Love Unwritten by Lauren Asher
3.75
Lauren writes a book? Sooner or later I will be reading it, period.
I’ve been waiting to read Rafa’s story ever since I read Love Redesigned one year ago, I might have waited longer since it came out cause work was eating me alive but I’ve finally DEVOURED this book, cause that’s what I did.. it took me 24 hours man.
I might be adding this man in my not so long list of book boyfriends (not so long cause yes, I am picky), yes he needed (a lot) therapy but sue me for loving broken men!!
Nico was the cherry on top of this story, I loved that little kid SO FREAKING MUCH!!
The plot hooked me since the very beginning, I mean we were just dropped at the middle of a scene the first page!! You bet I was extremely invested since then 😂
The romance might not have been the best but it was there nonetheless, their relationship was cute and the slow burn was eating me 😮💨
Pace is great, writing is as lovely as always with Lauren 💖
No more words from me cause you have to pick this one up 🤭

Okay first of all, why didn’t you guys told me that fantasy books where THAT addictive?!? My god I feel like I’ve been in some sort of trance since starting this book..
I’ve already gave you a heads up in my stories but I’m officially obsessed with this book, I loved it.
This story is magical, in multiple ways and you found yourself quickly becoming addicted to the plot, it’s well written, the characters are relatable and what’s more important they’re interesting!! I mean I craved to know more about Ailia’s powers, and died to know more about Callum, and poor Reed I needed to know if he could handle the situation or if it would all go off the rails 😅
The trio was meant to do this together and they fitted so well, you can’t honestly hate any of them not even for a second, which is weird for me because I tend to resent one of the characters if there’s a trio situation 🤭 but I really loved the three of them, they were so fun to know 🫶🏻
It’s such a great and magical adventure 🧝🏻♀️🧙🏻♂️🧝🏻
You can easily tell that Haley put so much love into this story, and she explains the whole thing so well through the book it just comes natural for you to understand the world she’s putting us into 💖
The ending left me speechless, I was like “WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!?” and I think that’s beautiful because it shows just how much I cared about this book. So yes, I do recommend this one 🫶🏻
And I encourage you to always support indie authors ✨
