this book is UGH!! i love men written by women!! this book has it all honestly, such a great romance novel. the only thing is this book should have a trigger warning for eating disorders. other than that so so so GOOD!! i love nate so much i wish he was mine and henry is such a baby girl you can’t not love him.

so this book was amazing but also wasn’t terrible. easy read. the second short story got me in the heart and tears were shed. my beef with the book is since it was translated it felt kinda flat and blah. i don’t think the translation translated, if you know what i mean. still a good book just nothing amazing

this book is so incredibly well written. beautiful descriptions all throughout the book. it was hard for me to fall in love with either of the main characters cause they each had faults but not enough redeeming qualities for me to fall in love with them. the last two chapters though do make your heart ache for giovanni but not enough for it to be a cry worthy moment. all in all it was a great book and very easy/fast to read

this book is just a great book. it’s an easy read and has very thing you want. it’s got romance, angst, suspense, mystery, and some spice. it almost reads like a fan fiction and i think that’s why i enjoyed it so much. there were some parts that did come off as a bit cheesy but it’s still a great book. also the spice level was very mild.
