I liked Tweet Cute but this was so much better. Emma Lord's writing has improved noticeably!
This book started out just okay to me but then it slowly got better and better. This has enough family drama to rival the haunting of hill house 💀
I loooooooved the characters especially Finn and Connie (my aro queen ❤❤). Also, Savvy and Micky were so cute, I would kill for them 😭
This gave me the same feelings as Foolish Hearts and I am ALWAYS looking for that. (It's time we accept that authors named Emma are just superior!) By the end, I literally couldn't stop smiling.
Abby's relationship with Poppy almost made me CRY which literally never happens...
And Abby and Savvy (that rhymes!) are sister goals. Also, LEO. He is SO precious, my heart can't take it. Abby and Leo were childhood-friends-to-lovers excellence. They kind of also gave me star-crossed-lovers vibes.
This book made me weirdly nostalgic like my heart is so full???
I loved how this wasn't just straight up a rom-com, it focused on so many other relationships too. Emma Lord should do more of that!
This book just gave me a lot of hope. I related to Abby and her struggles SO much. I don't wanna sound cliché and say “it tackles so many important topics” but it really does. I think a lot of people (especially young people) will resonate with this. The premise is crazy but the execution is amazing.
2.25 ??????
It was an easy read, and I loved Leo. Unfortunately the rest (the disappointing lack of relationship building with her new sister and the unbelievable adoption storyline) failed to engage.
this would be a perfect book if not for-
• the unnecessary harry potter references
• the harmful aromantic rep. granted it is not explicitly said that connie is aro but it is heavily implied. and yeah...miss lord really did her dirty.
but oh well. i still liked it!

If I hadn't enjoyed Lord's first book so much I wouldn't have found this so disappointing but here we are. From the opening scene, which could have been much cleaner and consequently engaging, to the epilogue, which was clichéd and predictable, I was bored. Next!
I didn't enjoy this at all, I thought the writing was juvenile, the characters unlikable, and the plot ridiculous. The worst part about it was the adoption story, this review is basically how I feel about it.
Very teenage like, in all senses: from the main characters to their approach to life and view of problems. Cute, even if forgettable.
