This book was incredibly slow, slower than I expected, and wasn't quite what the summary led me to believe it would be. Because of that, I struggled through the first half. But eventually, once I accepted the book for what it is, I did find myself enjoying it....more

It was entertaining to read in the moment, but I know that 6 months from now, I won't remember a thing.
Maybe if I was a Shakespeare girlie, I would be more obsessed with this. And perhaps, if I read more analytically. But I'm not, so I feel like many references and allusion were wasted on me. ...more

In the rare moments that I give a romance book 4 stars, I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. But this was so sweet, it warmed my anti-romance heart.
This also had my least favorite trope in it, and I didn't mind?!?! (view spoiler)[It helps that they dropped it a 1/3 of the way in. (hide spoiler)]

This was not my planned first read of 2024, but things happen and I'm kinda glad it was.
This book had me smiling and kicking my feet the entire time. It's too bad that there were way to many pop culture references in this book, and a few lines of dialogue that made me cringe, or else this might have even been a 5 star....more

It is a huge, huge shame this book suffers from poor editing. This book has so many important things to say, but the editing choices can make it hard to persevere through a particular section of the story.
Other reviews share similar sentiments as I do, so I'm just echoing them. This book was split into a past and present portions. The parts in the past were brilliant and where the author's talents truly shone.
The parts in the present were the complete opposite. They were often times confusing and contained a crowded cast of unmemorable characters. The dialogue was continuous and choppy, and didn't flow like an actual conversation would.
One or two more rounds of edits is what Crystal Smith Paul and this book deserves....more

Part One? 5 stars.
Part two? Barely making it to 3 stars.
