“Is this what love feels like?” —Aiden Valen, page 411
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK, BABY! happy valentine’s day, love is in the air and is on air fr! after the slump i’ve had with romance books lately . . . oh my god. guys, this was a true romcom—i was giggling and twirling my hair at the drama and the pure love of it. it’s very contemporary, but it has the heart of a 90s/00s comfort classic romcom, do you know what i mean? you put on an old romcom and you roll your eyes because surely this is “too much” but your heart softens at the earnestness of it all—the encompassing belief that love does exist, because it’s in front of your eyes and, yeah, maybe it’s cheesy, maybe it’s overdramatic, but it’s part of the reason romcoms are so dearly loved. ugh!! this was such a perfect book to finish today.
yeah, yeah, i do have qualms: minor editing could’ve made the prose a little less repetitive at times, aiden’s anger isn’t earned yet enough from me, some character choices, maybe a little too long but i wouldn’t necessarily know where to pare it down either, etc.—but it really didn’t detract from my enjoyment. i had a blast. lucie’s fearless in her want of love and aiden’s such a delight to read warming up to her. and, jesus christ, every time they touched . . . if I was a listener in-universe, i would’ve been so parasocial. i probably would’ve imploded at the end!! would recommend if you just want a fun time :D ALSO. GORGEOUS COVER. OBSESSED!
love n light everyone fr… YAYYYY!!!
