actually interesting how this took me longer to get through over the love hypothesis because i feel like for most people, it was the opposite. at times, it also felt too wattpad-ish. i think it was the first person pov that threw me off considering the last one was in third person. i find that i prefer that. still, i had a good time. i mean� levi practically saved this book for me. i, too, want a 6 foot 4 hot nerd.
not the best book by any means, but good enough to keep me entertained. am i still gonna read the rest of the author’s books? absolutely. i eat this shit up....more

I listened to the audiobook because it’s the only way I could get any reading progress done with the amount of schoolwork I also had to get through. II listened to the audiobook because it’s the only way I could get any reading progress done with the amount of schoolwork I also had to get through. I found that this was on Scribd and my friend has recently recommended it as well so I decided to pick it up. It’s also pretty short so that was also a deciding factor.
I think that the start was pretty solid. There were moments in this book that I liked and others that I wasn’t a fan of. Still, I enjoyed it for what it was. I just think that the ending was a bit� rushed? As in, after 11 years it felt like things were just fixed immediately idk
I had low to zero expectations going into this book and I came out surprised because I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did?
It was good—andI had low to zero expectations going into this book and I came out surprised because I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did?
It was good—and steamy. What else can I say?
Very easy read. It's hard to put it down and I'm sure I would've finished reading this in one sitting if it weren't for sleep chasing me down along with a Korean show that distracted me. I loved how we saw their vulnerability. I loved their intimacy and romance and just them pining for each other. That's all I have to say.

But I can't lie to myself and give this a high rating just going off of that. I didn't connect to this at all. I think I liked Films For Her a tad bit more but even that wasn't revolutionary. Perhaps when I revisit these books again, I'll feel differently.
I really loved the idea—prose and poetry with film photos? Just my cup of tea. However, I don't think many of the poems struck me.

I am such a sucker for film camera photos.
I had a love hate relationship with this book (I would say something about Sadie and Sam but it would be a whole novel of its own). The thing is...3/5
I had a love hate relationship with this book (I would say something about Sadie and Sam but it would be a whole novel of its own). The thing is... there was many to love about this book. I loved the intricacies when it comes to the games because I really did visualize it. I loved a lot of passages and little moments in this book. I loved how the ending paralleled the beginning. And speaking of the beginning, it had potential to become one of my favorite books when I first started reading it. It was very gripping, until it wasn't. It became repetitive, I started becoming irritated by how the main characters were acting, and then I just didn't want to pick it up anymore.
A week later, I finally finished the book and I can't help but think that this was longer than it should've been—and I am a Cassie Clare fan, I can handle massive books. 400 pages could've been cut down to 300 given the unnecessary and repetitive fights between Sam and Sadie. AND I HATED DOV FUCK HIM??????? How was he a constant part of this book, and Sadie's advisor at that? Anyway, I could go on and on about the things I disliked about this book. Long story short, I had way too high expectations given the reviews I heard from people I trust and it just didn't meet them. ...more

I LOVE SILAS AND I LOVE DOMESTIC ELISABETH AND NATHANIEL
I loved it! I loved it so much, I'm sure I would've finished it in one sitting if it weren't for me having to go to my hospital duty. Did this book haI loved it! I loved it so much, I'm sure I would've finished it in one sitting if it weren't for me having to go to my hospital duty. Did this book have phenomenal writing? No. Did I still enjoy reading it? Absolutely. In fact, I was nervous going into this because I haven't read a YA contemporary book in ages and I didn't know how well I was gonna connect with this book. But I found myself giggling and kicking my feet whenever I read Wes and Liz's banters. I also love that this was kind of an enemies-to-lovers romance minus the toxicity.
And I think I should say that I love Wes Bennett.
I heard this is getting a sequel? I AM SO EXCITED?????? But it's coming out in 2024 :/
I loved it. Truly. I wouldn't say it has become my all-time favorite but it somehow made me happy on the days I was reading it and listening to t3.5/5
I loved it. Truly. I wouldn't say it has become my all-time favorite but it somehow made me happy on the days I was reading it and listening to the audiobook. It was magical, truly like a Ghibli movie. It was a good book, a great one even. But I did feel like there was something missing.
Anyway, Silas is my king.
Some hours later, I changed my mind—I now rate this 3.5/5. I really feel like this was an okay read but that doesn't take away the fact that I had a great time while reading it. I loved Silas, I loved Elisabeth and Nathaniel (not so much individually, but them together?????????) Also, the fact that Nathaniel is mysterious without being a rude asshole is a plus and is very rare in YA fantasy.
