This thing was a brick and I definitely went back and forth between the physical book and the audio book you can see my tabs in there for Nesta and Cassian but yeah this book was giant I really enjoyed it.
end of year book tag ππ πβ¨ | favorite books, disappointing reads, best book couples & more!
I felt like the idea of a coffee shop that allows you to go back in time and like interact with people from your past was a really unique idea and there were all these like cool rules and stuff that like went with the time travel and I just felt like it was a great opportunity to have really unique and deep conversations but I just felt like the execution wasn't my favorite.
I was really surprised by how much I connected with the story of this like band coming together I just absolutely loved it.
Favorite book of the Year I'll say it I loved that book so much and to me this relationship felt the most real any romantic like romance relationship has ever felt to me ever.
What does disease look like in our future what does aging look like in our future what does AI look like in our future and I loved these conversations.
I honestly really enjoyed the storytelling in this book it's like about relationship abuse and there's a really unique way of like telling two timelines through like diary entries some people don't like that I personally really loved it and I just connected with the romance in this so much more than I thought I would.
I think I literally rated it like two or 2.5 Stars the tropes in here not my favorite the miscommunication very prominent.
I loved this relationship because we have two timelines so you have Macy and Elliott when they're young and then them in the present after something went wrong.
It was just devastating and heartbreaking and also so gorgeous and I was constantly asking myself like how do you come out of this experience and produce something so beautiful.
I love Christina Lauren love other words and then also my favorite half night stand are two of my all-time favorite books like literally top tier love them so much.
It was just so fascinating and so beautiful and like her connection with these animals and how one with these parts of Africa and again these beautiful creatures that she was and is was just breathtaking to me.
I think it would technically be categorized as a dark romance if that's the case I think dark romances just aren't for me and I did rate it one star I really didn't like it.
I'm not saying that this wasn't good because this world was so beautiful and magical and the writing was quite honestly Exquisite I just didn't connect with the characters and also just the plot in the way that the hype led me to think that I would if that makes sense.
This was one of my favorite books of the entire year I absolutely loved this story.
I read this a few months ago highly recommend definitely recommend this Edition because it's beautiful and if I had more shelving I would I would display it because it's so beautiful and I love it.
I feel like this had a really deep impact on me and made me really grateful for the things in my own life.
I read the housemade by Freda mcfaden this year and ate it up oh my goodness absolutely ate it up I'm not a huge mystery thriller person I only read a few per year but I really loved the like fast-paced writing style and I definitely want to read more of her work in the future.
I've read song of Achilles I've read Percy Jackson I love a good Greek retelling.
I didn't necessarily love like the storytelling if that makes sense like the writing itself wasn't like my absolute favorite thing ever but I thought the concept was really unique and something I had not seen before.
