Meh, I wanted to love it but I had a hard time following it. I wonder if I might have enjoyed a visual read more, and I’d be open to coming back to it in the future, but it just wasn’t it for me currently. 

Thank you to Berkley Publishing for the advanced copy of this book!

Infinite stars for this infinite love story. This was so much more than I ever could have expected from it, and I loved every moment of it. This book is so much more than just a love story - it’s a beautiful exploration of love, loss, grief, friendship, fate, and reality. The way these characters are drawn to one another, yearning through space and time, is so moving and I couldn’t get enough. The banter between Tressa Fay and Meryl is so immaculate, and I constantly found myself laughing out loud at their antics! 

This book was hilarious, witty, spicy, and mind-bending, and is definitely a contender for one of my top reads of 2025! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a steamy, queer romance that makes you believe in destiny!

Not bad, just wasn’t vibing with the sort of lit fic vibes of it

I ate this UP! I loved the friends to strangers to lovers dynamic, and the forced proximity of the cruise ship was great. John is SUCH a cutie and I am obsessed with him. Micah is still a bit more of a mystery to me, and I wish we delved into her backstory a biiit more to better understand her and why she did the things she did. I also felt like the jump from nothing to sleeping together happened weirdly quickly, but I also wasn’t mad about it cause that cruise ship spice was SPICYYY 🥵

I devoured this book in an evening, and highly recommend for those who like friends to lovers, forced proximity, and rockstar vibes!

Oh my god I absolutely DEVOURED this!!! It was everything I wanted it to be and more - it was sweet and emotional, while being goofy and campy at the same time. Jasper has the ultimate himbo vibes and I’m literally obsessed, and also I would die for sweet, darling Charlie. I loved the dynamics of the STRIP group, with everyone just accepting each others quirks and weirdness without question. There is a really solid element of found family that I didn’t expect, and I really enjoyed it!

It was a little frustrating and sad to see how resistant Charlie was to opening up to others, but it also made complete sense for a trans boy at a very traditional boarding school to be wary! I just want all the best things for him, and I love the way things ended for him.

I will be screaming from the rooftops for everyone to read this book!

Forever 5 stars! I'm so happy I read Six Scorched Roses in between this time, as I forgot what a big part Vale and Lilith have in this book! I loved Raihn and Oraya's journey back to trust and healing after the events of the first book, and the reread helped me catch so many small things that I missed in my first read!

I loved this so so much!!!! Emily Henry's writing just always hits so well for me, and this was no exception. Miles and Daphne are SO cute together and i just loved every minute of this read.

This read was queer in every sense of the word! It was like cozy botanical Frankenstein horror? It was a really unique read and I had a good time with it! 

Thank you Penguin Teen for the advanced copy of this book!

This was such a great intro to sci-fi horror for me! It truly did feel like a perfect blend of Alien and Titanic, and I loved all of the parallels between them. Dominic and Celeste were both so easy to root for, and complimented each other well, and I loved their casual ease together.

The enclosed spaceship setting was so eerie and the tension had me on the edge of my seat! The ending was so intense and I’m really curious to see where the series goes and how much we are able to learn about the aliens! 

Thank you to Forever for the gifted advance copy of this book!

This was such a sweet, sapphic read! Gemma and Celeste were drawn together like magnets, and I loved the way they couldn’t stay away from one another. They are clearly so comfortable together, and I really loved that they were both always up front with the other - no miscommunication tropes here! This was really lighthearted, without a ton of conflict, and is a very lighthearted read.

Gemma’s friendship with Val and Kiara is so beautiful, and I love that they help her feel included in the queer community, and seen and validated as a bisexual woman. Gemma is so accepted in who she is and who she wants to be, and it’s so wonderful to see 🥹

I also loved the way that Korean heritage and culture is woven all throughout! We get to see two different Korean-American experiences with both Gemma and Celeste, and I love the way they find pieces of themselves and their culture in the other, like they become a home away from home for the other. 

Also fuck James - that guy sucks.
