Gostei bastante mas ainda prefiro beach read. Não gostei da miscommunication ter rolado em quase 90% e nem da parte que a poppy se declara > alex rejeita > alex vai atrás > tudo fica bem, achei meio anticlimax, todo mundo sabe que eles vão terminar juntos, o slowburn já tinha durado 70% do livro, não precisava ter mais esse Susto. Amei o alex mas não gostei muito da poppy, ela é divertida e a relação deles é linda (mundinho sunshine x grumpy aqui) mas foi muito dificil pra mim fingir que me importo (ou entendo) a infelicidade dela, achei dramático & privilegiado demais. Enfim, muito bonitinho, amei o friends to lovers, as historias sao Quirky, eu amooo a escrita da emily henry, mas sigo muito january e augustus stan.

É tão bobinho, nem parece da mesma série. O mundo é pouco criativo, o “conflito” se resolve do nada, tem muito tell dont show, no geral não gostei. As personagens são legais mas achei pouco desenvolvidas, principalmente a regan, sendo que ela tinha questões sérias ali e a seanan resolveu focar que ela era horse girl e fazer disso toda a personalidade dela. Queria ter visto mais dela lidando com o crescimento e com a descoberta da amizade. Tudo muito underwhelming.

Odiei que ela tenha ido pra outro mundo sendo que tinha uma familia super feliz e depois de 6 anos lá ainda volta pra casa.
