Love love love looooove everything
Except the start… read 14% last year and couldnt pick it up again before a few days ago. When i got past the start i couldnt put it down and read it in three days. That might be bc im not used to lynn painters writing and some words were difficult cause english is not my first language but yuh
This book made me FEEL something. Lynns writing made me feel like i knew EXACTLY how liz felt, in every single situation. Even though i kinda knew the plot from book reviews i still loved it. I love all of elizabeths nicknames too, libby, liz, buxbaum were my favs
HATED how libby treated Joss and Helena though, and Wes sometimes too, just had to put that out there
HIGHLY recommend this book for people who love a good romance (dk if anyone cares but im 14 and this was perfect for me)
