I really loved this poetry book, you can tell the writer but a lot of their soul and passion into their poems, I could relate and feel every word.

There were poems that made me laugh and smile...however there were poems that made no sense and were confusing. But overall this was a good read.

I enjoyed this book, I liked the representation of Athena and how she didn't meet the standard beauty standards. The chemistry between the main leads was great and it had moments of humor. 

However there were sometimes where I did lose interest, it took a while to warm up to.

I really enjoyed reading this book, the chemistry of the characters and even the build up of their relationship; I loved how you got the insight into the main leads backgrounds and how that interlinks with their decisions. 

However, this book did take me a really long time to finish. I feel like it didn't have to be that thick of a book, I had to take several breaks.

I think it was a good read, there was a mixture of romance with action plus there were parts that were good like humour and chemistry. Maybe it's cos Love Hypothesis set the bar, but I had mixed feelings about this book. I believe it didn't have to be a long book, it could have been shortened down; cos of this it felt long winded. With that, it only started to get better near the end.

I really enjoyed this book, I loved that it not only included the main characters storyline but other characters storylines as well. I do wish there was a little bit more deeper romance though πŸ˜
