This book had my ribbing my fucking feet together like a cricket! It was a cute story with some spicy scenes. This was one of my first Emily Henry books and it didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to read her other ones.

It was cute but I got a lot of fluff… it needed more smut. 
I’m sorry you both had rough childhoods but you’re together now and the past won’t change from just talking about it.🤷‍♀️ 

Kinda saw the big twist from the beginning, besides that no complaints with the writing.

I liked this book. It’s alway a little hard to get into a book with three timelines but in the end it works out right? I did love the idea of the reincarnated lover and the idea that we will find our soulmate in every timeline.
I was surprised to see that this was the author debut novel because it was fleshed out and well written. I didn’t have trouble with the plot or the following characters.

Man I didn’t expect to cry at this book but I guess that’s what happened. It’s so frustrating having to read miscommunications tropes but we got through it in the end. This story could’ve use more smut but that’s just me.

This was my first Katee Roberts book and color me impressed. It was short and sweet and very spicy. I will be reading the rest in the series because of how quick and fun the stories are, plus I love the covers!

I was actually surprised by this book. We picked it for nostalgia book club, and I didn’t think anything about it. You know just another book but it got me. Part three especially! The story was great, Collins does a wonderful job at explaining the world but also making it short and sweet.
I would consider continuing with this series but at a different time.

Three words for you - “the fucking cliffhanger!” I can’t wait for this season to end. I love this story so much but I would be nice to have a good conclusion. In other words, I’m so happy they are publishing an actual book! I can’t wait!

I was really dragging my feet starting this one, but after two chapters I got with it and ended up liking it. The story was interesting but well written and good pacing. The story cut through a lot of the boring parts and got the meat of the plot.

For being a teen anthology, it wasn’t bad. Some of the stories were kinda boring but others really hit home.
My top three stories were:
Omega ship
Unus, Duo, Tres
Vega

This was a good book, In the beginning I was like this is just an Arabian nights retelling but the moment we find out what Sophie is! OH MY GOD, I couldn’t get enough of it! Great plot twist at the end.
