A Million To One
sapphic historical YA about four girls - a thief, artist, acrobat, and actress- pulling a heist on the titanic to steal a rare jewel-encrusted book
#A Million To One#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#I think this is pretty good#i kinda sped read it#the way that if the titanic was not a known thing the whole sinking bit would be Such a random plot twist sdkfgs#it's a little weird on the like. black girl is rich and has a white father so everyone is so surprised at the concept that she might face#racism. or even she's called privileged over the others without addressing that sometimes#anyway it's a short fast book; but probably exactly what you expect it to be like

A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar A thief. An artist. A acrobat. An actress. While Josefa, Emilie, Hinnah, and Violet seemingly don’t have anything in common, they’re united in one goal: stealing the Rubaiyat, a jewel-encrusted book aboard the RMS Titanic that just might be the golden ticket to solving their problems.

Paul and the Cheese Drama Pt. 1 of 5
In some ways, you could say that Tonight You Belong to Me represents the beginning of what I call the cheese in Paul's voice, and in his songwriting. Aside from the fact that I consider this song to be one of his best, I really think there couldn't possibly be more schmaltz, pathos, or cheese in the verses. But hey, if you want to get to the sweet fruit, you have to bite through the indigestible shell first, don't you? Ok. Then we better get started, but I warn you, it remains only with the shell in this case. I imagine Paul standing in front of the woman from the song we're talking about here. Of course, with one hand on his heart and the other gesticulating like a suffering poet trying to explain himself, and really hitting the shit out of it. After all, this lady is supposed to be his for the night, no matter how things look for both of them during the day. That would make him pretty much the nemesis of any married man, or at least of any man in a relationship.
2.5 out of 5 cheese points.
Just press play and let this cheese fly around your ears:
Tonight You Belong to Me (1978)
youtube
Let's move on to defendant number two. Also a fan favorite and coincidentally yet again not one of his worst songs, which I learned to appreciate quite late: A Million to One. The reason for the delayed appreciation? The cheese, the schmaltz and the over-the-top pathos in the verses. That comes along in this case with some extra Bayyy-beah's in the form of fistfuls of gluey sugar-honey syrup drops poured viscously on top of the cheese. I tell you, no matter how good it is with the health of the listener of these lines, after that one would be better served with a proper dose of insulin. But that is by no means the only thing they have in common. If the verses of these two songs were to visit the same club separately, you can bet they would be permanently confused with each other. You don't believe that? Listen to it yourself!
3 out of 5 cheese points.
Just press cheese and let the play fly around your ears:
A Million to One (1983)

JOMP BPC - Feb 27th - Freebie
I realised today after buying A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar that I'm developing quite the collection of YA novels set on the Titanic 👀 Fateful by Claudia Gray is the only one I've read so far -- it was a wonderful paranormal historical drama. I'll have to get to A Million to One and Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee soon

January 2023 📚
• I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

This is one of my favorite books of all time, as you can tell from my URL! It's so charming in every aspect, from the small town setting to the great characters to each of their individual dynamics. It's so delightfully queer and unique that I found it impossible not to love it. It did lose me a bit at the end, but it's far from enough to ruin the experience. 4,5/5.
• Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

It wasn't as magical as it was when I first read it, but it's still everything it sets out to be: a larger-than-life rom-com that paints a beautiful picture for queer people. However, the characters didn't strike me as deeply as in the author's other works, but that's not to say it's bad! Just a bit overrated in comparison to its siblings. 3,75/5.
• Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria

This book was a bit more... dragged than I expected, if that's the right word. Its characters had an odd sense of charisma that wasn't quite there but wasn't lacking either. As for the world, I found it very fun and compelling. The mystery was good, and I liked the aspect of never knowing who to trust — even the protagonists, either because of memory magic or because they're hiding something from the reader. 3,75/5.
• Adrift in Starlight by Mindi Briar

Despite the interplanetary sci-fi setting, this book had a sense of reality so enthralling it was almost as if I was there. I especially liked its handling of Aisha's asexuality and Tai's gender identity, despite those not being the main focus. The romance was sweet and the characters fun, and though not the most memorable book of the month, I'm still glad I read it. 4/5.
• A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar

I was hoping to really, really fall in love with the cast — and I did to some extent, but I was sad that some relationships were not explored to their full potential. It is a stand-alone, though, and I think it serves its purpose well: each main girl has a compelling backstory and a motive to be here, and the main romance was very good. Despite knowing what happens on the Titanic, the ending was still heartbreaking. No further spoilers though! 4/5.
• Rumores da Cidade by Lucas Rocha

Hey, a brazilian book! Again, I don't know what it is with small towns but they are always so compelling to read about. The author's description of it and the colorful characters that live there make the atmosphere very realistic, like I could be friends with these people! It's the sort of book that gives you hope for the future, y'know? 4,25/5.
• Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare

I don't know how popular this opinion is, but this was definitely my favorite one out of the trilogy. Even the characters I used to hate are actually likeable now, but that's part of a bigger problem: many events and character traits that should've been a big deal were mostly cast aside, and it creates a big feeling of disconnect with the previous installments. The world and magic system are nothing worth noting if you're familiar with the author. 3,5/5.
