reading tiktok's most popular books - can booktok hype be trusted?? 📈🤔

i loved the writing i loved the way that the multiple povs were woven together like a tapestry i loved the sincerity and the humor and the characters were so special they jumped off the page they felt real

i talked about this a little bit back when i reviewed spoiler alert which started as a fan fiction of game of thrones and focused on the actor who plays jamie that i found it in poor taste to create a character that is so clearly a very specific person who is still alive and then to write graphic sex scenes about them

it's certainly not a perfect book but i have to say i was very pleasantly surprised by this book and i really enjoyed it

i will say even though i haven't finished it of course so far this book is really amazing and i am pretty certain unless the second half really goes off the rails that i'll be giving it five stars

i found myself chuckling pretty often while i was reading it was easy to get through lighthearted i liked olive well enough our protagonist she was a little bit of a blank slate which i think is pretty common from my experience with reading contemporary romance and then adam the love interest was even more of a blank slate than olive unfortunately his personality was basically just being grumpy

i gotta say this book didn't really work for me
