An incredibly sweet story. I miss reading books like this that are fun and lighthearted, nothing to be other than warm and happy and every time you think of it again, it transports you right back. The characters are so lovable and funny, you will miss them. A perfect ending too, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Mostly confused feelings about this book. You’ll either love it or hate it. I’m somehow in between, not enough to hate nor enough to love. Similar to the characters ironically, and maybe that feeling is what makes this book artistically confusing.

I literally could not put this book down so unexpectedly became obsessed with chess during this. Kept me on the edge of my seat, the characters were so funny and relatable. There was never a dull moment, you will read this all in one sitting I swear. The romance was so perfectly executed even throughout the many obstacles, twists and turns. I need a Sawyer in my life for real.

I wish I would’ve liked it more, every page was so hard to get through. Really interesting story and cool plot twists I just wasn’t the biggest fan.

Literally so so amazing I loved all three novelas in this book. How it all comes together and is just SO perfect is mind blowing to me. I felt like I was apart of this friend group, you can feel every emotion. A perfect amount of spicy and sweet, quick read! Would recommend to anyone looking to get out of a reading slump!

Would recommend this book a million times over again! It’s so captivating and the description of the nature makes you feel completely immersed into the book. Sad but truly one of my favorite reads, the movie does it no justice.

Really conflicted on this book. The storyline hooked me but honestly a bit disappointed in the outcome. Characters were generic and boring besides Bella in my opinion. Despite this I enjoyed the read, it was predictable but still suspenseful. I definitely don’t regret reading it, it’s short, sweet, sad, and infuriating all in one. Justice for Bella.
