i was screaming, crying, kicking my feet giggling!! absolutely adored them.
jacob is so personal to me. i struggle with a lot of the same things he does and having that represented in a book made my heart grow <3 he is the funny, softie book boyfriend of my dreams!! i also loved briana’s character so much!! she is hilarious and i was actually laughing out loud at their banter.
i’m a sucker for a good slowburn and this book DELIVERED. the tension!!!! the angst!!!!! the will-you-pls-just-talk-to-each-other!!!!!!!!!!! i was eating it up, and i ate good.
this book had the potential to be a five star read for me up until the 80ish % mark. i didn’t love what happened there. like i get it and it is a big part of briana’s character but i feel like it could have been interwoven into the story at another time and a little more seamlessly yk. i feel like it came out of nowhere in a way? but regardless, i absolutely loved it and will be thinking about jacob and briana for always!!! <3...more

it feels like harriet and wyn were written just for me.
"In every universe, it's you for me. Even if it's not me for you."

it feels like harriet and wyn were written just for me.
"In every universe, it's you for me. Even if it's not me for you."
i’m an emotional mess. literally sitting here crying my eyes out because i finished the book. for some reason it felt healing.
harriet and wyn now own a pretty big chunk of my heart. the way they made me feel is so special. books don’t have this effect on me often, like i live all the emotions with the characters. i feel like i just fell in love, got my heart ripped out and then healed again.
i relate so deeply to so many complicated parts of both wyn and harriet. i want nothing more than to keep them safe in my heart and love them forever.
the found family is everything and more. if i get even an ounce of that love in my life i will be happy.
FIVE FREAKING STARS. new comfort book. so in love.
can i just tell you all the pain i was in when i checked the page number (whole book) and it was 370FIVE FREAKING STARS. new comfort book. so in love.
can i just tell you all the pain i was in when i checked the page number (whole book) and it was 370, and then i reached page 350 and the word epilogue was staring back at me.. i thought i had 20 pages left of oliveadam but i only had two. pain pain pain. wanted to cry.
anyway. so good. sooo good. i love olive and i love adam. the freaking banter. extraordinary. the man has dimples, and if you know me = my biggest weakness.

the continuation of sebastian and eleonora’s story is anything but rainbows and butterflies. it’s heartbreak, longing and self-discovery. it’s beautifthe continuation of sebastian and eleonora’s story is anything but rainbows and butterflies. it’s heartbreak, longing and self-discovery. it’s beautiful. my heart aches just thinking about this roller coaster of a book.
ngl i’m at loss for words. the characters. the plot. the PLOT TWISTS. my god the plot twists had me gasping. especially the ending. it’s so absurd how you can have so many guesses and theories and they all make sense in their own way. but then livy went and said “fuck you, you’re wrong”, and hits us with a plot twist i couldn’t see coming, even tho it all makes perfect sense once you have it right in front of you. amazing.
the biggest part of this story for me was witnessing the growth both these characters had through it. they learned to love themselves so that they could—in the end—love each other. there’s just something so pure about about being able to love oneself before one can love others.
and it’s so satisfying to see characters you love and adore finally finding peace after the storm. sebastian and eleonora went through so much shit in this book, no one deserves a happy ending more than them.
“It’s very peaceful here, and still… I think the only place I’ve ever felt at peace is with Eleonora. She’s my peace.”
can we also take a moment and appreciate the writing in this book? so beautiful. i swear some of the quotes had me choking up they were so beautifully written.
“I pick you, even with all the baggage that follows. You know why?” “Why?” “Because you’re worth it, Sebastian.”
lastly, fuck you liv for putting me and sebastian through that....more
play “sad beautiful tragic” because i’m positive once their story is over that song is going to be on repeat in my mind.
this book has it all, ALL my fplay “sad beautiful tragic” because i’m positive once their story is over that song is going to be on repeat in my mind.
this book has it all, ALL my favorite tropes/scenes. childhood friends to lovers? check. fake dating? check. forbidden romance? check. a school with dark academia vibes? check. a rain kiss with a love confession? check check check.
this book is so real. with how it deals with insecurities both appearance vice and the mentality of not feeling like you’re good enough. it shows growth and strength in breaking free of the invisible chains tied around you for other peoples gain. sebastian and ellie went through so much, and they developed as characters with the help from the love they found for each other. and themselves.
sebastian is the youngest of the sinclair brothers, and the fun yet under-surface damaged one. he pulled on all my heartstrings and all i want to do is hug him so tightly. with everything he has gone through and everything i know he still has to face, i also want to call him the strongest.
then there’s ellie aka eleonora. innocent but maybe not as innocent as she’d like you to believe. my best bisexual girl. i have a crush on both parts of this relationship so what? oh yeah she’s also a passionate ballerina. again this book has it all.
with the main plot being their relationship, the side of suspense gave the story everything it needed to keep me on the edge of my seat. swoon worthy moments, funny dialogue and a little mystery. absolute perfection.
hi liv, imma need the next book asap. the freaking cliffhanger, i’m on my way to haunt you.

ANYWAY, aaron freaking blackford. thats it. you don’t need another reason to read this book. my lover. how can one man be this perfect???? AND THE SEXY SCENES. ohmygod. i need jesus.
after much thought i’m choosing to ignore the few moments of cringy dialogue and the times i fell out in the beginning bc of too much inner monologue.

the beginning was a mess. i had no idea what was going on and joshlucy gave me a whiplash. kinda bored the first 50%, but the last half really picked up and i enjoyed it. i found lucy kinda annoying at times, but she was funny. josh was so sweet let me just die for that man. anyway i’m really excited about the movie....more
