Let’s just say this was a wonderful read!
I loved Jessie so much, I could relate to her and her feelings and she was so entertaining and hilarious<3 Loved Mel and Odelia, I never liked Cat, team Griffin<3 loved him the entire time, Levi was a character I loved at times and could hate only seconds later. I loved Ramsey too, I wish he would have appeared more throughout the book!
I loved that the characters was imperfectly perfect with their own unique personalities and flaws, they felt very real.
Khalilieh has a way with words that really reached deep in my heart<3 I cried, I laughed and for most of the time reading, I had a huge smile on my face!
I read it on fable as an e-book, it was so fun to participate in the book club and to see everyone’s thoughts as the book progressed! And I loved that Khalilieh herself gave her thoughts and fun facts, and the few times she shared cut out ”scenes”/first draft details that didn’t make the final cut, loved that<3 I really wish some of that did make the final cut tho!
This morning I was at 50% and then when I got home I couldn’t stop reading, so I binged half of the book in one sitting,I’ve literally spent five hours on fable today.
I definitely think I would have been able to binge the whole thing if I would’ve had the time!
From the moment I started it, I couldn’t stop thinking about it or it’s characters, and I only wanted to keep reading, it sucked me in in the best possible way!
I’m definitely getting a physical copy to keep on my shelf!!
Jessie Kassis will live with me for a long long time<3
