ᝰ.ᐟ ⊹ arc review thank you to netgalley + simon and schuster for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review

THOUGHTS ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° . [minor spoilers]

ok. i put this review off for a couple days cause i knew this was gonna be harder to write because i love lynn painter books, really. buuttt i was horribly disappointed with this one. i'm the biggest wesliz fan but... like yeah i cant even form coherent thoughts about it. like this was unnecessary there was no point in shattering their relationship to write this.

like it was good to see wes's pov and everything but it felt so... idk yeah. (see im still struggling so bad to find words.)

one thing i would formally like to invite lynn to STOP doing though is shoving every taylor/ pop culture reference on the planet into the book. like holy shit woman. i few is okay BUT NOT THAT MANY COME ON!!!! they were in the middle of a fucking argument and wes is quoting illicit affairs or some bullshit. usually i love finding little references on page but this felt like too much.

i feel like she's whipped out her computer and gone straight to some dog fanpage or just plainly scrolled through edits seeing people saying "this song is so wesliz coded" and shoved those songs into the book. there is an on page reference to in between reference saying its their montage song.

also um this shit: ”little liz can’t come to the phone right now. why? oh. because she’s dead.” and somehow when jack antonoff was randomly brought up??? like some people are good at weaving taylor swift lyrics into books. lynn you are not.

also lynn take this a plea to never use the word "growl" or "growled" in a sentence ever again when describing your male characters. and to never write this sentence “she’s one of the guys you know? she’s just… different,” EVER AGAIN. PLEASE.

WHAT I DID LIKE THO WAS THE TINY TINY CRUMBS OF BAILEYCHARLIE AND NICKEMELIE (even tho nick was only mentioned and i dont think emelie was even there but eh)

CHARACTERS ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° .

liz - ok so weirdly enough she was the most tolerable and still intolerable at the same time. like she was so different from the liz in bttm the sunshiney, wearing dresses of all different colours and her love of romcoms. she was described as anti-love and was practically a full on different character seriously. if you liked the first book maybe dont have high expectations for nltm. like i do understand she had her heart broken and so obviously that makes sense for some of the change but it had been two years and as liz likes to say SO FUCKING MUCH "she's moved on, she's moved past it, its in the past" well for someone who's moved on you sure like to avoid the past a lot. also idk who tf she was trying to fool with that whole "i don't like wes, im over him." shit like gurl- you were literally kissing 2.5 seconds ago whats with the switching sides. and there was SO much about her leaving "little liz" behind. like what was so wrong with liking flowers and romcoms? and being a hopeless romantic and wearing bright colours?

wes - okay so it was quiet heartbreaking to hear abt wes's side of this book (except for the whole pursuing liz part) and i did feel sorry for him. but like what happened to the sweet, caring wes in the first book. and tell me why i had to read THIS sentence “climb on me like a good girl,” LIKE MY EYES LYNN WTF????? i did not sign up for this wes, like no stop telling me how obsessed you are with liz's lips or how she's a mythological sex goddess- boy sit ur ass down. and don't even get me started on the beginning of the book. WHAT WAS THAT SHIT? why was wes acting like a 7yr old excited for school and talking (so much) abt his love for scootering? SCOOTERING. LYNN PAINTER WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL? SCOOTERING. DO YOU HAVE SOME OBSESSION WITH THEM OR SOMETHING? WHY DID THOSE DUMB THINGS KEEP SHOWING UP?? like tell me why i needed to read this shit: "i fucking loved the scooters ..... wes + scooters = HEA" ..... lynn.

QUOTES ° ᡣ𐭩 . ° .

im not going to bother to find any of these, see: im too lazy

all in all i still liked some points when both of them were acting normal. which is why its a 3. but i feel like this is leaning towards a hate review but yeah idk i cant actually pin point parts that i remember liking- also the ending??? what was that? it made no sense to me.

[dancefloors]

rank the folklore songs in terms of insanity

okay i already wrote this out once and tumblr refreshed and deleted so. im gonna keep it brief. also more about unhingedness than insanity

the 1: sings about updating an ex while in a loving relationship. it couldve been you. chosen family mention. might’ve actually caused a divorce with this one

peace: no explanation needed. fucking fire sign

seven: “or hide in the closet” 😐

betty: already crazy and gay as fuck for her to write this with her 17yo self’s style but for her to then reveal her silent boyfriend casually wrote chorus for this one out of nowhere.. filed under Joe Alwyn GLAAD award campaign material

cardigan: seems mellow but she decides to follow “Peter Losing Wendy” (which is already a crazy metaphor with 1000 layers that reflect on not only the narrative at hand but herself) with “leaving like a father”. the best day/mine found dead in miami

illicit affairs: not only did she go thesaurus.com on this bitch but she said things like it DIES and it DIES and it DIES, and a drug that only worked the first few hundred times, and dont call me kid dont call me baby, and you’ll be flushed when you return, and-

hoax: just simply the fact that its “your faithless love’s the only hoax I believe in” instead of BELIEVED in. taylor you are not seeing heaven

the lakes: can seem a bit try-hard but the self awareness and parallels to virginia woolf/ophelia and taylors CHOICE to survive as a writer. batshit darkcademia. 

