Reread bc I forgot everything since reading it for the first time like 10 years ago. I liked the premise and most of the characters, but I can't help but feel a little creeped out by some of their behaviour. Like why is this a YA book and the love interest and his buddies constantly comment on how dangerous hanging out with them could be and how the MC should not e.g. go to the basement with "three strange guys". I get they're trying to be mysterious but could this not be portrayed in any other way? And why was I confused about whether or not she kind of fancied her stepbrother-to-be in the beginning? I feel like there shouldn't be any uncertainty...
I also think I'm slowly getting to old to really enjoy YA, or it was maybe just this one bc I was cringing so hard at the outfit choices or some dialogue (which seems fitting for teenagers!! and teenage readers!)...
What I did really like was that there was no unnecessary plot to reveal how the MC and MMC feel for each other, he was always quite upfront about it.Slay, Henry!

Misschien ben ik gewoon iemand die af en toe een simpel boek wil lezen, maar I love this. Ik heb dit boek vroeger heel vaak gelezen en ik vind hem nog steeds leuk.
Soms een beetje cringy? Ja. Maar wat verwacht je als je als 20-jarige een boek leest wat gemaakt is voor jongere meiden?
We love Henry, we love het concept van droomdeuren, we love Kerstin Gier
