A cute, fun, swoon-worthy read with extremely lovable main characters, a great cast of supporting characters, and deliciously awkward, funny and hot situations. It was adorable. It was touching. It was hilarious. And it was sexy. Apart from the ending, which felt rushed, I really, really enjoyed this one.

This was my first Alice Oseman's book, author that I discovered thanks to the [b:Heartstopper: Volume One|40495957|Heartstopper Volume One (Heartstopper, #1)|Alice Oseman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1541887843l/40495957._SY75_.jpg|62811229] webcomic, and I simply loved it. The characters and their struggles were relatable, the relationship touched me a lot and the story was just compelling. And oh my, the rep was amazing!
I am looking forward to read her other books.

I'm surprised because it was so different than what I expected, but also so good.

One Hundred Years of Solitude was a long book, really dense, with little dialogues and loads of characters having the same name. It followed the story of a same family through seven generations. Lots of things have happened to them. There were births, deaths, marriages, wars, curses, madness. Some people came, some others left, some came back. It was tragic. It was mystical. It was epic. And it was a delight to read.
And despite how many times I thought about giving up reading this one, I just couldn't. I couldn't put it down and just forget about it. There is something about the writing, about the stories told, that was fascinating, gripping, beguiling.
The moment you get sucked into this book, you won't find yourself being the same in the end. I'm still very much confused about a lot of things that have happened, but wow. I know this book will be on the back of my head for a very long time.
It's one of those classics that I struggled with a lot, but am so very glad that I read.

Absolutely adorable!
A cute, light and funny contemporary, with its fluffy moments and of course, the ones that are heart-breaking. The right book to lift one's spirit and have a good time, especially right now.
The characters were wonderful and touching, and even if the story did felt a bit cliché sometimes, I very much enjoyed it. It was a pretty fast read too, which is always a bonus, and definitely a page turner for me.
If you're looking for a fast, feel-good read with a boy next door/ennemies to lovers/fake dating trope, try this one out!
