unfortunately this book was a total miss for me. i was totally drawn into this book by the cover and even though i am not an avid f1 watcher i do likeunfortunately this book was a total miss for me. i was totally drawn into this book by the cover and even though i am not an avid f1 watcher i do like to occasionally read f1 romances when i need a switch up in the sports romance department because i tend to find them fast paced and thrilling, i love watching them jump from country to country. however quite honestly getting through this felt about as thrilling as watching paint dry.
i couldnt connect with any of these characters, every time i felt like i may start to they go and do something that annoys me. for everyones grown age all of the characters felt extremely immature.
i think that this book had the potential to be really good but with all of the time jumps literally every single chapter it felt hard to get any sense of what in the world was going on. nothing is really being shown to me just told at various stages of the book?? the bones are there but unfortunately the writing is not. its hard to care about characters and their relationships if im not being shown any of the process of them falling in/out of love, if i cant understand why phaedra (who i will not even be getting into or this’ll turn into a rage rant lmao) and her are fighting this time, etc.
i finally just had to call it quits in the middle of chapter 21, the dramatics and secrets got old fast. these two started to feel very toxic and like we were running in circles. and tbh im convinced they’d divorce in less than 6 months were this book to end in marriage. ...more
so i feel a bit conflicted on this book as i didnt hate it by any means but im also not sure i liked it very much???? there was just enough random thiso i feel a bit conflicted on this book as i didnt hate it by any means but im also not sure i liked it very much???? there was just enough random things through out that kept me interested enough in continuing to read this one.
now ill start by saying that i didnt have the highest of expectations as phantasma was fun, i wasnt in love with it but at least it was FUN.
enchantra had its moments of fun, i thought it started off pretty strong. i was giggling over gens first meeting with rowin, i loved how sassy she was and how he literally just could not be bothered but as we progressed towards the games that was where my interest in both the storyline and our main couple fell off and i found myself caring more about a fox and rowins siblings more than them ...more
WOW i am truly convinced there is no genre that julie soto cannot write.
this book had me in an insane chokehold from start to finish?! i was a littleWOW i am truly convinced there is no genre that julie soto cannot write.
this book had me in an insane chokehold from start to finish?! i was a little hesitant when this book was first put on netgalley as i tend to only really read YA when its fantasy, but im so happy i decided to give it a shot with the audio!! it was incredible how well julie wrote out every single character, i felt like i was constantly being pulled in different directions with each friend whether or not i wanted to trust them or like/dislike them. all of the characters in this book felt extremely real and flawed and it really threw me back in time to my experiences and feelings as a teenager (and making me SO fucking happy i am no longer one ...more
