O que raio foi isto no fim?? Wtfffff
Preciso de ler o próximo livro e ver a série asap

Ik heb hier onverwacht veel lol mee gehad. Het was een inkijkje in het hoofd van een eerstegeneratiestudent, en ondanks dat het boek niet zo bedoeld is vind ik dat wel een heel groot pluspunt. Je ergens niet thuis voelen en werelden gescheiden houden omdat ze elkaar niet begrijpen - dat is wat eerstegeneratiestudenten doen.

Hoe de main characters steeds meer begrip kregen voor elkaars wereld en de vooroordelen die ze over elkaar hadden verder werden ontkracht, was mooi gedaan. De romance was daar eigenlijk een gevolg van en dat kan ik waarderen.

Tot slot nog een short out voor een van de beste seksscenes die ik ooit heb gelezen. Wat mooi.

This book was everything! It's translated from German (original title: 'Save Me') and I really do hope for everyone out there that it gets translated in English as well, because I loved it so much! Keep an eye out for books by Mona Kasten (I think her other series got translated though.. begin again, etc.)

Ruby and James are exactly the opposites. She wants to dissapear, let no one know her. He is the king of the school, the handsome rich kid that can do anything he wants. Or so it looks like.. when he goes to far, the principle punished him with joining the activities committee, where Ruby has the lead. And Ruby is his sworn enemy, since she saw something no one can know...

The vibes of this school are amazing. It's an old building, it feels very much like a castle or old cloister or something. Which is super cool. When they organise a themed party (will not spoiler the theme yet), it fits so well within these vibes.

And then the romance, I absolutely love it. It's slow sometimes, but it burns and it explodes. I just fell hard for James and Ruby! I really couldn't handle the ending, luckily part 2 is coming soon!

The show was pretty cute so I thought, why not give the books a try???? Nevermind though, I suffered through the first book and won't read the rest. This was comically bad and awkward. The internal monologues of the main characters were so cringey. The fact that I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it probably made it worse. Everyone is more likeable in the show, but having read spoilers for the next books I'm worried about the show becoming awful as well. Oh well.
