reading viral TIKTOK BOOKS to see if they’re worth it 👀 (better than the movies, binding 13…)

the foxhole court omfg. becoming part of this fandom is like being dragged into nora sakavic's basement and then getting stockholm syndrome... also found family

you managed to put it into words

Saying that as a bit of an attempt at motivation: the romance throughout the All for the Game series is the embodiment of the killer lyrics "in losing grip on sinking ships, you showed up just in time"

YES i'm so happy you liked better than the movies!!! i just ordered it and i am waiting for it to arrive so i can reread it and annotate

the love and thoughtfulness Nora Sakavic put into AftG is palpable - just continue on ☺ the build-up & pay-off in the end is everything. the Foxes reshaped my view of found families in other books (as well as the romantic relationship did) while every dialogue's unique and worth remembering because they refer and go back to past convos a lot. and it's got that early 2000s vibe which can easily feel like home, getting even stronger as the story goes on. i've just finished my nth reread of the series and still discovered new aspects and made new connections between acts, words and thoughts while having my heart broken and pieced together again. hope you'll read TRK and get attached too 🧡

[@sunnykimreads]

Omg you’re all convincing me

[@sanchezafelix508]

In the all for the game there's found family in books 2 and 3! At first I was like uhm I don't like it that much but at one point I was literally screaming and crying and loving them😂😂. I'll read better than the movies!

[@sunnykimreads]

Omg you’re convincing me

[@janeelizabeth4216]

The do over I think was just as good. It’s written by the same author Lynn painter and has the same banter. I read it in one sitting and it got me out of a reading slump.

[@sunnykimreads]

OMG RLLY

[@evanqs9352]

although nothing tops better than the movies, i just read the do over yesterday on the plane and literally finished the book as we were landing… it was so good and definitely half cured my bttm hangover

[@youngmissbarb]

my job is to convince you to read keeping 13, KEEPING 13 is literally SO much betters then binding 13, i didn’t LOVE binding 13 but keeping 13 HITTTTT TRUST ME and also SAVING 6 is everything to me

[@MinMin-kq2zn]

Well you convinced me. Can I read keeping 13 without reading binding13?

[@youngmissbarb]

@@MinMin-kq2zn ummm not really you definitely need to read binding 13 but the rest of the series is so much better binding 13 is just an introduction

Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts on the Fine Print Sunny! It's refreshing to hear a balanced perspective, and I appreciate that you've highlighted both the positives and negatives. It's great to know that I'm not alone in feeling that this book was a bit of a mixed bag. I completely agree with your three-star rating and appreciate your thoughtful critique. Keep up the great content! 🥰💖

[@sunnykimreads]

Aww thank u 💗

[@heyitsdaliiii]

All for the game is one of my favourite series even though they’re not perfect (and canonically white but ALL OF US ignore that lmao), also the found family is better shown in the next two books (wonderfully done too)! You HAVE to read them, I think you’ll really like them

[@sunnykimreads]

[@reyahh15]

i CANNOT wait for the better than the movies sequel. i literally inhaled the bonus content. (btw another amazinggg ya romance is excuse me while i ugly cry)

are the extra novellas (?) worth it? i really liked the actual book but i'm scared that the sequel(s) won't live up to it😭

[@reyahh15]

@@miiamiiaaa yes, i think so. i don’t think they even count as novellas bc they’re so short. it’s just more wesliz content. plus wes pov

Babe noooo! You have to read Keeping 13!!!!You are totally right, not a lot of character development in Binding 13 but Keeping 13 is where it is at! I know its super intimidating and a lot to read but it is so worth it. Literally not a day goes by that i dont think about the characters in these books. PLease i am begging you just give keeping 13 a chance

8:24 the name you can’t pronounce is my name 😭 (aoi makes an eeee sound in irish so aoife is pronounced ee-fa) i could not get into that book because it was SO jarring reading about irish culture and slang! secondary school is so not like how it was depicted i was so baffled! i guess this is how americans feel 😮 the obsession with rugby + GAA was accurate tho so i’ll give her that

which part did you get up to? i didn’t love binding 13 up to a certain point and the only thing keeping me going was what everyone else was saying. Looking back, after reading keeping 13 i did forget the things i didn’t love so much in binding 13 (because k13 is sooo good) which is why i hope you will finish it someday and read keeping 13!! i rate it all the stars in the universe✨

[@sunnykimreads]

AKSJDJAKA PLS -

[@youngmissbarb]

there’s a reason why the author calls shannon small she kinda explains it in saving 6

[@sunnykimreads]

hmMM

[@dianax5641]

What’s the reason??

[@lauraaa3049]

​@@dianax5641 I don't really remember it but Shannon being small is a huge part of how broken she was, she had a small frame because she didn't have healthy habits because of the abuse and the bullying. She also mentioned at one point that they starved a lot cause their parents got caught up on their own problems ( addiction and depression). At one point Joey also compares her size to her mothers cause in both, it makes them seem fragile and broken ( which they both were thanks to her father)

[@mekaelacooper_]

i know everyone loves better than the movies and i just COUDN"T get with it. the main character was legit DELUSIONAL and it was throwing me off from getting into the actual story. wes was amazing and he literally deserved better. the story was okay but i could've did less with the all the obsessions and could've had more of wes's story and his pov
