I have a lot to say about this book, I'll do it soon....more

'White Nights' is a touching novella set in St. Petersburg during the magical time of year when night never fully falls. The story creates a dreamy atmosphere where time feels suspended. Dostoevsky beautifully depicts the characters' emotions and struggles, their dreams shining in the soft, perpetual twilight. The unique light of the white nights enhances the bittersweet romance and deep reflections, making it a timeless tale of human connection and loneliness.
The emotional depth, lyrical prose, and the dreamlike portrayal of St. Petersburg's twilight left a lasting impression on me.
I have never doubted Dostoevsky's writing, and for good reason. His ability to capture the essence of human emotion and weave it into beautifully crafted prose is unparalleled. 'White Nights' reaffirmed my admiration for his literary genius....more

'The Awakening' by3.5�
I didn't expect to enjoy this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was completely hooked and impressed by how it turned out.
'The Awakening' by Kate Chopin explores a woman's struggle for independence in a restrictive society. The story follows Edna Pontellier, who tries to break free from the traditional roles of wife and mother imposed by 19th-century norms. Chopin addresses themes of identity, personal freedom, and societal expectations. The novel challenges traditional views of femininity and highlights the personal cost of pursuing one's desires against rigid social structures. It remains a powerful commentary on the limitations placed on women and their quest for individuality and self-expression.
This is the kind of book that requires patience, as it deals with complex topics like infidelity. The deeper you delve into it, the more you recognize its significance as a powerful statement....more

I loved every single moment Nico & Lily shared. Their chemistry is unmatched. The sexual tension was perfect. The longing stares, the quick touches, the almost kisses� I LOVED IT. ALL OF IT.
One of my favorite things about this book was Nico's POV. He is such a simp for Lily. And it made me so happy whenever he talked about Lily like she was a goddess and he wanted to serve her all his life. Also, the efforts Nico took & the little things he did to make Lily happy is awe-inspiring. He is perfect. They are perfect.
Their relationship was everything. They started with absolutely nothing but little crumbs of each other. But as they slowly started traveling together & grew closer, they started to explore their attraction for each other. It was very well written, I could not stop reading.
Even as an individual, both Nico & Lily had a story to tell about their struggle, and we could see the personal growth by the end of the book. I am so glad that Lily took her time to heal and Nico gave her space. And when they finally reunited, I was at peace.
The notes Nico left in Lily's journal had me tearing up. Get yourself a man like Nico.
I absolutely 1000% recommend this book. Especially for the romcom lovers who also love smut. GO READ IT.
