thanks netgalley for sending me the e-arc of this book.
this was BY FAR one of the easiest-reading book I've had the pleasure to deal with this year.
i had some difficulties feeling "involved" in the story at first but during the second half of the book it all changed completely. i didn't feel like i "knew" the characters but i found it very interesting because i kinda felt like knowing them better along side Wren, the main character. more he knew more i felt included. i'm not usually a fan of "in first person" narrations, mostly because i need to know everything immediately, but this time it felt like the right choice to make.
speaking of characters, i fell in love too many times while reading this book. everyone was so lovely in their own way and Wren is very relatable most of the time. i liked him a lot as a main character
i initally requested the arc because of the asexual rep and i'm glad to say it did not disappoint at all. i liked how it was talked about, even if superficially, and how the word asexual was repeated many times. it's nice seeing it not being treated like a bad word.
i started for the ace rep and i stayed for the plot. it was nothing new, nothing never seen before BUT it really kept me reading like i didn't know what could have happened next. some plot twist were so "clear" i did not expect them to happen at all.
the romance part was absolutely stunning, it kept me interested and it was never boring (when it's actually easy for me to be bored by a romantic plot) and it also made me really jealous of wren from time to time.
