What. A. Journey. I had to take a deep breath at the end. I still feel like I’m holding my breath from that last game.

There are some beautiful moments in this story. A dozen times better than my experience with her other two books. Unique concept and unique characters with dynamic relationships.

I. Just. Wish. Vi. Had. A. Bigger. Part. And that’s the main reason it cannot be 5 stars. If you took the whole story and removed Vi, the outcome would basically be the same. Which is NOT what you want for a major character. Or at least, she’s presented as a MC. She isn’t written like one. Also this was a slow slow slow start. I had to skim several chapters to find the action again. Her writing style is still not my favorite. But damn does she have some amazing scenes scattered about.

For all the things I did not like, this was a very unique book like I’ve never read before.

Will I pick up another book for her? Idk 1/3 isn’t great. But I at least, recommend this one.

This was not at all what I was expecting and I am delighted.

This was genuinely my hardest read ever. It was so confusing and just not with it. If I had not been so determined to finish I didn't think I would've finished it. Yeah wouldn't recommend. The art in the book was cute

"i would love him still, even if he left me again. i would love him through several lifetimes, i think, and i would love him in every world."

honestly couldn't tell you what the game was about but besides that this was so fun & funny, surprisingly but, then again, it's olivie and she writes (possibly) the best banter ever.

➢ cal & mayra- so sweet so cute, wish we got more cutesy moments between them.

"mayra, it's worth it," he begged. "a moment with you is far more worthwile than an eternity of paradise."

➢ fox & brandt- they're married in my world

"will you still love me, do you think? if we were ever to be old and grey."

"yes," he said. "what kind of life could have ever been enough if i had never confessed that i would love you, fox, for every day that i walked this earth?"

➢ vi & tom- cuties, def lots of potential for a great love story.
