I enjoyed this. It was intense, kept me intrigued and it had me hooked. It was fast paced, the chapters are short and the story is well thought out. I highly recommend

Casey McQuiston I love you.
This is a 4 1/2 star book for me. I loved Jane, I loved august. One of my fave books.
The only reason for a half a star deduction was because the chapters are so long so I kept losing interest a little ways through a chapter but I listened to them on audiobook and it was much better.
But other than that it was a great book and Casey is a genius who I love so much 🥹

Woah! What a rollercoaster of a book!
It was creepy. It was intense. It was sad. It was good!
This was my first time reading one of Lisa’s books and honestly I have to read more!
This gave me the chills reading it!
The fact there’s people out in the world who are like that just gives me the heebee Jeebees

I love this book so much 🥹
This book is cute, has funny moments, has emotional moments and has a happy ending. What more could you want?
I will say I did not like Emmett too much. I found him very selfish and only thinking of himself at times.
Luke has my heart though! I love him and I loved his journey to finding out about who he is and who his family is.
If this is ever made into a movie I think Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine should play Luke and Emmett 👀
I definitely recommend reading this!

I absolutely loved this book!!
I think this could be the first fantasy book where I actually liked pretty much majority of the characters!
It’s definitely a fantasy book in every sense of the word. Vampires, Humans, Magic. The story kept you intrigued and it kept you wanting more. I don’t know how many nights I ended up staying awake because I didn’t want to put it down!
I loved Mische, Oraya, Raihn, Vincent etc.
I’m excited to read book 2!

OH MY GOD!!!!!
Ugh no book has ever made me emotional like this one has. I see so much of myself in Ben. As a non binary person myself who’s struggled with coming out and struggled with even coming to terms I related so much to Ben. I understood their fear, anxiety and doubt. I was rooting for Ben and Nathan the whole book! I’m so glad they ended up together!
Navigating the world as an adult who comes out as non binary is difficult.. I could not imagine being a teenager who’s trying to navigate life, family and friends and on top of that their identity. I feel like Ben did an incredible job at trying to get through everything.
Can we talk about how horrible their parents are though? All any LGBTQ+ person wants is to be accepted by the people who are suppose to love them. I was so angered by their reaction to Ben. The blatant disrespect for them and their identity hurt me as if it was being done to me.
Everyone needs a Hannah! Everyone needs a Nathan! Everyone needs a Mariam! Everyone needs a Dr Taylor!
This has become one of my fave books now. I finally found a book where I, a non binary person who uses they/them, can feel seen and represented.
Thank you Mason Deaver. Thank you.

This was my first time reading a Frieda McFadden book and safe to say I was not disappointed!
It had me gripped from the beginning
I did not see that plot twist coming at all. Definitely recommend reading this if you’re looking for an unputdownable thriller!
