yay!! excited to hear your thoughts!

i thought this was a romance group

@neerj although sometimes the BOTMs are romcoms, the only requirement for them is that they have to be clean and have no smut. Hope this helps !! 🤗

our first discussion questionnnn!!!

what kind of student is Percy and does that kind of foreshadow what is going to happen next??

He’s not a very good one…

I have no idea how it foreshadows tho 😭

i would say he doesn't pay enough attention and cant sit still to be a good student. i think this kind of foreshadows that he will make hasty decisions.

Ehhhhhh, his decisions are pretty bad ngl 😭 that’s acc a great prediction !!

The not being able to sit still is prob gonna make him rlly active and be able to fight

true true

Percy's an awful student because he can't concentrate and is dyslexic (etcetera, etcetera), but the thing I love most is that despite his struggles with learning and the "strange things" that happen every year, he hasn't given up. He still wants to attend school, do well, and make his mom proud. I mean, he was even told he wouldn't be invited back to Yancy and still studied for his Latin class bc he wanted to make his teacher proud.

I think that shows a lot of his character- how far he'll go for the people he cares about, and that he doesn't give up, even when he has good reason to.
