Mama Mia.
I'm shook.
Fans of the ACOTAR trilogy would rave over this book. No joke.
No spoilers just me gushing...
I was Legit abt to cry at the end when everything unravelled and omg The AUTHOR!!!! She is one hell of an intelligent swindler. *Because* she took overused tropes and remodeled/revisited them in an ingenious way. I'm just fucking speechless. I'm in awe.
I have to warn you that there are elicit scenes and see scenes as well (yes, plural). Anyways, that aside, can I gush over the book?
Just keep on reading if this still interests you.
Okay first of all the main character: Poppy. She isn't the typical character I would root for but... she grew on me after some time; it's mostly due to how the author often makes a retrospection of her and that made me understand Poppy (though I still love tempered and badass main characters, she became a fave).
The plot is well woven through the romance and I didn't feel it too angsty (it was just right). I kept giggling and writhing at the cheesy lines Hawke would pull out. Omg the journal!!! Okay so there is this scene (not a spoiler) where Poppy finds a journal equivalent to fifty shades of grey and Hawke takes it from her which creates a witty banter between them. My stomach hurt from laughing so much.
Ugh I just can't keep gushing about this because it'll take years! And I'm very impatient so... ig I'll write a proper review or gushing (whatever) on my reread. Because YES, I plan on rereading this masterpiece soon.
