will & nico <3 can't wait to read the sun and the star.
overall, while it takes immense patience to get through book 1&2, i'm so happy with how this series turned out.

i mostly wish it was longer. the ending probably could've been better paced if there was more room. but overall i adored this book!

i thought it was adorable. alex & henry are adorable. i also adore the women of this book so much. june, nora, bea all truly deserve the world.
i do wish this book was faster in the beginning. it feels like it started off slow and then picked up a lot of speed towards the end instead of having one even pace. i also think rafael luna did not deserve forgiveness. i do not like him. i sympathize with his backstory but good lord i wish alex and his family didn't forgive him. it didn't make any sense to me.
overall, i would recommend this book mostly for the romance.

did i still have fun? yes!
i had trouble getting into this book, especially since the switch from 3rd to 1st person through me completely off guard. furthermore, bee is kinda whiny. but i LOVED her and levi.
idc how many times ali hazelwood writes similar STEM romances - i will enjoy every single one. it is her niche and her charm, for sure.

this sequel was kinda unnecessary in my opinion but it was beautiful. ari has one of the most beautiful character arcs i've ever read. the first one is still miles better but i still thoroughly enjoyed this!

oh my god. i love adam and olive SO MUCH
docked 0.75⭐️ for...that one comment, iykyk. but minus that, i loved this slowburn and was giggling & kicking my feet the whole time!
i will say -- as someone who is demisexual, i wish the author put more effort into olive's relationship with her sexuality. it was still nice to see, but there should've been more.
