Read it with book club and it was such a fun book. I like that Levie was not written as super good looking but he was the main love interest

I like that the sisters are so different from each other but they still find each other in the end!

Another comfort reread. Honestly, I was just too devastated after the atrocity that is the love story in Daughter of the Moon Goddess that I just needed some concrete, unfailing love that is contemporary romance novels.

Love love loved this. Finished it in about 2 sittings. I haven't had time to truly read books in almost 10 years. I've started many but they've never captured me as much and made me complete them. I think it definitely helped me that I started with the Mangas and they got me HOOKED cuz the series is ongoing and I coul n't wait any longer so I read the novel. I've fallen in love with the characters and wanted more. I found the fanfiction portions a bit cringy but I love Cath and relate to her deeply (as a fellow fangirl with poor social skills and anxiety). I loved seeing her grow

"She had to make him another omelet." 🥹 My god, this was not destined to be a 5 star read, but it so so so was. I connected so deeply, in my heart and soul and stomach, with Cath, right from the beginning. And Wren, Reagan, Levi, Dr. Piper, and Art, even Courtney, Nick, and Laura—the whole cast did such justice to the beauty, fragility, strength, brokenness, wit, and charm of Cath.

Trigger warning: mentally unstable family 
Fun read, but it was hard for me to get through. Not enough character development for how traumatized some of the characters are.

A good fluffy read if you want to explore how the character experiences their first year of university and how they navigate the new and changing dynamics in their life.
