Ummm excuse me???

Complex world building with political turmoil as an ongoing plot point. Epic potential for all this characters in the sequel. 

Really not kidding on the slow burn. 

The ending has me INFURIted. It’s 1am and THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED? Ma’am

I found this book through instagram reels that quoted the line “that’s my wife” and noted the story was a she rescues him narrative. Based on that I found the first book in this collection to be overhyped but the second book enough growth and plot development to understand where the hype was coming from. 

I’m curious about Rivers story coming out later this year!

Just finished and feeling a little haunted by the two main characters Zara (narrator) and Jane (love interest). 

Devoured this book and loved the plot development. A passionate tale of falling into love ~ even if it’s not the love you’d expect.

A book that reveals more about what it is to be human than it does anything else. Took a minute to get into but the multiple perspectives began to overlap // a communication of contact was formed. Will be thinking about this one for awhile ~ 5 stars

I can’t believe this one ended where it did. Thought it was a complete series BUT OBVIOUSLY THATS NOT TRUE. 
Can genuinely say I was reading for the plot on this one.

This book hit HARD with the big feelings. I don’t think anything else had me tearing up this year. The dynamic between the sisters really hit home as an older sibling.

Lovely read - made me want to request French toast for breakfast.
Didn’t love the fourth act break up ~ felt like Oliver had done more emotional growth than that and it made me mad.
