A delightful reread, though I've never really understood why Simon
is the Insidious Humdrum
. Wraps up rather too quickly without an explanation that works for me.

I enjoyed the middle of this book like it was a fucking five star read,  it definitely wasn’t that but, regardless the middle was extraordinarily entertaining and the romance was, subjectively, one of the best “enemies” to lovers I’ve read. Unfortunately, you have to suffer through the first 150ish pages first. And that sucked a lot, I was very close to dnfing. The ending also wasn’t the greatest for me but I think that’s because I predicted 2/3 of the plot twists. And I can’t even feel good about that because it was so blatant. Also, I hated when I had to read from Agathas POV. I’m not sure why I loathed it so much but I truly did. Anyway, it was another ya romance that got me giggling and shit so do with that what you will. Bro this book is like the selection, it’s kinda trash but I like it?

i liked this much better the second time around. it was a little strange to read something with an actual plot again lmao.
my opinions pretty much stayed the same, i didn’t dislike agatha as much as i remembered, she was actually quite relatable, she didn’t want to be a side character in everyone’s story anymore and i can’t blame her for that.
Simon and Baz are still the ultimate ya couple and i love them for it.

Okay so I loved this book but also I loved it like a Harry Potter Fanfiction. It was incredibly fun to read but I kept picturing Hogwarts, just a bit different. Nevertheless I will definitely reread it because this was super comforting!

This book was a surprise! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it'sbeen on my radar for years and I decided to finally give it a chance. I loved the characters, the plot was intriguing, the twists were fun and made me audibly gasp in some places. Who doesn't love a good Chosen One story, and this is no different. Now I need to pick up the second book immediately!
