Any Way the Wind Blows by Rainbow Rowell

definetlynotmaggy's review against another edition

Hated it. I know again why I don’t read romance. Full of empty plot devices to get characters to be together

spoilers and also ✨ audiobook✨
my three thoughts:
1. *agatha looking at Niamh’s** haircut* something lgbtq just happened to me
2. the scene with simon on the filed with the goats and Baz just totally head over heels for him #1 fave scene
3. #2 fave scene is the montage leading up to penny and shepard’s kiss AHHHH
** listening to the audiobooks only I though her name was neeve AHHHH

something about simon and baz’s relationship was so familiar to me, and it was my favorite part by far. simon felt like a refreshing change regarding the way characters experiencing depression are written, and depictions of queerness felt kind and intentional. the rest of the book was slower and less interesting to me (re: penny and agatha).
