I loved the concept more than the execution. The pacing felt off and I, as a twin, shouldn't have had a hard time keeping the triplets' stories straight all the time. The romances were all rushed and the "big twist" didn't seem that surprising.

I've never thought about insider trading or math competitions before, especially in Europe, so this was an interesting world to explore, especially since usually contemporary reads feel innately familiar. I appreciated that the younger characters had nuance even though they weren't the main focus. 

Provided exactly what it promised - a light rom-com feel that you don't have to think too much about. Nothing felt particularly earth-shattering, and the original fiancé character was a little one-sided, but it still worked well enough for a fun read.

This book seemed like it would be a quick and easy read, and maybe it could've been, but for whatever reason, it was almost a slog for me. I felt more interested in the intergenerational family relationships that mostly happened off-page than the actual romance, which seemed inevitable and too coincidental that he worked at the same place that was relevant to the plot in other ways. I really didn't like how neatly Vanessa could bring together another couple just by vibing it out? I know she had magical powers but it was a little too much even for this world imo.

This was an interesting take on information/computers/technology in WWII vs the 60s, but honestly I was way more interested in Rita's storyline than Nellie and Leah's. The lesbian romance didn't particularly work for me.

I enjoyed the movie enough to want to read this, but I was really frustrated with the repetitive character descriptions and action sequences in this book. I didn't like how stereotypical it was that Russians wanted to make Russia...more bad...and were associated/obsessed with Nazi atrocities. I don't necessarily read this genre, but I was expecting something compelling and didn't find it.

This was a great setup that didn't quite deliver the immersion into the school setting that I wanted - the friendships felt inevitable, the classes incidental, and the main character was never challenged by anyone else's skills at all, which was annoying. I felt like the pacing was sometimes off and the romance seemed shallow. I was SO annoyed with the constant repetition of the protagonist's special in-world curse. The ending was crazy!

Similar in tone and subject to the first book, but not as much fun for me as it mainly focused on characters who were not Austen's. I didn't really love the love triangle and found it somewhat forced.

Although most of the arcs and tropes here were predictable, I still enjoyed this conclusion to the series. Costco was one of my favorite parts because it felt real. It would've been nice to see more growth from Jeff, but at least the girls had some - especially Daphne towards the end, even if a lot of that growth was out of our view.

This entry in the series felt a little flatter than the first two, sometimes like things were being stretched to fill the book. For a "everyday" "normal" "common" girl, Nina sure doesn't pay much attention to her regular friends/family/life, and the

friendship between her and Daphne erased some of the foil situations that had been established but in a somewhat creative/interesting way. Jeff still felt flat to me, and Sam was so obviously going to get serious with her boy that it was annoying how long it took her to figure that out. I really hated how easily Beatrice's arc with the foreign royalty/climate bill got resolved.
