I adored the first of this series (The Sunny Side), and it was even better so finally see Pip get some loving of his own. Pip is a super sassy PA to Jonas, the head of a fancy London modeling agency, he’s never met a come on he didn’t like. When he’s laid low by illness Jonas sends him to his villa in the south of France to recuperate (a bit over the top, but just go with it. It’s worth it! ;D )
While regaining his health he meets Jonas’ mysterious brother, Olivier, who is famous for his debauched parties. When the two meet they agree to keep things casual. But when does any good romance novel stay that way?
I loved getting to know Pip and Olivier better and the story was such fun escapism. Yachts and fancy shoes and jet setting between England and France. This was a slow burn romance with some heat and sweetness. I love the snarky banter that Lily’s Novels always have and this one was excellent with it! Treat yourself to a great read with heart!
I struggled with this book to start. I had a hard time with Gem. I didn’t like them very much. Their reaction was very understandable given all of their trauma, but I didn’t connect with them. However, the plot is GOOD.
Gem Echols is a nonbinary Seminole teen living in the tiny town of Gracie, Georgia. Part of a pantheon trapped on earth being reborn into generation after generation and some of them recalling their previous lives and some not. It was a fascinating concept. Gem can’t recall their past and struggles to reconcile what Willa Mae is telling them about them being in love over thousands of years and over dozens of lifetimes. And how does Enzo, the guy that Gem has been in love with for years in this lifetime, fit into this picture? Can there be room for a human in a relationship between gods? Does a human life matter in such a grand scale?
I didn’t pay enough attention at the start so I missed that the book is part of a duology, but now I will DEFINITELY be picking up the second book when it comes out.

Fun! I definitely want to read a few more.

Reread this September 2023. I couldn't remember anything about it from reading it in 2011. Weird.
Cute book, fun premise. If you know anything at all about the Greek pantheon you'll see almost everything coming before the story reveals it. But it was fun and I think I'll read the next one.

This is a gorgeous book and the charts are fantastic. They're full color and the charts are very clear and easy to read. There's also a nice section that explains how different yarn and fiber choices will impact your color work which is such a great resource. I love this book and will definitely be ordering a copy for the library.
