Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

5.0

i love this so much T__T everything was so freaking magical. honestly one of the most romantic pieces of media i’ve ever consumed. the writing was immaculate! the words are beautifully & intricately woven together that i found myself in awe of how they’re able to elicit some of the rawest of my emotions. iris & roman found solace in each other through their words, and it felt like the author was doing the same to the readers. this book moved me. iris & roman’s story — both the story they created together & their individual narratives — touched me in ways i didn’t expect. i especially love how they found home in each other amidst all the chaos in the world. their love was the kind that will accompany you through your darkest nights & embrace you on days where you feel like enclosing urself in a hard armor. a love that drives u to remove a piece of ur armor, allowing them to see and admire you as you are. a love that will allow you to understand and mend some of the broken pieces of yourself. it’s a love that will hold you close and assure you that you are worthy of affection, even on the days when you couldn’t even believe it yourself. especially on those days. i loved most of the characters, save for those i don’t even want to mention. even as side characters, they are layered and have stories to tell to the world.

this book was full of heart. so profound & soul-stirring. so glad i picked this up bc i feel like it’s made for me
