I'm glad i decided to pick up this book.
Honestly I still got confused about who's the author talking about until the 3rd chapters but nvm. The plot was actually good I love how details the stories are. But I think the ending is a little uhh cliffhanging(??) since they didn't actually tell what happened to Jude that made him became πΌπ»πΌπ»
I've grown to love them so much especially Jude and Willem. I feel like I've watched them growing up my whole life. My poor Jude... anyways it didn't get me sobs for hours. Yes I did shed tears a little and had me to stop reading and relax myself. It was a neverending tragedies I'm so proud of Jude for trying and holding until his last breath. Those shits he went through wasn't easy I'm so glad he had people who actually cares and love for him. This book has got me realizing that there are few of peoples who do cares about us but sometimes we can't see it because we resent them. I have my all respect and love for Harold, he lost the people who he loves and cares the most. I'm thankful for Harold and Willem the most for not giving up on Jude, for always being the with him, help and gives all the affection he secretly craves, for being so patient with him all their lives.

I Find Solace While Loving Your Chaos by geminiplaylist
Firstly, that book was SOMETHING considering it's a pretty short story but it was 'full'. The backstory was great, the romance was there, love the little comedies also and the plot twist *cries*. Aya and Nadim really touches my heart (that last chapter wasn't necessary tho I literally cried buckets π₯²π₯²) . The plot was perfect, wasn't messy at all, I read it for only a couple of hours. I've been on reading slump for the past couple of months but this book got me keep turning the pages no joke.

Amelia and Noah is so lovable and their chemistry is damn. The plot was great, i love how it was not just seggs romance, they're actually so cute i love their moments. The family and friends are super great too, i couldn't hate anyone except Susan but there were no heavy conflicts and I'm glad. β they're giving joe and taylor except they actually did work out :DDDD

I love the plot! Jack and Pepper have a great chemistry but too bad there wasnt so much cute crumbs until few last chapters. I was expecting they'd probably be aggressively (lmao) flirting throughout the chapters but it was still cute. Loved it

whoever recommended this book to me, WHY
what even the plot was?? it felt like you were given a topic to make an essay with and you keep spinning the words just make it longer, it was SO boring the plot feels empty, don't get me started at the romance part, the trope isn't troping. just a no from me. π
