This book was alright, but I expected better from it. There was so much waffle and unnecessary description that dragged the book out and made me bored. It took me over 200 pages to get even a little interested.
Also at the start of the book a lot of it was in Spanish without translation. I had to guess what she saying and thinking for a lot of the time.
Lina is a very annoying character who tries to seem like an independent feminist type, but in reality she’s very weak and impulsive. She was irritating and a pushover.
Aaron was clearly in love with her from the start. All the hate was made up in her mind. If a girl is that blind to others affections, God knows how she gets around the rest of her life.
Yeah, it was alright. But overall I wasn’t feeling it.

This book disappointed me after seeing the hype online. The characters were so one dimensional and the story was dragged along rather than driven.
Both of the protagonists hardly had any backbone and thought more about themselves than anyone else.
The story was so rushed at the end too.
I gave it 3 stars because it was an easy read and wasn’t terrible. But I wouldn’t recommend it or reread it.

I only bought this book because I’d read The Age of Innocence when I was seventeen. I enjoyed it and thought I’d give Wharton another chance.
I loved this book! It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a book this much. Charity faces such a hard life at such a young age once she starts to make her own decisions, admittedly not always the best ones.
When her affair goes pear-shaped, she finds herself trapped in an impossible situation, with the idea of escaping everything she’s ever known etched on her mind.
This book is so powerful and still relevant to the modern girl and woman. It’s full of the hard truth - that our decisions, no matter how big or small, could change our lives easily. Do we choose the easy life or the complicated one?

It was OK. The start of the book was better than the end. I can see why some people think it’s a beautiful story, it has its elements. But I really struggled my way through this book. I forced myself to finish it in the end. The descriptions seemed never ending and I just admit in the last 20% I just skimmed it.
For someone so old, Circe is very emotionally immature and naive. She was irritating at times. Never knew what she wanted.
I feel 3 stars was generous for what I thought of this book. Everyone told me it’s amazing and that I’ll love it. And I did love aspects of it, but not enough to ever read it again. It was far too long winded to properly enjoy.

I struggled to finish this book. It was a massive dragging disappointment. Parts of it were good, I enjoyed reading about the historical events and places she had been. But overall it was so anticlimactic and boring.
I feel like a lot of the book was unnecessary and the story could easily be condensed. Maybe the editor gave up reading it, too. I wouldn’t blame them.
I really don’t agree with the hype on this one. It was painful! And three stars was generous. I did read this in the midst of a pandemic. All it did was give me an existential crisis.
I thought I was crazy so I also had my grandmother read it. But she disliked it even more than me, so there’s that.

I honestly didn’t think this book was going to be my cup of tea but I loved it so much that I gave myself a headache from sleep deprivation.
I loved all the characters and the twists in the story! It was so interesting it was all I could think about. I’d definitely recommend it to others!
I’ve not enjoyed a book as much as this in a very long time, I’m so glad I borrowed it from a friend!
I’d warn people about possible triggers revolving around abuse and violence.

It was a decent read. Very cringe at the start, which made me want to close it and never open it again, but I persevered.
I still think It Ends With Us is Hoover’s best book. But this was a good book. I also like the character crossover with Ugly Love characters.
I feel like the story was a bit rushed, though. And unnecessarily dark. I feel like in most of her books someone has to die, have cancer, or go through something really traumatic or even all three. I feel like most of the story could’ve lived on if Kyle lived on. Maybe not so much the Mum. I don’t know, it’s just my opinion.

I loved this book! My first Emily Henry book and it definitely won’t be my last! I loved the characters, the setting, the storyline… just brilliant.
