Friends Without Benefits

Sometimes I wish I could do reviews in emojis because this one would consist of a bunch of heart-eyes and fire emojis. Nico is hot. And he loves Elizabeth so much, it's freaking precious. The tension between them is off the charts. I'll admit there were moments that Elizabeth was incredibly frustrating but she more than redeemed herself by the end. Loved this one!

I don't know why, but I find the KitC books in general less... accessible than the Winston books. But that's probably just me.

I wasn't sure if a) I wanted to read the book, and b) if I did read it, if I was going to like it. Because of the glimpses of Elizabeth I got in other books, and so far I felt a bit meh about her.
Why did I read it anyway? Because of the glimpses of Nico I got in other books.

I'm still not sure I really like her :), but I did like the story, and she and Nico complement each other well. Also, Bonus point for a meddling Italian mother.

The whole Elizabeth-losing-it-when-Nico-did-his-Italian-shtick reminded me of A Fish Called Wanda, and in my mind, I saw John Cleese declaring “Molotov!”from the bottom of his heart.

All in all, it was an equally beautiful, sad, funny, romantic and whimsical story.

I am still undecided about the rest of the KitC books I haven't read yet (except for MoI - that's on pre-order, because... Kat and Dan).
