I liked this but it also didn’t feel very special? Loved the neurodivergent rep, but the story felt quite predictable and cliché. The structure and ”feeling” was pretty much the same as in the Bright Falls series, which lowered my rating a bit (I love that series, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted something new and different with this one. Maybe that’s my fault though, and I shouldn’t read any more of this genre..?)

I wanted to like this one, but i found the writing a little stilted. the characters felt like they were written to try to be relatable, rather than being genuinely relatable.

Writing, plot, and characters aren't for me tragically.

Trashy beach romance read! Pretty typical but felt more eye roll inducing than usual.

The need I have to read a fluffy romance book in its entirety overnight is unmatched.
Cozy grumpy-sunshine romance? That’s all it takes to have me giggling, blushing, and kicking my feet
Ugh. Love.

Even though she gave a whole spiel about it, this title honestly wasn’t a good choice for the book. It just kind of was random, though she said she spent months on it. It’s not symbolic enough.
Anywaysss the book was good. It was actually crazy how much I saw myself in Opal. It’s like the book was written with me as a character.
I also like the neurodivergent representation that doesn’t misrepresent or kind of feast on the audience. It was some valid representation.
Decent book.

This was ok - sweet & spicy. I'd love to say it was a nice and chilled out escape from reality, but it was a tad too depressing for that. However, nicely written!
