Do you miss Harry Potter but are avoiding JKR? Do you also kind of wish Draco and Harry kissed a little? Then this book is for you!

Fun, witty, magical, cheeky, with a bitter sweet emotional core. I am definitely continuing with the series and also picking up Fan Girl for some super meta fun!

This book was perfect! I loved everything about it. It was magic, it was academics, it was quirky and silly and then turned around and was serious and deep. This book had surprising plot twists and characters that I loved and who made me laugh and gasp. Multiple perspective and more but I don’t want to spoil any of the fun! Read it if you want a fun time.

I went into this book completely blind; I didn't know about how it ties back to "Fangirl" and I really liked it. It's pretty much its own thing (ignoring the obvious influence). 

If you don't mind a fantasy story that doesn't rock the boat too much and has a little silliness, I can't recommend this book more.

Kinda been stressed lately, so I needed a comfort read and this was available on Libby, so here we are! Just what I needed before vacation.

I was just in the mood of a re-read of something, and reading Rainbow Rowell's new book put this in my head! Plus, I've never listened to the audio, and that's always a fun experience. Seeing how these characters are brought to life in the narration. And the narrator for this book is pretty good!

As per usual fashion, I finished this whole book in a day, and I love it each time I re-read it. This will be the first time I re-read it since the whole trilogy has been out, so I'm excited to see how they all read next to each other!

found this book funny and entertaining, due in no small part to the audiobook narrator. the pacing felt slow at the end and rainbow rowell needs to remember that bisexual is a term that exists though

A cute, lighthearted, quick read that is very similar to Harry Potter, if Harry Potter was a chaotic bisexual who gets with a Draco Malfoy-esque vampire.
