The way Ashley writes about grief is so beautiful, I have no words. The story, the characters, the author’s note! I loved it!!!...more

The middle grade level of politics/strategies killed this one for me, probably the worst book I’ve ever read in my life.
UPDATE [05/23/2024] Changed to 1 star because this is the worst book that I’ve read in my life and it deserves nothing.

The way she writes her characters stole my heart; Eileen’s story made me laugh, and tear up. I immediately empathized with her and that’s something that doesn’t happen a lot; but Poston’s way of writing emotions resonates with my soul, I saw parts of myself on her past main characters, but Eileen? I’m her, she’s me.

It’s not every day that I find a real enemies to lovers book, and I honestly wasn’t expecting it from this one; but oh boy was I wrong.

Can someone tell me why it took me so long to finally start this? I genuinely don’t understand. Two of my favorite things, Hunger Games and a villain origin story, and yet! I guess I can finally watch the movie.

That life was something she wasted, not something she had. But now, she understood how wrong she'd been. Her heart beat. Her lungs swelled with air. Life was here, right in front of her.”

It’s been a while since I last posted a review, but I’m finally back. And of course, I had to resume my ramblings with what it’s possibly my new obsession.
This is a calling to every Bridgerton stan out there: Read this book!!! Especially if you like a little touch of magic in your novels.
I loved every single character in this book, all of them have their own story and so much personality. I always love when you’re able to distinguish who said what immediately, that’s to me how you know the characters are well written.
