okay, ali has consistently put out books that top the ones she had written before, but i don’t think this one managed that for me. HOWEVER, please don’t take this the wrong way, bc i absolutely LOVED it!! honestly i doubt there will ever be a book ali writes that i don’t eat up and obsess over, and again this one did NOT disappoint! i really loved scarlett and her journey and honestly i feel like she’s one of the best protagonists that ali has written so far. i can’t explain it but she had sm depth and character and honestly she was a little TOO relatable lol

what i think made this not a top fave for me is that i expected more from lukas tbh… i felt like he didn’t have as much personality as other ali mmc’s, and i just couldn’t fully connect to him? like he is the love interest but many times i felt like he was just THERE. however, some of the things he said had me fucking SCREAMING like SIR?!!! anyway, i would sell my soul to my queen ali if she asked me to, and i would 1000000% read her grocery list okay
