I loved it. It was one of my favorites when I read it as a kid and I’m surprised how much I didn’t remember. Loved the relationship between them but it took me a while, almost towards the end, to feel the cuteness. It reminds me of a current relationship, did not expect to find how much this book defined me and my life. Also, having watched Wednesday so recently, it was wild seeing the similarities. The opposite roommates and their cute friendship, the dark cold girl from the weird family with seemingly no feelings. The first time I read it I gave it five stars and I was thinking of lowering it to 4 on this reread but that scene

where holmes kisses watson and tells him that’s all she can do

really warmed my heart. It was an amazing journey warming up to the character even though they drove me crazy every other page.

Eu devorei esse livro, é simplesmente maravilhoso. Não sou de ficar colocando post it nos livros, mas esse aqui tá cheio deles pq eu ficava colocando um em cada cena que eu achava legal, interessante ou engraçada. É facilmente um dos meus livros favoritos. 

P. S. : se vc tem algum TW, é bom pesquisar um pouco sobre esse livro, pq ele tem alguns, mas eles não são explicitos 

21/08/23: reli esse livro e continuo amando ele. Coloquei ainda mais post it

The great great great granddaughter of Sherlock Holmes and the great great great grandson of Dr Watson are kept from each other their entire lives. Til they meet finally at a boarding school in Connecticut. Of course you cannot have a Holmes and Watson story without murder mystery intrigue. The pace is fast and it has just the right amount of mystery with a few dark points I did not expect. Twists and turns in this whodunnit.

so intense and the dynamic between jamie and charlotte got me hooked from the very beginning. extremely slow burn but i adore the angst between them. the mystery (and book itself) was quite a lot darker than expected, and i found it super interesting
