I thought I would love this book...
The tikok hype made me buy this book, but the book really was not for me.
I didn't care about the characters and I think it shouldn't be that way when I read a book.
I dnf the book, just because I thought it would be a waist of time for me:(

This book was so phenomenal!!
I could not stop thinking about this book and I could not put it down.

Never expected liking this book because it was so hyped on tiktok and I was so wrong about that.
There were so many plot-twists that I didn't see coming and Pip and Ravi were so lovely together.
I just needed to rate this book 5 stars because it was so good!

I loved to read this book!!
It brought me so much fun to read it and I fell in love with the characters easily.
Matt and Grace were so beautiful together and I loved the start of their story so much!!
This book made me feel like I was with them in New York.
The vibe the book had was just so beautiful to me.
I didn't expect any plots and I must say I wasn't a big fan of their miss communication, but it was a book I would wish to read again for the first time.

Very enjoyable fun read!!
I loved very much the concept of the book and how the characters developed through out the book.
I had times when I hoped Billy or Daisy would act differently, but I guess it's how some things were supposed to happen for them.
Billy and Daisy really grew on me and I liked how the story turned out, but not because of that sad ending because of the realness to it.

I thought it was a very easy and fast read, but I did not fully enjoy some moments in the book and it gave me fanfiction vibes.
I would say it wasn't bad at all, but it was for me too many sad things that happened to them.
I also enjoyed the character Atlas a lot, if he wasn't my favourite...I loved Marshall as well.

I liked the message behind the short story.
It was a fast read and it made me think about the question more if he was in the right to kill the elephant or not.

I always imagined it to be very different than it actually was.
I loved reading it and it was fascinating to follow Evelyn's life story.
I did fall in love with the side character Harry Cameron, he was just loveable!!
I couldn't put the book down because the plot was just breath taking..
