I'm not the world's most emotional reader, books don't normally make me cry. But the ending of Something Borrowed has me tearing up and sniffing in the way that only a truly perfect ending can. I love, love, love this book. The beginning was the perfect hook. I fell for Raff instantly & as soon as Stan was introduced I fell for him too.
As I'm not blind, I can't say whether the representation was good or not. But it felt like Lily Morton did her best to show Stan as a rounded character, not as a character solely defined by his blindness. He & Raff (and all of the characters, excepting the "villain" who was a bit cartoonish but that was fine) felt so real, like they could be walking around in London today. I loved all of them & really hope there will be more Confetti Hitched books ❤️
