oh, you're so boring.
My bad, I mis took this book for adult but in reality it's about some 18-19 year old girl and apparently a 21+ something dude. Even though the age gap is not as horrific, but the dialogues. God damn the dialogues!!!
She: what do they call you?
He: cold
She: oh i love winter
He: i'm colder than winter
Not only that, but this one had fmc indian rep because the author herself is half indian and she obviously took real life inspo. But then i saw all the negativity and i just-i am tired of desi diasporas painting their home and people in bad picture to feed off white prejudices. It doesnt help to fend off claims made about us.
i have no idea why i read this but with every chapter i was like this is the last one then i kept reading the next
I cant believe this book has 4.5 ratings
It felt like something id read on wattpad when i was 14
also no chemistry or sexual tension/spark of any sort between the characters
dnfed at 66%
this felt like a better version of punk 57 by penelope douglass.
Wasnt the greatest romance book but still fun to read. The writing was pretty good which made it more enjoyable to read. Im glad i looked past the name and the cover
picked this book up for some steamy romance and ended up feeling more depressed than ever

I evidently bought this based on the prettiness of the cover and hadnt read the back of this. It's so dull, so boring that i wanted to throw it out my balcony. i never seem to enjoy british authors except for beth o'leary. the author is kind of redundant in describing her characters. Poppy is tall, we get it.
will probably donate my copy
this book has confirmed to me, more or less, that I have grown out of my smut era. Sure, i do enjoy contemporary romance books, the tension, the angst, but straight up smut has been recently putting me in a slump. The idea of the book, or the synopsis always intrigues me and hence why i opt to read it but half way through i get tired and find myself falling in a slump.
This was not a bad book, but it wasn't great either. Two years ago i would have enjoyed it more, but i liked it fine.
Someone recommended this as “a book similar to magnolia parks angst” bitch where?
First, this was pure paedophilia, rape and taking advantage of a minor? The author tried to twist it around to convince that it's the right trope but all she did was convince me that this man is nothing but a fucking pervert
Fuck this shit. I wasted so much of my time reading this only to get that ending. I kept waiting for it to get better but alas. I am never getting my 4 hours back
this was so adorable. not the best I have read but beautiful drawings and illustrations. the message that sometimes its okay to be different, because a certain special event may not occurs because you were normal. that was incredible. a much needed reminder
im p sure bayou was written a hundred times over. i thought this was an emotional rollercoaster of a ride but where are my tears. caleb had an easy way out. he shouldnt have died. he should have suffered more
Worst attempt at ex-boyfriend's-older-brother/fake-dating trope
I dont even know where to begin lol
dash is the definition of himbo. it was refreshing in that sense to read a about a male character who doesnt have too much depth to him. with that being said, this series has been a complete hit or miss, mostly miss than hit. i enjoyed xander's story but the rest fell very much flat for me. there is literally no chemistry, no connection and no bond. the spice was also tasteless, it felt forced somehow. disappointed
tbh i'd be creeped out by someone developing feelings for me because of the emails they're reading about my personal life
everything went over my head but i did feel really sad about her husband's death and her daughter's illness
1.5/5
i just want to know who called this a romance book? or that this the “greatest” romance book ever? from the characters to the storyline to the ending, it all fell flat for me. I hated every single character. I have to applaud bronte for writing such horrendous characters ngl

though i enjoyed this more than the last one, but it was..just too fucking long. like it wouldn't stop, it wouldn't fucking end. i don't understand why the author has dragged on both books for this long, even though this one was shorter than the last but like, for god's sake, just end already.
I feel like this book had a side that could have been explored more with how the captain of the basketball team was half black. like there was so much potential about his need to prove himself instead of the fact he is a homebody. can anyone with sport knowledge confirm if this really affects the performance? like i don't know, given how the author who wrote this is white, maybe she was afraid of exploring that side but it would have been interesting to see it like that instead of simple doubts about him not being a social butterfly hence not a good enough captain.
anyway i no longer care about the third act conflict and i could care less about how they will resolve it
