Best day ever

[@clairewattie]

Rachel, I totally understand the spiralling and anxiety… been there many times… even if you think people “hate” you, your book community loves you SO much! Side note: Your reactions through OUABH were literally me too, lots of “I’m confused…what happened”, “oh I didn’t expect that!” Thanks for yet another fun video x❤

[@racheledang]

Your reaction to the last 80 pages of tbona was the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen on the internet 😭 oct 24th cannot come fast enough

[@kansxlibrary]

its THE day!!!!! once upon a broken heart girlies are screaming omg (i'm girlies)

[@Angel_Dust110]

I just started it today and so far I’m loving it!!

[@ellarose.readss]

‘I don’t spoil things… unlike some people’ YES😭

[@kalaniherndon1191]

I loved Jacks since Legendary. I was always rooting for him, but I love him even more in this series. I can’t wait till October!

[@gabs392]

SAME!

[@BriLee0]

Same!! I’m sad so many ppl skipping Caraval and going straight to this because we learn so much and meet him in the Caraval series so it’s even more emotional 😭

[@lilpopism]

I didn’t root for him in legendary and finale, he was very different in Caraval trilogy to ouabh but finale made sense to how he is in ouabh

[@paigemcarrow]

aw rachel i totally understand where you’re coming from with the anxiety and overthinking. thank you for being so comfortable sharing that with us, it’s very validating to see someone you look up to struggling with the same things. i hope it gets a better for you ❤️

[@lemonade4112]

the caraval trilogy gives a lot more information on jacks and his back story! he appears in the 2nd and 3rd book- i personally think it made OUABH a lot less random

[@BriLee0]

Yes!!! Please ppl read the Caraval series first or you will spoil some info also the ride will be so much more emotional and easier to get into the world.

[@reganlol]

Yes 110%!!! I can’t imagine reading OUABH without having read caraval beforehand. Jacks is just so much more complex and understandable having read that trilogy beforehand it makes the reading experience of OUABH so much better! I feel like people who skip the first trilogy have no idea what they’re missing out on!

[@manonvo8615]

But the plot of ouabh seems more interesting to me than caraval

[@reganlol]

@@manonvo8615 yeah it defo is, like i don’t think it’s essential to read that trilogy to understand OUABH. just in terms of jacks character I appreciate having met him in the caraval trilogy beforehand

[@iammellbell]

The most relatable thing ever when you said you wish you could read faster bc you just need all the information now but don't have the patience to read at your normal pace 😅

[@silviaamaral497]

When you threw the book on the table AHAHAH yes, that is the feeling! Also, the apples! I'm hoping she explains them in the last book because I've been wondering about them since the Caraval trilogy! This is possibly spoilers so anyone who hasnt read the books, stop reading this comment. I saw a theory saying that they helped when he was feeling feelings for her (and previously for Donatella) and that kind of makes sense! I'm glad you liked it, now you can be part of the waiting for the third book and suffering club ❤

[@c22d22]

Yes! I saw that theory too! And obviously the last kiss is for her to kiss him 😏

[@Shrutibagga1985]

Literally ALL the book girlies posted AMAZING content!! And once upon a Brocken heart??!! Thank you Rachel for gracing us with this video :)💗💗

But didn’t she give a spoiler when she said she did spoil it for herself 😅

[@tee1209]

I've not read the Once Upon a Broken Heart series yet and naturally that means that I have no clue what you are reacting to when reading the ending for the second book but I was THOROUGHLY obsessed and invested in your "*gasp* no... no no no no. no no no no" (and rinse and repeat). That alone single-handedly made me want to read the series! 🤣💕

[@TheBookDragon548]

You should do a readathon with your friends and film it! I love seeing your squad all together and it's so cool that you're all into reading!

[@MallyYang]

Lol your reaction to the last 100 pages of The Ballad of Never After is all of us reading any good fantasy rom. book! Also this series is on my tbr and from watching your reading vlog i’ll wait until the third book comes out. 🤣🤭

[@BriLee0]

If you haven’t read the Caraval series I recommend reading it before OUABH to meet Jacks and learn that story before you learn of the aftermath in this series🩵🍎

[@straverry_tae]

the book girlies all posting today has made my day!!✨

[@slimebykenzieg6991]

Oh my gosh! I love the once upon a broken heart series and 24 hour readathons!

Yep definitely a good day!! And I love your 24 hour readathons!!

[@meganmaltbey6715]

Omg I relate so hard to the spiraling thoughts about people hating you! It happens to me all the time and usually people tell me I’m making it up and I’m crazy. I feels nice to know other people experience the same thing. You’re not alone!

[@RYLEECLARK2007]

Ahhh I feel you. I’m reading the 3rd book in the Caraval series right now and I want an answer about why jacks always eat apples!

