 eu tava com mais saudade dele do que imaginava então PRECISAVA dessa última dose de serotonina Dele. como pode ele ser o maior do mundo inteiro o ÚNICO personagem possível. (ok, único de 3).

a relação bicci é meu mais absoluto TUDO. o lister toda hora indo ver como o jimmy tava porque sabia que o bake off tava sendo estressante pra ele e tentando todo momento aliviar a tensão do jimmy :( e o jimmy todo sem graça sempre falando fuck off pro lister envergonhado :( amoressssssss

não mas o rowan completamente empenhado com o bake off kkkkkk que saco eu amo demais ele!!!! o lister chamando ele de Dad aff a relação deles é a coisa mais linda do mundo :( eu amo demais o rowan sério. o jeito que ele se preocupa com os meninos e ama eles. e ele chamando o lister de allister always gets me fkdjdk preciosos demais!!!!

eu amo tanto tanto o the ark :( só de pensar que a alice tá escrevendo o roteiro da s2 de heartstopper e a sequência de iwbft tá cada vez mais longe… meu deus que DOR…

this really feels like cheating but i actually don't give a single fuck lmao WHY DO I LOVE AND RELATE TO LISTER SO MUCH

[Bijuri · Rating 4 out of 5]

You can tell how much Alice Oseman loves these characters and it really makes the short stories feel real

[Louisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved getting just a little bit more time, it was so great to read!

[Alya · Rating 4 out of 5]

This feels like cheating on my Goodreads goal, but I lowkey don’t have it in me to care. This is a crossover I never expected… and that ended up being an excellent thing.

[Rosey McClelland · Rating 5 out of 5]

just a cute little bakeoff novella but i genuinely loved it. giggled a bunch (maybe i just really like bake off and the alice oseman universe)

[Sofi · Rating 5 out of 5]
