Loveable characters: Yes

In dit boek volgen we drie personages, elk hoofdstuk een ander. Dat zorgt ervoor dat je dit mysterieuze verhaal van alle kanten belicht krijgt en weet wat ze doorstaan. Aan de andere kant zorgde dat er bij mij voor dat het was lastig in komen was in het verhaal.
We volgen Henry die op zoek is naar de verborgen boekwinkel en Opaline, Martha blijkt de sleutel tot dit verhaal. Ik was gefascineerd door dit boek, wilde het graag uitlezen en was erg benieuwd naar hoe het zou eindigen, zouden ze de boekwinkel vinden? Door het verhaal heen leren we de personages steeds beter kennen, en alle heftige dingen die ze hebben meegemaakt. Het verhaal had op bepaalde punten wel wat meer tempo kunnen gebruiken, nu moest ik me er soms wat doorheen slepen, maar toch geen seconde gedacht om het niet uit te lezen.

i gave this one a 2/5. the pacing was just way too slow for me. so many unnecessary details and small talk that didn’t add much. what’s frustrating is: those ‘unimportant’ talks could’ve been way more interesting if written differently. yesterday i made it to 50% and still didn’t feel any excitement, just a lot of back and forth without real progress.

also.. i didn’t like how the author kinda glorified cheating. like.. how are you IN A COMMITED RELATIONSHIP—suddenly kissing someone else out of town..? that part really threw me off.

overall, i kinda agree with what some people said. it felt like it was written by a middle schooler. definitely overhyped. sorry if that sounds harsh.. but yeah. just being honest.

A lovely little read, with heaps of beautiful quotes. I love a book with that special magic in it and this book did it well. There was a point in the middle where I thought I wasn't going to finish but I am so glad I did. The two main female characters both deserve the world and I'm glad magic found them. The quotes and ending made me want to give 4 stars but I can't let go of not wanting to finish the book.

DID NOT FINISH: 34%

The book moved a little too slowly for me and based on some other reviews, I was concerned that the content might get too stressful for me. So, I skimmed the rest of the book. It seemed like a good story overall but not at this time for me.
