That happened to me I’m left with so many questions, I’m wondering what was real. The plot is so interesting and engaging. It’s incredibly fast paced and I just love everything about it
“Sleep now,” he whispers. “Sleep until I am the only thing you can think about…”
“Barbi.” He sighs, though a smile pulls at his lips. “You speak an average of two hundred and five words per minute when you are excited.” “Two hundred and five?” My lashes flutter. “That is a very exact number…” “Of course.” He nods. “I counted.” “You…counted?” He proudly nods again.
“You are so beautiful,” he murmurs in a low voice. I tip my chin down, suddenly shy. “This is the first time you’ve told me that.” “Really? My bad. I should tell it to you daily. You are absolutely stunning, Barbs.”
For all the girlies who wish they could travel to their favorite book world and fall in love with a fictional character. And for all the girlies who would choose the villain over the hero. Barbi’s favorite color might be pink, but I know yours is morally grey. ...more

5 stars Listen here if you don't like this book, I won't take it personally (okay maybe just a little,) but to me this was absolutely perfect. Is this 5 stars Listen here if you don't like this book, I won't take it personally (okay maybe just a little,) but to me this was absolutely perfect. Is this book sad and deals with heavy topics 100%, but I really enjoyed learning in depth about Claire and Gibsie. They're romance is everything but seeing Gibsie face his demons really made feel happy. He's known as the clown but it's truly a facade to hide the inner turmoil inside. I recommend this series with my whole heart.
"You're the only person who can hold my attention. It shifts and wanders off on just about everyone else. But not you. Never you." "I love you, Claire." "I love you, too, Gerard...A lot."
Honorable mention to: --->Johnny & Shannon --->Ollie & Tadgh & Sean --->Joey & Aoife & AJ ---> Johnny's parents (pls adopt me.) --->Hughie & Feely

No wordsSecond Read:5 ✨ First Read:4.5✨ ~ This book is heartbreakingly beautiful. I won’t be surprised if I raise my rating sometime in the near future. No words can describe how I feel about his book so I decided to provide my favorite quotes. Please read this…
“I’m keeping her, Da.” “Okay, son,” he coaxed. “You keep the girl.” “She makes my heart go, like, whoa.” “Is that right?” he mused. “So bad, Da.” I sighed. “Boom, boom, fucking boom.” I shook my head. “All the time.”
"Boom, boom, fucking boom," I groaned, slapping a hand against my chest. "I'm done for."
With wide eyes, I watched as Johnny unzipped the black coat he was wearing and draped it over my shoulders. "Come on," he said in a coaxing tone as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders, tucked me into his side, and led me out of school. "I'll take care of you."
“Shannon like the river. Will you please be my friend? “
"Hi, Johnny." "Boom, boom, fucking boom, Da," I groaned, slapping a hand against my chest. "I'm done for."
“I think I need you for keeps,” he slurred. “I think I need you for keeps, too,” I confessed.
He smiled down at me. “Hi, Shannon.” “Hi, Johnny,” I whispered, staring back at him, feeling like my heart was two seconds away from bursting out of my chest.
“Look at me,” he repeated, tone calm and coaxing. I couldn’t. I felt him shift beside me and then his fingers were on my chin, tipping my face up to his. “You’re safe,” he whispered, cupping my cheek in his hand, eyes boring holes straight through my soul. “I promise.”
“Problem was, every time she ran, I found myself chasing right after her, desperate to just be with her.”
“I’m keeping her, Da.”
“If this is love, then it’s you,” he replied, dragging me down to lie beside him. “You are love.” He sighed contently. “Stay with me.” Always. “I’ll stay with you,” I whispered, feeling more in this moment than I could handle....more
Did I finish this book? Or did this book finish me? Divine Rivals most definitely finished me. My gosh, this is some of the most beautiful writing5 ⭐️
Did I finish this book? Or did this book finish me? Divine Rivals most definitely finished me. My gosh, this is some of the most beautiful writing I’ve read in the almost 2 years I’ve been reading consistently. Rebecca Ross’s words are so lyrical and magical. I’m not a person who annotates their books, but I tabbed the life out of this book.
Was I crying in my bed at 2am after finishing this? Yes. Yes I was. Wow, if I hadn’t met Lauren Roberts in person I wouldn’t have known this is her5⭐️
Was I crying in my bed at 2am after finishing this? Yes. Yes I was. Wow, if I hadn’t met Lauren Roberts in person I wouldn’t have known this is her debut novel. Powerless reads as a Romantasy from a seasoned author with a few books under their belt. The way the story put me in a chokehold and refused to let go is something I haven’t experienced in a long time. So now I can say that anything this woman writes I’m buying. I don’t care if I have to tackle an old woman for the last copy.
