I knew the story was intriguing but didn't know I'd like it this much. The one thing that restricted me from giving it a full five was that the last 20–30% of the book, it wasn't as riveting as the rest of the book and you could guess what would happen with the female leads. (Since they were both chefs in a sort of way.)...more

It's okay. But, I thought I'll like it more. It wasn't as funny as I expected. The romance was okay but not amazing. 2.5 stars

I liked that carnaval scene a lot though! And, the Audible Performances were nice as always. It's just that the second half feels streched and not that interesting in comparison....more
This may be the first time when I like both the novel & the movie adaptation, even though, they are North and South.

Things I liked:
⭐ The writing:Not at all sloppy. Really didn't expected it to be so true to YA.
⭐ The lead: She wasn't the best and she did make normal teenage mistakes but I was fine with it. I liked her 80 percent of the novel.p
⭐ The story: The book is way different than the movie. The movie is more about the meaning of 'Duff' while the book is more about the character, her friends and her overall, life.
⭐ The friends: The female friendship in the book and as well as in the movie, is one of the best I've read/seen.
⭐ The couple, Bianca and Wesley: They were sucha cute YA couple. They talked and had fun, I don't know how much more you can get from a high school couple. The following scene is one of the rarest similarity between the book and the movie.

⭐Still, I cannot choose between the movie and the book, the movie is funnier while the book's romance is better....more

The story: Clair is an actress. She's in need of money, so, she does usual work of entrapping husbands ordered by their wives for a firm. But, one day, one of the husbands' wife is found dead.
Usually, I write the pros and cons of the novel in my review but I couldn't figure out anything that I want to change in this novel. So, here are The Pros:
❤ The Story is very unusual. I haven't read anything close to and wasn't bored at any part.
️❤ The writing. The author went into the mind of the lead so well, even I was confused, whether that person did it or not.
️❤️ The twists are all there and the timing (s) are just perfect. It doesn't feel they are there just to drag the story.
❤️ The end is completely satisfactory. Many thriller don't have them but it ties up everything and explains nicely.
❤️ Loved the audiobook. The narrator and especially, the production was amazing. It's one of those audiobooks that Audible makes and you can hear the surrounding of a hotel/bar.
*I've read The Girl Before by the author, it may be more popular, but this one is better....more
2.75 To be exact... A nice audiobook. Though, it's a Romance, not a Romcom. Cinderella theme? There wasn't much. [image]
Things I liked:
1) The narrat2.75 To be exact... A nice audiobook. Though, it's a Romance, not a Romcom. Cinderella theme? There wasn't much. [image]
Things I liked:
1) The narrator, The audiobook was one of the best.
2)The cover, I wouldn't have picked it, if the cover hadn't been this cute.
3) Representation.
Things I didn't:
1) The chemistry between Cindy and Henry wasn't much there. It was a romance but the romance felt short.
2) Cindy wasn't much of a Cinderella, at least to me. Her family was very supportive, really supportive to be exact.
3) The story become quite repetitive, especially at every other chapter when Cindy started to talk about her parents. Yes, it's sad but I do not want to hear about it in every chapter in a romance book, it's not a Drama, right?...more

What I loved:
1) The story: It's very comforting and even though predictable at times, it gives you all the Romcom vibes! I personally loved the career of Maddie.
2) The characters: I liked both the Main leads, Maddie and Chase, respectively, but LOVED them together. They needed to have more cute scenes together though.
3) The side characters: I adored every character in the book, even the ones that are grey, as the writing was so good
The reason for the last star:
The ending was very predictable as I said, especially the Epilogue. Otherwise, it was a 4.5 read for me....more
⭐The story: It had a lot of time assigned to the life of an author, which are main lead, Jo isThis was... surprisingly good!

Things I liked:
⭐The story: It had a lot of time assigned to the life of an author, which are main lead, Jo is. The ratio of Romance and Comedy was nice.
⭐ The funny scenarios and the writing. Meg Cabot has been in the industry for a long time now, of course. She can write. But, I particularly, liked the voice of Jo. Though, she was a little childish at times, I could connect with her.
Things I wanted more of:
❤️ More scenes of the main leads, Jo and Will.
❤️ The story is only about two days, really. And, though I like how the story goes. I wanted thoDe days to be stretched into a week. I think it could've been a five star then....more
