Rated up to a 4! I'm glad I went into this completely blind, otherwise I think there are parts during which I would've gotten bored with allll the science speak. Also, I am extremely, extremely unsatisfied with the ending and therefore cannot rate it higher.

Fast read but whoaaa was it messy

4.5/5 - absolutely tore through this. Overall incredible story and I loved the setting. Only thing that left me unsatisfied was the ending - I needed it more wrapped up.

4.5/5 docked a little because I really hate when the main character's bff (or in this case sister) hides things for the majority of the story. However!!! This was very cute and I did actually tear up a little at the end and I did resonate with Nora's big sister/mom vibes. And the banter!!! Idk that anyone does it better than Emily Henry.

4.5/5 really, really enjoyed this!!! It felt like a fast paced read and I only got slightly bored a few times. If I wasn't interested in Greek mythology I don't know that I would have enjoyed it as much - especially with all the heavy/ graphic parts.

3.5/5 it was cute enough and a fast read but after 75% of the way I just didn't really care anymore and

Okay so idk what it is, I enjoyed the premise of the book but then parts of it seemed unnecessary like the fact that she couldn't read the novels and sometimes I felt that the main character was literally so dumb (ie with cell service) but I did want to keep reading to find out what happens. I didn't really care for the romance and I hated the befriending of the ex's new SO what is that about?! Anyways 3.75/5

(I will say I really enjoyed that the horrible ex shares a name with my horrible ex, I found it extremely satisfying

4.75/5 probably one of the most wholesome books I've ever read!!!

The male love interest was a little too cinnamon roll for me (prob says more about me than the writing itself lol) but I really enjoyed! Yours truly was my fave of the 3 though.

Is this a life changing memoir? No. Is it extremely enjoyable and nostalgic - yes. If you're an HP lover I 10/10 recommend (the audiobook preferably)

Tbh I prob would've liked it more if I read it. Would not recommend the audiobook version. I had the ick the entire time and the last 7 chapters were literally so unnecessary but the romance was cute for what it was up until then!

Tbh I had to get through the first 3rd of the book to actually start enjoying it. If you let go of how unrealistic some of the scenarios are then it's a lovely read

This book has potential but the world building was extremely lacking and every scene was so fast that it was impossible to focus. The last 20% of the book was probably the best part because it felt actually focused for the first time.

I wanted to like the main character but she was all over the place with her feelings. As for the other characters, for as long as the book was, I feel like I learned almost nothing about anyone else.

3.5/5 overall I thoroughly enjoyed but it took a bit for me to get into it and the main character's best friend was legitimately so annoying for the first half of the book

It's giving horny teenager. I'm assuming it's why this series falls in the smut category and it's just not what I was expecting/wanted given the rest of the series is not like this.

Also someone said in their review that the characters completely change in the last 3 books and I couldn't agree more. I feel like they've become more insufferable and conceited and annoying and it seems like the author just got lazy halfway through.

I'm just annoyed because the series has potential and should've just ended way earlier!!!!

Probably closer to 2.5/5. This was pretty boring and I'm just trying to finish the series

4.5/5 - absolutely no notes on the first half of the book. Incredible pacing and storytelling. Then it dragged on and off for a little bit and then ended just a TAD too early!!!! I'm sad it's over

Updated to say the audiobook was incredible - especially to have it read in a true southern accent

Better than the last novella but I just don't really see the purpose of this in terms of furthering the story and at this point I'm just trying to finish the series

No I literally loved this. So much of this resonated so strongly and my unrealistic expectations for a husband have just become more unrealistic

Omg I'm finally done this book was so LONG. I feel like honestly Ruhn & Lidia's storyline should've just been its own book because it felt rushed and unnatural and I feel like it could've been better on its own and then the book would've been sooo much shorter. The last 100 pages saved this from being 3 stars.

3.5/5 - I am still enjoying the series but idk this felt like most YA one so far and I think it was all of Kenji's narrations that drove my crazy. Also do NOT listen to the audiobook version ever lol

Loved it, super easy read and the characters were main lovely humans. A little too nicely wrapped up at the end and a little too fast of a resolution but I appreciated that it was more than just a love story.

I actually really enjoyed this - why do people think it's overhyped

Definitely an easy/fast read and I appreciated the twist but it felt a little rushed and not actually solved and I didn't like that

Okay 4.5 - the miscommunication started to drive me nuts and sorry but the main character becoming best friends with the ex didn't sit right. Other than that I LOVED this book and resonated with the male main character which I did not think would happen but that made me appreciate it much more.

Also it could've ended after the first conflict resolution I don't think it needed to keep going.
