Love it like every other Alice book I’ve read/listened to! I liked Nick and Charlie more than this one but this one was still a cute little read with the focus on Charlie’s struggles!

Alice Oseman never fails! This was the first long audiobook I’ve listened to and I really enjoyed it. A very nice book and it made me love Tori even more! Now I have a better look at Michael too and I love him a lot. Someday will probably pick up a copy of this and actually sit down and “reread” it!

Love Nick and Charlie so much, they are one of my favorite couples. I don’t usually like audiobooks, but this one was just amazing. So worth listening to

I love these books so much so obviously I love this one. This took me so long to get to read since I waited for it to be available at the library. I loved how much they talked about Charlie’s ED and mental health and it was a very good aspect to put in these books. So excited to watch the TV show soon!

When I first started this book, I had no motivation to read it and was kind of iffy about it (that might be cause I read it for my school read for the unit), but then toward the end once everything started connecting I was so interested and was getting like whiplash from it all. It was truly such a beautiful book and honestly still haven’t processed it all. I recommend it a lot, especially if you’ve dealt with Greif or loss of any kind, it truly gave me a wake up call a bit and made me feel more grateful for my brother.

American Psycho is my favorite movie so obviously I liked this book, but it was a little bit traumatizing haha. Boring lot’s of times but the murder scenes are very descriptive and nothing that I’ve ever seen before so I did like that a bit.

I thought it was a great read! When I started it, it was completely not what I thought it would be and I wasn’t disappointed at all. It resembled greif really well and was described nicely. Definitely a good short read and especially good when you’re in a reading slump. :)

very cute book! I liked it a lot! I definitely learned a lot from this book too. I didn’t know really much about Bengali culture so I didn’t understand some parts but I’m glad I learned a bit more! Hani was my favorite character overall, Nik was a close second. I want to read The Henna Wars even more now too.

It was a good book! I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not because of the bad reviews I’ve seen but I did. I did get bored a lot of times but I did feel like at parts it was easy to read and I read pretty fast. The one thing that was new and bugged me at first was the fact that there was no quotation marks but after the first chapter or two I got used to it lol. Either way, It was good, but a big favorite but I definitely like it. (Now I’m gonna try watching the tv show haha)
