I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Highly recommend if you want a super cute fake dating story

Alexandra Warren is funny af. I was constantly laughing out loud while reading this. Love the chemistry and the relationship which is crazy because I hate friends to lovers. Cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

Pippa is so dumb and constantly putting herself in danger and its annoying as hell. I couldn't stand her from chapter one but the ending was actually good

I really enjoyed this! Thank you so much to Phoenix Collins for sending me an arc!

I love Lucky as a character. I love how independent and fierce she is and I love her relationship with Carter.

Carter actually communicating his feelings for Lucky really sealed the deal for me because I cannot stand miscommunication

I also love the relationship that Lucky has with her parents, it was so nice to see.

My guess is that book 2 will be

Rosie and Vic and that Bash will also get a book. I'm already sat for both I can't wait!!!

This was definitely a satisfying ending to the trilogy even if I did agree with all of the choices made. I especially love the final part of the book and how she wrote it

I really can't get over the excessive lust that they feel for each to the point where they are ready to bang on the dining room table in front of company
That and Aubrey annoys the hell out of me with

the narrative that because her parents relationship didn't work out then hers won't either

I love being back in Aritsar! Something about the way that Ifueko writes just gives me everything that I need in a fantasy. This is a young adult fantasy romance inspired by Beauty and the Beast and Howl's Moving Castle. This is very much a slowburn and if you've read the Raybearer trilogy you will see some familiar faces along with some loveable new ones. Ifueko does a great job writing social commentary in an accessible way and also having the best found family that just makes you instantly fall in love with the characters. 
I will say that I was able to predict a few things including the true identity of the Crocodile.

His character is someone that I strongly disliked in Redemptor and I hate that she made me care about him and his happiness lol

I love a second chance romance. However, the reason for the break up was so fucking stupid you're just asking "but what was the point" the entire time. Also I hate that

Hope keeps saying things like "I can't trust him anymore" when she was the one that cause the damn breakup in the first place. I can understand not wanting to follow in your parents footsteps but she had no valid reason to think that that would ever happen. Her "fear" of having to put her dreams and career on hold for Adrian were completely unfounded because he literally never asked her to do that. Also Zuri really isn't a great friend. She consistently says the absolute wrong thing at the wrong time and for what????
