It reminded me why I love reading, the feeling of being sucked into a story, staying up late turning the pages, forgetting you're even reading because it's playing out like a movie in your head. I will never forget you
This is perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six and Magnolia Parks...more

How does he keep doing this! Usually second books are a drag with lots of filler but this was still fast paced with Tau still on his path to vengeance, a civil war and a new budding romance. The way this book ended was explosive and expected in a good way! Book 3 is about to be a SMASH! I need it like yesterday!...more

This series will alwaysIf I got paid every time I cried while reading this masterpiece I would be a rich woman! One of the best sequels Ive ever read. This series will always have a special place in my heart now!
I usually don’t love the amnesia trope but I loved how Rebecca done it, it allowed the romance to start over again and have the tender moments through letters which was what I loved about the first book so I’m glad it continued in book 2.
The story was gripping and beautifully written, I have no notes.
I never said this book was good, i said that I loved it haha This was way too long and got quite repetitive so 4.5⭐️ if im being picky but i honestly lI never said this book was good, i said that I loved it haha This was way too long and got quite repetitive so 4.5⭐️ if im being picky but i honestly love the characters so much and the banter between the box set was top tier in this book!
Nothing much happened in this book and yet I cried, I laughed, I got annoyed and I got inspired. Im going to miss my friends so much! ...more
6 Star Read! This book deserves all the accolades! It was traumatic and heartbreaking but healing and inspiring at the same time. Not to mention the chi6 Star Read! This book deserves all the accolades! It was traumatic and heartbreaking but healing and inspiring at the same time. Not to mention the childhood friends to lovers story line Caprice and Shaun have my heart! True soulmates
This may be the first book where I love the FMC slightly more than the MMC. They’re both amazing but Caprice really shines in this story.
I love how it was told in 3 parts, from kids to teenagers and then adults it was perfectly paced to allow us to get to know the characters at each stage. Tears were shed and this is definitely a story that will stay with me
Just read it! I can’t explain to you how happy this book made me, if you love man falls first, man obsessed, words of affirmation, acts of service! He Just read it! I can’t explain to you how happy this book made me, if you love man falls first, man obsessed, words of affirmation, acts of service! He literally rents a yacht for the day for her because she was overwhelmed with her sisters wedding planning and just wanted a day to read by the water. Rome is now one of my top book boyfriends! Its set in Mexico so would be the perfect vacation read (even though I read this at home, I could visualise everything perfectly)
I loved the discussions about Janelle being a people pleaser even at the expense of her own happiness, just because someone is family doesn’t give them a right to disrespect your boundaries and walk all over you. It was a lesson I myself had to learn a while ago, the art of saying no.
I hope everyone else gets their own book because I’m trying to read Evie & Jalen’s love story, with his fine single dad, retired NBA ass....more

I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much reading a book, knowing that this is some people’s reality is truly heartbreaking.
Everyone needs to read this, iI don’t think I’ve ever cried so much reading a book, knowing that this is some people’s reality is truly heartbreaking.
Everyone needs to read this, its so true what the author says in their author’s note. The news report numbers of deaths so much that we become desensitised to the fact that each number was an actual person that’s had hopes and dreams of a better life.
If you’re a fan of Khaled Hosseini books you should definitely read this. I do wonder why this is marketed as a YA book because it’s very triggering and quite graphic with descriptions of injuries and deaths and the main character is 19. I personally would recommend it for new adult/adult readers ...more
Make no mistake this is Kyrell’s story, Ive seen some people refer to it as Quinn’s story and as much as she is the loAnother 5⭐️ hit from A E Valdez!
Make no mistake this is Kyrell’s story, Ive seen some people refer to it as Quinn’s story and as much as she is the love interest the book focuses heavily on him and his parental issues. I loved Kyrell in “All I’ve Wanted, All Ive Needed” so I loved watching him fall in love.
They start as friends with benefits and of course the more time they spend together the more they fall in love. Quinn has always had a plan and likes to be in control of her own life, Kyrell is a “walking chill pill” and goes with the flow so he shows her how to let her hair down, the go karting date was hilarious.
I won’t say much more because I think it’s fun to just let the story unravel as you read it but Kyrell has serious issues with his parents and childhood which are described on page so check triggers but I enjoyed watching his relationship with his father build and tears were shed.
I did think the book dragged slightly towards the end, with parts being repeated and lots of spicy scenes that I had to skip over a bit because I’m personally not a big spice reader, I can do 1 or 2 scenes but not spice after ever serious conversation. But some may love that and it definitely didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story.
(FYI definitely read this before “The Beginning of Forever” book because that has spoilers for the ending of this book)
Phenomenal! Finally a book that lives up to the hype!
Oraya is such a strong FMC, ruthless, powerful and yet relatable. Everything she does makes sensePhenomenal! Finally a book that lives up to the hype!
Oraya is such a strong FMC, ruthless, powerful and yet relatable. Everything she does makes sense, such a easy character to root for.
“I realized that fear, when embraced, hardens and sharpens. That it becomes rage. That it becomes power. I would not die here. I let my fury explode.”
This might be one of the very few books where I love the FMC slightly more than the MMC. Don’t get me wrong I still LOVE Raihn, he’s funny and caring and as close to a golden retriever as a Vampire can get.
"I've lived through some injustices in the last couple of centuries. Seen some fucking travesties. But one of the biggest, Oraya, is that anyone taught you that you should become anything other than exactly what you are."
All characters jumped of the page and made me love them, Ilana, Mische, somehow even Ibrihim (even though we don’t get to know him much) and especially Vincent. I have never seen a morally grey character done so well, to the point I spent the whole book fighting myself on if Vincent was a good or bad person…finally settling on the fact that he is truly morally grey, a person that can do bad things and yet not be a completely bad person.
"I can't take credit for everything that you've become, Oraya. Even if sometimes I wish I could. But if I'm responsible for just one small piece of that, it will have been the greatest accomplishment of my life.”
I ordered book 2 before I even finished this one because I want to stay in this world forever...more
