I loved it. It was one of my favorites when I read it as a kid and I’m surprised how much I didn’t remember. Loved the relationship between them but it took me a while, almost towards the end, to feel the cuteness. It reminds me of a current relationship, did not expect to find how much this book defined me and my life. Also, having watched Wednesday so recently, it was wild seeing the similarities. The opposite roommates and their cute friendship, the dark cold girl from the weird family with seemingly no feelings. The first time I read it I gave it five stars and I was thinking of lowering it to 4 on this reread but that scene where holmes kisses watson and tells him that’s all she can do really warmed my heart. It was an amazing journey warming up to the character even though they drove me crazy every other page.
