This is completely okay and should deter no one from picking this book up because I received an ARC and this will almost definitely be fixed before publication.
🧵 8/8

There were some editing mistakes, like the POV marker that shows when it is switching POVs didn't show up and I had to reread some parts and use context clues for which POV I was in. ---

The cover is gorgeous and matches the content of the book so well! I will buy a physical copy of this when it is out and I can financially. This is one of my favorite books of all time. I will also read any book that Charlene Thomas has published or will publish in the future.

--- The characters were so lovable and relatable. I love the trope of being trapped in time or time issues/travel in general. This book handled it PERFECTLY. I enjoyed watching Sydney and Marcus go on their personal journeys and explore their emotions.

I absolutely adore this book! I read this in one sitting! It is one of those books that while reading it I knew it was a five star read and that it would stay with me forever. Multiple times while reading this it made me cry, which is rare for me. ---

ARC review for 'It's You Every Time' by Charlene Thomas. Coming out on May 6th, 2025.

Review below in threads

-- This book was thought-provoking, something fresh that I didn't know I wanted until I had it, and it was overall very exciting.
🧵 7/7

I love how the figurative speech of eating the rich is used both in the sense of beating them at their own game and cannibalism. This whole book is really timely to everything that is happening in the United States. --

-- I adore how the Haitian culture and folklore mixed into the story; I learned so much and can't wait to research more into it. The microaggressions really pissed me off. I hate how enduring that is a part of so many people's day-to-day lives.
🧵 5/?

This book focuses on the folklore of Haitian zombies, racial inequality, colonization, the American healthcare system, and economic inequality. I love the writing style; I love getting Brielle's point of view mixed with conversations from her sisters. --

-- What better way to make the rich pay for what they do than to make them into cannibals without their knowledge?
🧵 3/?

A Haitian-American teen girl uses her zonbi, zombie, abilities to make it even with the people who constantly screw her, her mother, and everyone else over. Brielle is a skilled cook; cooking is her passion, but it isn't sustainable with her mother's medical bills and rent. --

-- Change your life. Synchronize your emotions with those of hundreds of other readers spread across space and time, absorbing the very same words,but who will view them through the lenses of their own unique experiences — so that, in a way nobody reads exactly the same book, --

My favorite quote is "You stare at the squiggles and forget where you are. They make you fall in love with people who don't exist, they make you livid, they bring you to tears. They disappoint you, make your pulse sprint, make you swear you'll never try that genre again. --

I loved and highlighted a lot of quotes from this book, but my favorite quote is below and will probably be separated into many pieces of this thread.

-- I loved how distinct each character was, even the side characters felt fleshed out.

I will probably reread this during the fall because it is perfectly cozy and magical. The way everything was described gave me the perfect picture of how everything would look.
🧵 6/?

--- It read like a standalone, and I hope I learn more when I go back and read the first book in the series. This book was hilarious and had some amazing quotes. I loved how writing was tied into magic. It gave me a new appreciation for something I already loved. --
🧵 5/?

I really enjoyed how scattered the story was, it really fit with both of the main characters. This book made me fall in love with the world, and I want to know more. I want to read both the book before this and any that come after. ---

---- Zelda is a writer of series with paranormal settings and characters. She has been in a writing slump and hasn't been able to write anything. Morgan is a firm believer in anything paranormal. He is also a total himbo most of the time.
🧵 3/?

The Folklore of Forever is a paranormal/magical realism slow-burn rivals-to-lovers romance. Zelda is a paranormal skeptic, despite the fact she grew up in a family and town filled with people who believe in magic, witches, and anything paranormal. ----

Publishing date is 4/8/25. Arc review for 'The Folklore of Forever' by Sarah Hogle. 🧵

I think the blurb saying it is like Holly Jackson's books is a fair comparison because at some points this book reminded me of both 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' by Holly Jackson and 'Sadie' by Courtney Summer.

I adored the diversity in this book. For example, Billie is a Jewish bisexual.

--- She could've sworn it wasn't before. Now she has to clear her name.

I think this YA murder mystery was so well done. I love the literary device of mixing present moments and video essays.

I think the pacing was off in the beginning, it got better as the book went on.
