Ho dato a questo libro 3.5 stelle.
L'inizio mi è piaciuto, l'ho trovato scorrevole e divertente, però dopo la metà a me è sembrato un po' noioso... mi ha pure fatto entrare in blocco.
I miei personaggi preferiti sono decisamente Nelson e Mei, ho adorato le loro backstories.
La relazione tra Wallace e Hugo mi ha lasciato un po' l'amaro in bocca, non riesco a capire se mi piacciono insieme oppure se gli trovo una coppia completamente random.
Ho decisamente preferito La casa sul mare celeste; ma nel complesso anche questo libro non mi è dispiaciuto.

Klune is best to read in a slump. These simple romances with dynamic character and character relationships are such an easy and fun read. Extremely entertaining.

I had a bit of a hard time getting into this one. The start is immediately captivating but it slows considerably for a while before it picks back up again. Then it really runs.

I love the main characters. Yes, even the manager. Some side characters were very one dimensional, which is fine I suppose. But a lot of them seemed to serve the same purpose. Having a raging one for Hugo. Fr

The ending,

look I’m all for the romance and the happy ending. I still don’t think Wallace should’ve been brought back to life. Unless there is a sequel in the works, then ok fine. But seriously the heartbreak of it all would’ve been so good. However, I was here for something feel good and it delivered so can’t fault it for that.

The writing is simple and easy. It does make me cringe sometimes, but like I’m a good way. Like I’m a teen again reading fic again. A bit repetitive and on the nose. However, again it’s exactly what makes it an easy read and doesn’t feel demeaning to the reader.

A cute and simple read littered with depressing ideas.
