DID NOT FINISH

Halfway through and this just isn't gripping me. I get it. You're nerds & you're distant & traumatized and horny. Dear god. 

An Ali Hazelwood book will always tick all my boxes and always get me out of a reading slump. I love Rue and Eli, my complicated traumatized babies, so much 🫶🏼🫶🏼

4.5!!

More serious than her others, but still enjoyed!
emotional lighthearted medium-paced

Das Buch habe ich gebraucht. Es ist eigentlich fast kein Plot aber manchmal muss man einfach lesen können ohne danach vom Buch fertig gemacht zu werden.

Ich war eigentlich in dem fettesten reading slump und das für 2-3 Monate, also ja, das Buch holt mich daraus. Aber man muss immernoch beachten, dass ich dem Buch nicht ohne Grund „nur“ 3 Sterne gegeben habe.

Die Beziehung der beiden kam mir vor, als mögen sie sich gegenseitig gar nicht, sondern irgendwie nur auf einer oberflächlichen Ebene. Eli kam mir etwas delulu vor, weil er wirklich seit dem Anfang gehofft hat, dass sie ihn mag, aber sie war einfach nur an seinem Körper interessiert

This was a 2 for most of the book and ended much better than it started. Character development was very uneven and I found myself wanting to skim the r-rated scenes, which I feel was the point of the book…? This is a begrudging 3.
