I like that in an alternate universe the ending is somewhat the same, pretty interesting.

Loved it. I haven't read the series in years and it has reignited my love for it. A definite must read!

3.5 stars!!
Basically just a “what if?” Scenario for the first book of the series, this book just reiterates that Callum and Sephy are literally star crossed lovers. No matter what happens fate is never on their side :(
I DIDNT BAWL MY EYES OUT (this time) WIN FOR ME IG
Also loved the nostalgic feel (even though it’s tragic) it’s been two years since I finished the first noughts and crosses book and I’m still very much grieving Callum.

4,5 stars - This made me fall in love with Malorie Blackman's writing all over again when it comes to the Noughts & Crosses series, but also, MB is absolutely SICK FOR THIS ENDING HOW COULD SHE--
