i have a few gripes with the way gus thinks everyone was a waste of time except for january in school, but i guess it fits his angsty vibe? also january saying dumb bunny is weird. some typical romance tropes like the leaning and “dark eyes,” but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the book overall. it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a good introduction to romance if you’re looking for one.

I did enjoy reading the book, it was a lighthearted story of discovering the meaning of love and the consequences it brings with it. All of this while running a classical bet, that eventually unfolds the answers Augustus and January we’re looking for during the book.
Although I enjoyed the book, I have to admit that I didn’t like the characters as much as I would’ve love to. Their development is present, but I would’ve loved to see both characters express more than what they did. I wanted to like Augustus’ character more but he was a complex character with a lot of work to be done. While January was living in this fairytale world until she finally opened her eyes and saw the reality of things.
This book is a good romance book, for those who are looking for a story where there’s borderline miscommunication and lots of pinning for each other.
