the quotes in this are just perfect. made me reflect on life. 

gosh i just love how you get to know Margo throughout this book, and Quentin changes his perception of her as well. like the Margo he knew was this 2D girl that was special to him, but not that different from other girls, but you get to learn about Margo’s quirks and her personality through him WITHOUT HIM REALIZING IT HIMSELF. god i loved it.

I love that Lily and Atlas found their way back together, but it was very predictable. Then ending up together was what i was hoping for, although i wasn’t shocked when they did. 

One thing i loved was that the title was more about Atlas and

Josh’s

relationship more than Lily’s relationships.

A thing i didn’t like and will never be okay with are the modern references like “gen z” and tiktok-language. And it was some of that in here.

She cries a lot. Why does she cry so much? And the tiktok references.. i physically cringed multiple times.
it was just the love hypothesis but with different characters.

Loved the whole “enemies to lovers” trope, but i just couldn’t understand why they were enemies.. did she hate him because he said he didn’t find her pretty? And did she start liking him because he liked her and he was rich? it’s a mystery.