[@catherinefinnie3131]

Thank you for being so open about how you were feeling. It’s totally made me feel SO much better knowing someone else is going through it too. So much love and thank you for all that you do for your book community!! ❤️

[@thelifeofabi2338]

If you love slow burn try a mariana zapata book! Those books are barely even a burn and you get half crumbs throughout the whole book

Reading the Caraval trilogy before I found gave a lot more insight into the fates including jacks and his background

[@caiti_mace]

THANK YOU FOR FINALLY READING IT my fav read of this year

[@kirstenfirth6759]

Honestly, the throwing of the book was so accurate, that's exactly what I did and I have been waiting so long for book 3!!

[@elissajohnson23]

I gave once upon a broken heart 1 stars because it just didn’t feel interesting to me but PLEASE read the Caraval trilogy because those books are so good. The writing, the characters, and everything else. And FINALE….!! Please read Caraval😄

[@chloehusband27]

you have definitely convinced me to read the ballad of never after, i wasn’t planning too cause i didn’t love the first book but now im convinced

[@KassandraVirgen]

Okay you’ve convinced me. im buying this series and reading it asap idc

[@Lizzy_Garfield]

IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED TBONA😭😭 your reactions were literally me not even joking. Jacks is literally my favorite you NEED to pick up the caraval trilogy bc jacks is in it and you just appreciate his story even more!!!

[@amberlightss]

After finishing the Ballad of Never After back in (I think) February, I think about it weekly if not daily at times, so I understand the frustration!! Thankfully the third book comes out this month!

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

The ending of Ballad of Never After is pain. I've been dying. I'm going to B&N on the day it comes out, get me a copy of A Curse for True Love, & read it.

[@melissaferreira9487]

thank you for sharing your spiraling thoughts. Cause i felt the exact way today and it was just so settling to hear that i’m not alone with those thoughts and we all go through phases. God bless you! kisses💗

[@Itzharriet]

Your videos are so comforting as well as your voice thanks so much for posting ❤

[@ridiculous.reader]

When I re-read the First book of once upon a broken heart series I changed my rating to five star because I realized so many small little details which were clues I missed

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video Rachel!😸

[@ClaireNamo]

Have you read the Caraval Trilogy? That’s where you get Jacks’ introduction :)

[@mirandajones2271]

You got me all worked up again about the end of Ballad of Never After! Welcome to pain 😅

[@manonvo8615]

I was planning on starting OUABH today, so I'm going to wait to watch this until after I read it so I can have little guesses about what you're reacting too. I know you don't do spoilers but I want to find out my own reactions before I see yours

[@llumpiah]

watching rachel's reading vlog always puts me on the biggest reading mood❤❤❤❤

[@caitlinthye]

This was literally me Reading the once upon a heart series !! I read it in June and still think about it all the time and need the last book so badly

[@TheMooresDaily]

Had the exact same reaction to these books!!!

[@ambercastleberry9879]

Loved this! I have been waiting to start once upon a broken heart until the last book comes out so after watching this I’m definitely gonna wait one more month haha. You should read An Ember in the Ashes if you are looking for a new fantasy series!

[@lomesiaallen473]

I think I literally screamed reading the end of the Ballad of Never After I was UNWELL. I'm super excited for the third book and curious how the author is going to redeem herself for that ending.

[@TheLucyannaVIP]

This is why always try to wait till whole series is finished so can binge read. Once upon a broken heart I’m waiting till just before 3rd book is out October so can star-finish the series. PS your reactions made me even more excited to read it

[@oumaimaaymane9873]

Not me who got obsessed with Jacks since legendary, but still i didn't read once upon broken heart yet.

[@BriLee0]

Your obsession will grow so much more 😂🍎

[@ruthm8094]

Once Upon A Broken Heart!!!!! Haven't finished the video but I'm praying it's a 5 star read.

[@rubymoon1487]

I loved your reactions! 😂 Ballad of Never After definitely put me in a huge book hangover. I only read it a few months back but that still feels like a long wait! Only 4 more weeks to go 💖🍎

[@abigailhaller1091]

can you do a "no spice book recommendations" video???

[@lilpopism]

If you haven’t done so read the Caraval series. It’s not exactly the same and it’s very much early Stephanie garber but it gives more background to the world for the magic used. Also tbona lives rent free in my head. Trying to get my mum to read it. Edit: “little fox” made my heart jump everytime. Last 50 pages of tbona hurt. Btw if you read finale in the Caraval series it hurts have tissues

[@katsarah6046]

Aaaa finally! Once upon a broken heart! Sorry not sorry for recommending ahaha. Now you should read caraval there’s a lot of jacks (backstory?) and it’s also the fantasy sort of vibe 🥹

[@alenamelinevogel7163]

Same! Like 4 books of Jacks and his apples 🍎 Stephanie better explain that in the last book 😂

Hi Rachel! This verse helps me when I’m having anxious thoughts: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 💜

[@phoebelize417]

I'm reading through the Caraval trilogy, and Jacks is in the second and third book. I can not tell you how many times I've thought to myself, "What is the point of the apples?" It just feels like there's got to be a reason for them.

[@anapma]

So if I haven’t read but want to read both divine rivals and OUABH, if i read divine rivals first am I inevitably going to spoil OUABH for myself? I don’t know anything about either one and don’t want to get spoiled so wondering which one I should read first
