Thank you so much to the author and Berkley Publishing for gifting me an E-ARC of this books!
To start off, I originally watched the show and LOVED it. I’m so happy they are finally releasing the books in English. The translator did a perfect job taking these from German to English and I was never confused by grammar or wording used.
I was a little scared going into this since I already watched the show but I loved the book just as much!! I really enjoyed that the book focused a bit more on only James and Ruby’s relationship and we got a lot more cute little moments between them that really developed their relationship. They were too cutie in this book and I enjoyed imaging the tv show actors while reading all the scenes. Some parts I was even able to pick out exactly from the show!!
Overall, the plot was good and including more than the show did as I said before. I’m so upset about that ending though like why did that have to happen. 😭 It’s okay though, I’m going to trust the process. Other than that I don’t have much else to say since I’ve watched it before reading it but yeah I just love this whole book and universe so much.
I really liked Ruby’s relationship with Lydia in this. They seemed to have developed more of connection and friendship and it seemed really special. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing their friendship grow more in the rest of the series.
While I was really addicted to reading this, I rated it 4.5 stars because it did start off a little slow. Also that ending was just too upsetting. 😔 But overall I still loved it so much and I hope everyone who was obsessed with the show loves it as much as I did!! I CANNOT wait to read the next book and I’m so excited that Berkley accepted my ARC request for that one as well!!
Definitely recommend this one guys!!

DNF. I figured this book would be set at college/university. But it's a high school rich kid drama. It does not fit the dark academia tag and it feels very misogynistic.
