So imma just make a thread to tweet my thoughts on Moth To A Flame because I feel like I’m going to have many lol. Even if no one replies/likes/has read this book, I just gotta put my thoughts out into the world. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼️" title="Double exclamation mark" aria-label="Emoji: Double exclamation mark">Spoilers past this point https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📖" title="Open book" aria-label="Emoji: Open book">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼️" title="Double exclamation mark" aria-label="Emoji: Double exclamation mark">
Chapters 1-7: Okay, so far in this book I’m looking at everybody’s actions like https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤨" title="Face with raised eyebrow" aria-label="Emoji: Face with raised eyebrow">whyyyy. I know Raven is a teen so SOMETIMES her actions get a pass. I just wish she wasn’t as shallow and I want her to have just a tad bit more common sense https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">
Now Mama Justine, you suppose to know the game; why you invite a (grown) man you don’t know to a close knit birthday party to hang with your teenage daughter?? (17 is 17–my mama would’ve been like hell nah) Maybe it was a nostalgia thing, but it wasn’t too smart.
I really wish Benjamin would’ve just went ahead & killed Mizan, but I guess then there would be no book lol
I’m liking Ethic so far. He’s about the only one I haven’t shook my head at.

I don’t know too much about Nikki yet, but she seems okay.
Okay so specifically chapter 7: How you gone rob your own house https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">

Well Mizan already ain’t shit in so many other ways so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
Ch.8:
Mizan acting like he took a Will Smith masterclass with these fake tears https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">

Raven still using cocaine with a whole baby in her stomach https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">

....annddddd everything goes further downhill. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">

This book knows how to keep you going
Ch. 9
Dear Raven,
If you don’t know already...
Maybe I’m expecting too much from Justine but it seems like she would be more protective of Raven.

And I’m not saying she’s not at all—especially since she threatened to never forgive Benjamin if something happened to her—but idk.

I’m not a mother though so lemme just https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤐" title="Zipper-mouth face" aria-label="Emoji: Zipper-mouth face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (medium skin tone)">
Mizan’s crazy ass in Ch.9-10 (scratch that, let’s just say from the beginning to the end that I haven’t even read yet) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Face with rolling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Face with rolling eyes">:
I genuinely appreciate the fact that Ethic ain’t feeling Raven lmao. *at least not at this moment*
So before I fall asleep—

The anticipation of what’s supposed to happen in ch 10 is good. But it kinda fell flat at the end? Mainly because I spotted at least 2 unrealistic things—and I’m not even that person to point out “unrealistic things” in a fiction book but I digress.
WHEW.
Phase 1 felt like 5 years itself with everything that happened. I can’t even imagine what’ll be next.
Ch. 12-
So initially I was thinking “Why Nikki going to the club with the same dudes who shot her??” But then it dawned on me...

The reader is the only one who knows who shot her https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)">
PAUSE-

Now the dude that shot her is trying to flirt with her.
Ch.13
The narrator and/or Raven has no filter for Ethic’s face https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face"> but at the same time, Raven is all about looks so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised
Ethic: She helps take care of my little girl—

Both me and Raven:
I just realized I didn’t finish this thread even though I finished the book https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face">

All in all, the book was a series of unfortunate events. I figured what would happen in the end but not how—at least not until a few sentences before.
