i was obsessed!!! i absolutely love how their story is told over the years that they are at school, and the author takes the right amount of time within each year too - the way friendships are told, and who are your truest friends, i definitely feel like Iakov and Zaro were the truest truest. and how it was a different type of rivals to those that are typically written, like they were rivals but respected tf out of each other, this man said a victory was only worthy if against her 😭 the academic part of this book was also really fun to read about.

now, ZACHARY!!! ohmy, this man could TALK!! the love he had for her, his thoughts and feelings, his nicknames for her (+multiple love declarations), his personal growth and love for his sister too, as well as giving theo space and silent reassurance when she had her issues with food!!!! ahh that was such a hit home moment for me, so i need a man like that fr!! theodoraaaa, my ice princess, i love this girl idc, i wanna give her a hug so badly AND WHEN SHE CUT HER HAIR 😭🩵 i loved their dynamics and was so happy when they inevitably ended up together - the quotes were amazing this book!
Spoiler🤞Mr Ambrose gets his wedding invite🤞
i cannot wait for Iakov and Zaro's next!! 💙
