A review by beviltiska_romantike
Something Spectacular by Alexis Hall

5.0

Of course, I loved it, since Alexis Hall is an auto-buy or, in this instance, auto-arc author to me. Loved to meet Valentine and Bonny again, and I loved even more that it was Peggy's story - after Something Fabulous I felt that she deserved her own story and her own happiness. And here we meet them - spectacular Orfeo and what a complicated character they were: dazzling, selfish, vulnerable, proud and dramatic, perfect fit to Peggy's reliability, down-to-earthiness, generosity and loving heart. The story itself is a bit lighter than Something Fabulous, though it retains this absurdly ridiculous (in a funny way) tone, and at the same time touches many sensitive topics. Yes, sometimes it gets messy, but then suddenly everything falls into place. I laughed and cried a bit, sometimes felt dazed and curious, bet mostly I had a smile on my face. 4.5/5

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange of honest review.
