Significance

Hey Virtuoso,

I could have called you an Ace but. . . that's me and. . . I have a rant about that later. Anyway. I'm sure you weren't expecting me back so soon. Me neither. This is putting a dent in my next week stalling plans, but it's okay. I fell again and I now have a bruise. I've never bruised before, so I don't really know what to do. I think I should have iced my knee, but what college student has ice? Not me.

Anyway, today, I finished rereading Significance by Shelly Crane. This book is about a young girl, just graduated, whose life is changed with a single touch. You think I'm being dramatic, but alas, I am not. Maggie is sad, because her life kind of imploded on her. No boyfriend, no mom, no dad. Then she sees this dude, who almost get's himself killed, and saves him. And then. They have a M O M E N T. A magical moment, where they are now soulmates with a hilariously incorrect name. But they are the first soulmates in a hot minute, so there aren't a bunch of warm feelings outside of the family. I think I covered my bases? Who knows anymore.

I read this years ago, and even though the writing isn't great and there are so so so many spelling, grammatical, and formatting errors, I wanted to know what happened next, so I spammed my local library until they got them. And they got most of them. Now, I'm here, talking to you about it. So. Our magical soulmates are called Virtuosos. That's, like, they're proper name, but they also call themselves Aces, which is a no from me. For the uncultured swine, or the people who don't know we exist, ace is the nickname for asexuals. the true A in that long gay acronym. the LGBTQAIE whatever. I have weird feelings about this, because we don't feel sexual desire, like at all, but these Ace's clearly do for their soulmates and stuff. So I'm like, maybe the term ace for us was not a thing when the book was written, but this is not true. I don't know how I feel about it, but I'm not in a good feeling space right now.

Anyway. The book. Maggie is a sweetheart. Kind of reminds me of me, but white with family issues and a soulmate. And Caleb is so attentive and lovely I can't. Kyle? His entire existence is being a cockblock and needs to just leave as soon as possible. The writing isn't the best (like I said, so many errors. It hurts because I am the grammar police) but the story is interesting. I really hope it stays interesting, because these are all the books I have and I have to stay in this place until next Thursday. Wish me luck. Not really,  I don't believe in luck. But be proud of me for not losing my entire personality like yesterday. I'm really trying my best.
