This was one of the first queer books I read so it holds a really special place in my heart. I reread it for a book club and it's even better than I remembered.

 This book:

-made me so emotional that I screamed out loud at one point and cried during the end of the Acknowledgements

-was a learning experience that I personally should not read something without spoilers

-was a pageturner

-has a very exciting ending

this book was kinda disappointing ngl but also the total one-sidedness of the enemies-to-lovers of it all was Extremely funny to me. crier was twirling her hair and going 🥺😍 ayla is soooo pretty i wonder if she likes me 🥰🥰🥰 and meanwhile ayla was thinking abt her brutal murder. unintentional comedy gold

i understand the hype!! Crier and Ayla not only make for a dynamic relationship, but they are both unique protagonists. the writing is so immersive and each character has their own story. the plot itself can get confusing at times, but that is because the characters are learning as we are. so many beautiful quotes as well. let’s get to that sequel!!!
