I really enjoyed this story and the characters, Helen and Grant felt so profoundly human and the situation they were faced with really had me thinking.
This book had way more steamy scenes than I was expecting(the cover and title didn't give me that vibe), but I had fun reading them and the rest of the story.
I also really liked having a sneek peak of what happens in the authors room of a TV Show.
I'm not a fan of having a wedding at the end of a romance book, because for me this is not the only way a love story can get it's "happy ending". With that being said, I enjoyed the proposal scene, but it could have been a move in with me or let's get a puppy scene and I would have been okay with it.
2,5 ⭐️ I liked the beginning and thought the Riva sibling story was interesting, but the number of times I had to say "a**hole" out loud to continue reading because the behavior of the guys in this was mostly a**hole behavior...
Also, why did we need to know the backstory of so many unimportant side characters?(and I'm using therm "side character" in the wider sense because most of them were background character that didn't even need a name, so no: their backstory was not necessary...)
The party was so stressful to read about, I was getting anxiety just anticipating what had yet to happen, not a fun experience for me...
Otherwise, I have to say that the drama was there, but I was not satisfied by that second half it somehow felt a little repetitive even though so much was happening...

Beaucoup de larmes versées lors de cette lecture.
Je ne sais pas si c'est parce que je suis plus vieille ou parce que ce livre est plus dure à lire que la trilogie originale, mais cette lecture a été très émotive pour moi.
Un autre chef d'oeuvre de la part de Suzanne Collins ❤️🥹
Un amalgame de tout ce qu'il y a de plus beau et de tout ce qu'il y a de plus laid dans le monde, des personnages attachants, une histoire déchirante, un message important.
Une histoire dont on connaît la fin avant même de commencer notre lecture, mais pendant laquelle on ne peut s'empêcher d'espérer une fin plus heureuse pour les personnages... 💔😭

This took me back to my short time in Scotland a few years ago. The coziness and welcoming feeling I got from this story, it's characters and it's setting along with the beautiful description of food our characters made were so heartwarming. I am surprised to say that I fell in love with Thistlecross and it's friendly and passionnate inhabitants.
3,5 ⭐️ The last chapters were so much more interesting than the rest of the book. I appreciated the friendships in this, and seeing the different stages after a breakup was interesting. I will surely read another book from this author, but this book was not that special to me. The group of friends gave me a little bit the feeling of watching the characters in a sitcom like Friends or How I Met Your Mother with less attachment to the characters.

Ce livre me donnait vraiment l'impression de lire le scripte d'un film Hallmark. Pas nécessairement une mauvaise chose, mais pas non plus groundbreaking. J'ai beaucoup aimé le début, mais à un certain moment j'ai trouvé que l'histoire s'essouflait, j'ai aussi trouvé que plusieurs questions soulevés dans ce livre n'ont jamais eut de réponse.
C'était une lecture sympathique, mais sans être très marquante.
