I loved this book with all my heart. I love the development and how the author takes time to build up to the ending and how she builds up the relationship between Nathaniel, Elizabeth and Silas. I must say Silas was Definitely my favorite character. He was incredibly funny without trying and I love the comments on how Nathaniel dresses. I loved him so much. This book bought me so much joy and I’m definitely buying the new one

This book was so good. Oh my God. I don’t know why I put it off for a year.

As I was reading it, I felt like I was watching a movie — I can’t explain. This book needs to be made into a movie.

Elisabeth and Nathaniel were such a cute couple, I actually cannot. WHEN HE CALLED HER A MENACE AT THE END 😭😭😭😭😭. Screaming and throwing up.

Also, I cannot believe Elisabeth is 6’3. When I found out, my jaw literally dropped. But it’s about time there’s a book where the girl is taller than the guy. 

OMG. WHEN NATHANIEL SAID HE LIKES BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS I LITERALLY SCREAMED. IT WAS SO UNEXPECTED. His sexuality may not have been mentioned much, but I think a little representation can go a long way. You don’t see many bisexual characters in books. ALSO, Katrien is aromantic, I think???? There was a comment about her not being interested in romance at all.
