4/5 stars

such an interesting fantasy read. really loved the twists, but the ending was really sad. excited to see where the story takes us in the next book!

4.5/5 stars

cried over this book, the first in years. i love the characters, like it really felt like i know them personally. i feel like the author could've delved so much more into the current political landscape of the philippines but we're seeing everything in the eyes of a filipino-american, one that hasn't gone back to the country in a long time so i guess it still works. and it's actually a good primer for non-filipinos about our culture, and the current administration (which fucking sucks btw).

easily one of my best and fave reads this year, i really recommend everyone to check this out!

4/5 stars

wasn’t a big fan of the ending but i’m excited to see how they’ll adapt this for the big screen

4.5/5 stars [feb ‘22 re-read]
okay, it was so much better a second time around!



4/5 stars

really, really, really cute. just what i needed to start off my weekend. it's light, but it's also really realistic. i found that i had the same thoughts that charlie had while he was still unsure about his crush on nick. i'm just sad that volume 2 isn't available in my local bookstore yet. will probably re-read this when i have my hands on the sequel!

5/5 stars

wow….drawn, high school characters are really out here making me feel single.

alice oseman really went in with this volume, can’t wait til our local bookstore restocks the fourth one

2.5/5 stars

felt like i was misled because this was shelved under horror/thriller when it wasn’t that at all. would’ve been a good mystery as well but the story was really predictable and the writing was just alright.

4/5 stars
