it took me a really long time to get behind rowan, but i absolutely adored neil + the premise of this one. reading about rowan & neil's howl adventures instantly transported me back to high school and our own grad night party, which also featured the great wheel & other places mentioned in this book. honestly, today tonight tomorrow just made me really miss seattle. major thanks to quinn & clara for reccing this one to me!

another v sweet young love story - similar concept to lynn painter’s better than the movies 

loved the seattle backdrop and nostalgia of high school moments

Cute

High school rivals get together 

Look, this book was really cute and I loved the concept, but I just think YA isn't for me any more sadly :(

I didn't mind Rowan as a main character. She felt nicely balanced and I liked her storyline of writing a romance novel and how she had to fight with others for its validity. This felt quite nice and realistic and was something I could definitely relate to. She had a bit of depth which was nice, but not enough to where I actually felt like I knew her. Like whilst writing this review, I'm struggling to actually remember anything about her

“Crush” is too weak a word to describe how I feel. It doesn’t do you justice, but maybe it works for me. I am the one who is crushed. I’m crushed that we have only ever regarded each other as enemies.


neilrowan los amo demasiado, caí enamorada de ambos
dios, es que rivales académicos que de cierta forma se ven obligados a pasar todo el día juntos, de aquí soy

“Maybe it’s the whole concept of a guilty pleasure,” Neil says gently. “Why should we feel guilty about something that brings us—pleasure?"

me gustó bastante como abarcó el amor que tiene rowan hacia las novelas de romance y los personajes femeninos, y toda esta onda de que nos hacen sentir tontas por nuestros gustos

“If I’ve learned anything from romance novels, it’s that the heart is an unflappable muscle. You can ignore it for only so long.”

es que simplemente disfruté por completo todo lo que sucedía y como poco a poco interactuaban y se acercaban más al otro

“I force my face not to fall, force my hands not to tremble. My heart, though—that’s the one I can’t control.”
