loved this book so much! it sucks you in pretty quickly into yadriels world and despite it being a quicker read than some, you feel super attached to all the characters. even juliens friends, who we spend pretty little time with, feel 3D and like real people. luckily i bought this book (it’s hardcover is gorgeous i had to) so i can reread it a ton

really loved this book! was such a nice read. my only complaint is that they didn't utilize the full potential of the fake dating trop. fake kissing, fake holding hands, etc.

god this book,, genuinely one of my favorites now. it was so captivating and

made achilles three dimensional without making you sympathize if that makes sense?

idk just genuinely such a good book, it’s heart wrenching and ugly and beautiful at the same time. on my list to buy to re read after returning to the library
