BR with my MacHalo Freaks Shelly & Jaime starting next week. No wait. Make that yesterday (view spoiler)[sorry dear Freaks, we just can't wait for you. Have. To. Read. This. (hide spoiler)].



See this girl right there ↑↑↑? This is the fangirl in me right now. And you should consider your dear little selves blessed by Mother Mary of Anabolic Grace at the moment. You know, roll over, thank your lucky stars and all that. Because given this poor fangirl's pitiful state, you won't be getting the OMG-this-is-awesome, 2-hour long version of this review (view spoiler)[oh please show some consideration and turn the cheering down a notch will you? Thank you. (hide spoiler)]. 

No. I will not go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how amazing-fantastic-exhausting-nerve racking-brilliant-exasperating-awesome-maddening-astonishing-heart stopping-stressful-infuriating-astonishing-sad-funny-exciting Wanderlust is. No I won't. Now rejoice.



Oh I had this review all planned in my little head when I started reading this book: drink too much alcohol coffee, unleash the fangirl in me, let the crazy out… I took 20 pages of notes while I was reading, highlighted like a maniac… Same old same old. Ha! The problem is, I'm spent right now. Exhausted. A nervous wreck. Pretty scary to look at. I don't think my own mother would recognize me at this point. And I don't care if this is the least informative review in the history of uninformative reviews. If you want to know what this book is about you will just have to read it. Muahahahaha you know where this is going don't you? No? So happy to refresh your memory: Because YES you are going to read this book. Whether you want to or not. And you are going to give this book a 5-star rating. Because I said so. It's not like you have a choice or anything. Whoever said this was a democracy?



Okay, I guess I'm supposed to say something about the book right? Besides the fact that it's amazing-fantastic-exhausting-nerve racking-brilliant-exasperating-awesome-maddening-astonishing STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT! OMG someone let the crazy fangirl out! Quick! Put her away before it's too late and GR membership starts plummeting again! Sorry about that, I thought she was too exhausted to make an appearance but I guess I greatly underestimated this series' effect on her. So, where were we? Oh yes, I was supposed to tell you something about the book. Right.

Well it looks like  it really is your lucky day because I'm actually about to tell you several things about the book (view spoiler)[wow, don't you feel special now? (hide spoiler)]:

① Book 1 was pure fun. This one is pure angst. Well, it has its funny moments and great dialogues but the mood isn't as light as in Grimspace. Haha this is probably the understatement of the year right there. Wanderlust is much darker, sometimes enraging, many times heart-breaking, always exciting and stressful as hell. Just how I like it.

② Jax is a freaking mess. And I still love her. No matter what. Don't listen to the party poopers (view spoiler)[ 

 (hide spoiler)] <-- don't be scared people, this isn't really a spoiler <-- you should know by now that my spoilers are usually non-spoilerish <-- unless I add a spoiler tag to warn you that the spoiler tag you are about to click on is potentially spoilerish <-- still with me? Good. 



③ March is no comment. Because reasons.

④ The Awesome Crew is still awesome. Now much improved! With new awesome characters! Dina! Vel! Jael! Hit! Constance! Hahaha Constance!

⑤ Jax is a freaking mess. And I still love her. No matter what <-- YES, I know this was awesome fact # ②. (view spoiler)[And your point is? (hide spoiler)]

  “I am the fucking butterfly, causing ripples everywhere I go.”
