THE BEST ROMCOM I'VE READ IN YEARS!!!
I've lived through SO many romance novels over the last few years but I devour and forget them within a week but this WILL STICK FOREVER. This is a book I will be rereading for the rest of my life... It was so good I painstakingly stretched it out as much as my self-control allowed (not that much). HARD TO PUT DOWN is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
The plot is fantastic! I am SO bored of reading about the perfect girl that's lonely but lies about wanting to stay single when in reality all she's putting her mental energy towards is marriage and babies. The fact that it's a LITERARY AGENT who's aware of all the TROPES makes it so unbearably delicious to read I may PERISH.
ENEMIES TO LOVERS ANYONE? PERFECTLY EXECUTED! Their feud makes sense and the sheer ANGST provided by their situation will leave you MAD WITH HUNGER in the best way possible.
THE ATTRACTION MAKES SENSE. It feels grounded, real, and solid. None of that Opposites Attract, even when we have nothing in common or to talk about bullsh*t. IT IS SO SEXY OH MY GOD. ABSOLUTELY ELECTRIFYING. And this is coming from a person who reads absolute FILTH on a daily basis. THIS GETS YOU ON A SOUL LEVEL NOT JUST HORNY.
As someone who lives far apart from their sister this book made me TEAR UP SEVERAL TIMES. Such an accurate representation of the UNENDING LOVE (and mischief) of siblings (who like each other, I know it's not like that for everyone).
On that note THE CHARACTERS are all BELIEVABLE, DISTINGUISHABLE, WELL FLESHED OUT, and an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT! These PEOPLE will live on in my head and I'll catch myself wondering how each of their days are going while I'm wandering aimlessly through the city.
DO NOT HESITATE FOR A SECOND, TREAT YOURSELF AND GET THIS BOOK!!!
I picked up this book because a friend suggested it... and I'd seen it all over the Internet. It was alright. Beauty and the Beast and Twilight in a trench coat. Don't get me wrong I love Beauty and the Beast and as a teenager was obsessed with Twilight (my tastes have changed since then, somewhat). My friend was raving about the spiciness but since I've explored far spicier titles, it didn't make me more than raise an eyebrow and smirk wink, wink. It's great for people just getting into spicy fantasy. I hope the next books in the series develop further both story-wise and spicy-wise.
I loved the premise of it. However, I read it in my native language and the translation was absolute garbage. I'm guessing that the original runs a lot smoother and the word choices are a lot better. If you're looking for a fun, light, summer read — it's perfect, just don't expect to find infinite wisdom in it.
