i love this book with my entire being

Me to Ivan: I love shiny things but i'd marry you with paper rings <3

I love Ivan Lukov with all of my heart

I had the time of my life last night reading this book, i was smiling like a fool for hours

Live footage of me reading this book:


And when I say hours I mean hours, i read from 10.30pm till 4.30am in the morning, i was invested, but what can i say, this always happenes with Mariana Zapata books, i swear she laces those pages with crack or something.

Everything in this book was perfect.

from here on out this review is riddled with spoilers you have been warned

For one, Jasmine had a personality. Now, hear me out, usually in romance books the female main character has nooo personality. She just whines and complains about worthless shit the entire book and the guy ends up carrying the entire book. But not Jasmine, she was like a breath of fresh air. she actually had a personality and i love her with my entire being.

She felt so real to me

She's also excessively funny

For example:

"did you call someones mum a dirty whore again?"

"Just one month ago he had asked me if I was ever going to go through puberty. And in reply I had told him I’d go through it when his balls decided to drop"

"Then she got detention in kindergarten twice. One girl pulled her hair, so she pulled her hair right out. Then another girl ate her snack, and she threatened to spit in her eye and the teacher overheard"

"I like little kids. I just dont like adults"

Queen energy


And the banter that she had with Ivan had me cackling

"What's Jasmines favourite colour?� She asked. He glanced at the same time the woman looked away”Red.� Then added like the children you eat


"What's Ivans favourite colour? I glanced at Ivan and made a face “Black� I answered, but mouthed like your heart




Those are some of the ones I annotated but by god at the start of the book there banter and jabs at each other were too good to be true

I dunno there's just something about romance books where the main characters have good witty funny banter.

And then when the photo shoot happened and she was going on about how she didn’t want to do it because he’d make fun of her body and he reassured her that her body was beautiful and he would NEVER make fun of it.

My heart in that moment https:


And then when they ended up doing it and he saw her naked and muttered fuck. You know that's when everything changed. He was so obsessed with her aghhhhhhhh.

Don’t even get me started on when she was sick and he took care of her. AND WHEN HE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE STALKER

I love him

And then when he dragged her to his house and the minivan with the french bulldog in time out

I was in tears, it was so good

"Why is she in time out?� I practically whispered. “Shes been giving me a lot of sass this morning, picking on her sisters, trying to steal food, peeing on one of the beds because she got in trouble�

I dont think my heart can take this

Who would have thought that IVAN LUKOV of all people would be a dog mum? Not me for certain but I loved every scene. I know that he is the best dad to his children <3

Oh yes, can we talk about Jasmine's family? I loved them, there is just something about overbearing familys that are loud and happy that give me so much comfort. And that is Jasmine's family. I love all her brothers so much they are all too funny. But i fucking hate the dad. I will personally see to him being killed. For my bae jasmine of course. He does not deserve her.

If you can't tell from my unstable rambling i love this book and you will too

I'll leave you with this

”Because i'm okay with you having ten other people as your favourite but your always going to be my favourite person�
I hope you enjoyed my unhinged review

Zoe