this is me trying: definitely intense just not wildly unhinged. makes me feel less cRaZy and more 'i need to die immediately'

august: jack antonoff fanfiction

my tears ricochet: stolen lullabies!!!!!!! leans more towards depressioncore though

mad woman: actually not That mad. feels like pointed anger and less ‘lashing out’. i appreciate how the whole song is a direct threat upon scooter braun’s life though

exile: crazy behaviour to write a breakup song with ur literal boyfriend. other than that its fun

mirrorball: heavy topic but actually feels kind of sweet, a little dreamy... dont want to rip my hair out when i hear this. bar the bridge

ephiphany: i dont experience any thoughts when i hear this song

the last great american dynasty: all fine but “then it was bought by me” definitely makes me want to bite my hand off

invisible string: “now i send their babies presents” closes our 12 year joe jonas narrative. exhale. other than that this song is free therapy

[indigogirled]

BETSYYYY how is ur night going dear??? question(s) for you what are three songs you’d want niall to cover and three artists you’d like to see him work with 👀 also any clothes you’d like to see the man in. hope you’re well!!!!!! 💘

HELLO!!!! you just opened a giant can of worms with that clothing ask!!! I LOVE FASHION AND I LOVE NIALL!!

okay, first we have 1990's keanu & river phoenix, which are some of my all time favorite people to get outfit inspiration from. everything they wore kind of summed up what was popular for menswear at the time, and i love it so much because the 80s & 90s were very masculine times for men but with clothes that would suggest otherwise. i feel like niall would rock that yellow sweater and the doc martens

next we have.......THE EXPOSED ANKLE!!!! my favorite!!!! frank ocean and andy worhal are two great people to gain fashion inspiration from. basically this is coming from me wanting to see niall's exposed ankle (pls) and some shorter pants 😁😁😁 i feel like i'm very victorian rn. we also have henry golding who dresses almost exactly like niall but i really like the suit coat. maybe a blue instead of a yellow on niall? PLS!

also anything shah rukh khan wore in the 90s. i have such a crush on that man and his style

________________________

three songs i'd like niall to cover?

1. chinatown by bleachers. literally my favorite song ever. SO GOOD and niall likes bruce springsteen so he would like this.

2. dear john by taylor swift. no pronoun changes. just as it is :)))))))

3. buzzcut season by lorde. I PROMISE I LIKE OTHER MUSIC THAN JUST STUFF ASSOCIATED WITH JACK ANTONOFF BUT PLS. it would be so good with his guitar and acoustic!

_______________________

three people i'd want niall to work with??

1. taylor swift (obviously)

2. maggie rogers

3. idc if he's dead i want niall to do a song with elliot smith it would be so sad and i would cry a lot but it would be worth it

Fresh from her bohemian turn on last year's Lust for Life, Ur Venice Bitch Lana Del Rey is in gloriously moody form with her latest track, ‘Mariners Apartment Complex.'

With help from producer Jack Antonoff, the singer returns to torch songs of old, replete with familiar Del Rey motifs of religion and heartbreak as she croons 'You lose your way, just take my hand/You’re lost at sea, then I’ll command your boat to me again/Don’t look too far, right where you are, that’s where I am/I'm your man/I'm your man' in a dusky, weathered ode to doomed romance.

Del Rey told BBC Radio 1 about the track (via Genius):

‘The song is about this time I took a walk late at night with a guy I was seeing, and we stopped in front his friend’s apartment complex, and he put his hand around my shoulder, and he said “I think we are together because we’re both similar, like we’re both really messed up” and I thought it was the saddest thing I’d ever heard. And I said, “I’m not sad, I didn’t know that’s why you thought you were relating to me on that level, I’m actually doing pretty good”. And he was upset, and that’s when I wrote the song. I thought, I had to do so many times, where you know like I had to sort of step on that role where I was showing the way and I was sort of being the brighter light. But that’s why it’s so cool that you’re playing it. ‘Cause I thought that I’d just put it out and it would be one of those things that I’d put out just to have there for myself, but it’s cool being able to share it with people too.‘

The song is also rumoured to reference Del Rey's contentious 2014 interview with The Guardian, where she was quoted as saying. ‘I wish I was dead already,’ but later claimed she was taken out of context. 

'Mariners Apartment Complex' is from Lana Del Rey's upcoming sixth* album, out 2019. Read the review for Lust For Life here.
