Beautiful cover, beautiful book...

I usually love to dive into a book blindly, with as few details as possible. and with this book, it was an end of me.
I am choked on words, even as I'm writing that I have no words for this book I`m on the edge of tears.
Nothing can describe the beautiful connection between two souls that found themselves in each other... and all they have are moments, special moments, thousands of them.

I have to recommend listening to it as an audiobook. Nelson Hobb and Caitlin Kelly did an amazing job!

I loved this book!

This is the second book from Emily Henry that I have read and only because it was this month's read from the book club. The previous one I didn`t like that much but I loved this one! I got a love story full of heartwarming, angry, heart-crushing, joyful, forgiving moments.

The story of getting out of your comfort zone and having a new point of perspective on some parts of our life was beautifully put together, the dare was a nice way of making it happen. The writing was so nice and enhanced the real natural flow of the story, you just have to keep reading. Stopping was not an option :)

As for January and Gus, I loved the banter between the two of them from the first pages, the chemistry between them was adorable. And the ending was so cute, you will finish this book with a smile and your heart full. Two people growing and healing together, they were opposite sides of life perspectives, one of them being the optimist and the other pessimist. It felt as if Gus`s storyline was better told, it had a veil of mystery that made it more interesting, and you have to admit... man written by women and is a writer, of course, he will say all the right things

If you haven`t read this book by now, this is your sign to do so!

I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

Well, this was a ride I wasn't expecting.

It started as a cute romance book of two long-separated friends who had a bad last moment together, a pretty casual read, but in the end, it was a page-turner.
The reason it wasn't a 5-star read was that the story felt a bit rushed, especially at the end.

The main characters had great chemistry with each other and I loved their connection but I would like a bit more of their backstory, we did hear about their time as kids and their present time but nothing more about them that would give them more of a dimension.
There were some cliche parts but I didn't mind them at all. They were put together pretty well.

The epilogue was beautifully written, with such a heartwarming ending. I loved it!

And for the side characters... Do I see a hint for a second book :)?

4.5 ⭐

I enjoyed reading this.
Such a wonderful story, with a great message, and with amazing, AMAZING artwork.

I don't want to do too much explaining the story as the main description of this graphic novel is enough, any more would only spoil the enjoyment of learning about the characters and their place and meaning in this world.

You don't have to be big to do great things and this novel portrays it well!
A perfect read for all ages.

I enjoyed reading this book although it did feel a bit like a repetition of the previous book. But you know what, I didn't mind it at all.

The characters are lovable, the story is swooning and by the end, we are all here for it.

There wasn't much of a world-building as in the previous book,
Spoiler we did find out about the existence of the dragons and their part of the world
and this was more of a slower pace storyline with a bit less action. You could read it as a standalone but it would be useful to read the previous one first.

Max is a game nerd, naive and kind, and lovable from the start.
Ragos, on the other hand, is a jerky guy at the start, the prologue was a bad start for him, but he has his story to be told and he gets his redemption.
The chemistry between Max and Ragos was a delight. It starts with a miscommunication but it is predictable so it doesn't go on your nerves reading it. If this is a trope that you hate, maybe you should skip this one. Their relationship grows slowly and it is so easy and lovely, it builds its roots and nothing can stop them. Yeah, they both have faults
but that is what it all makes fun to read.

This was a beautifully written ACOTAR retelling.

Now, this is something that I liked, but on the other hand, it was built up faster so it kinda missed that strong message that holds the whole ACOTAR storyline. Someone might dislike it because of it, but keep in mind, it is its own story by the end and you should read it as such.

The world-building is beautiful and maybe the strongest part of the book. The friendships are to die for and Remy and Hale are such a swooning couple. The story brings out a strong family vibe, it does flow a bit fast but in the end, they got your heart.

It reads easily and the story is empowered with diversity in a lot of fields.
