A review by giuliaghoulia
Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage
5.0
did i consume this book (in a day might i add) or did this book consume me!!!!
answer: this book consumed me
i was giggling, crying, kicking my feet, blushing and audibly gasping the entire time i was reading this book. i knew gus and teddy would be worth the wait and y'all are in for a treat because nothing is as it seems! lyla has some tricks up her sleeve and it left me GAGGED.
gus and teddy were everything to me and more. tbh if i loved them less, I would be able to talk about it more. they are a you gotta read it for yourself type of couple because my words are not enough for how perfectly matched they are and how incredible their relationship development was to experience. they invented "you're so annoying *aggressively starts making out*" but also "i can't believe you were right in front of me the whole time."
they also have the same self-imposed roles as the caretakers in their family and friends' lives and it was just so wonderful to see them getting taken care of (by each other!!) for a change.
yes ofc geddy is the star of this show, and while i am obsessed with them beyond comprehension, this isn't why this book is so special to me. lyla sage captured the true pain and beauty of female friendships and how much it hurts when your relationship with your best friend changes when they find a partner. i related so much to teddy's struggles with her own identity, her fear of being left behind while everyone moves on with their lives, and the unease with her own place in the lives of the people she loves, especially emmy's. lyla put it best with this line: "i'm happy for her, but sad for me," and when I tell you i burst into tears bc that's exactly how it feels like. temmy (teddy x emmy) are my favorite fictional best friends to ever exist and they truly define the terms soulmates.
god i love this series and these characters so much. it's such a special world that makes me feel so safe. every book transports me to rebel blue and turns this miami girl into the small town cowgirl I know I am in my heart! this is my comfort series and lyla sage is my comfort author. i can always rely on her for a laugh and a good cry.
thank you dial press and netgalley for this eARC, it's out 11/5!!
