"Ehhh. Hmmm.
Expected heartache.
Emotional highs? Hardly.
Enjoyed half (the first),
endured half (the second).
Expectations: huge.
Emily Henry. Evelyn Hugo?
Ending…Eh. "

"alright i think i'm ovulating but hear me out

i kind of loved this? lmao. diem was pretty irritating and frankly kind of stupid. but i was entertained the entire time, no part of this lagged for me. which is my chief complaint when it comes to KU romantasy. there's always a mid point slog. not really the case here.

and ya know, lady hormones or whatever... but i was kinda into the romance?? was not at all into it at the beginning but by the end i was like hm. alright. i'm intrigued. i think specifically because it didn't do the typical romantasy thing i've been seeing in pretty much EVERY book where the hero and heroine kiss/hook up whatever in book 1. a betrayal happens. and then they are apart when the second book starts.

like yawn with the repetition. here feels like a touch more of a slow burn. thank fuck.

anyway i am YEARNING to start the second book but instead i get to read some contemporary KU best sellers. i'll be back for you soon, bb."
