This book could have been 200 pages shorter and it would have been just as good if not better. The last 150 pages of it really sold me to the rest of the book (how typical of SJM).

Again, my love for this book is so unexplainable. The emotions I feel, the love, everything is just beautiful. My favorite one in the entire series 🥲

Loved every minute of this read. I experienced every emotion and ended with one of the most insane book hangovers I've ever had. Nesta's story is just so gripping. If I could I would pay to have it wiped from my memory just so I could experience it again.

I'll be honest... I still don't really like Nesta. 

ACOSF was well written but really quite slow; it took me a long while to get into fully. Certain plot points felt far too convenient, and somewhat forced, but overall it was... alright. To be completely frank, I don't get the insane amounts of hype this book gets. 

It was enjoyable enough, but completely forgettable. 3 stars.
