I didn't expect much from this. My friend gave it to me saying she didn't even finish it. But I ended up actually really liking it. I liked the premise of it, i loved the snippets of their relationship. I didn't quite understand why Neal would stay with Georgie all these years but that's what love is. It's unexplainable. Also i hated Seth. Like i didn't understand why Georgie was best friends with him and he just seemed like kind of an asshole. Also I'd love to see a part 2 to this where we'd see Georgie and Neal actually working through their issues. But overall i did love how soft the book made me feel. The love i felt from Georgie towards Neal. It even made me cry a bit a few times there.

I'm trying to finish off books I've owned for more than a decade but never actually read.
Honestly i just didn't vibe with it. I found the main character creepy and I'm really over these love at first sight stories. Especially when it's not followed by "and now we have to actually work on our relationshil" but is rather the "love at first sight will make me ignore all the 🚩🚩🚩"
I get that this is rainbow's first book but jeez I'd rather not

I wil lsay I'm not much of a crime thriller reader. It's not really my thing.
However the first 3/4 of the book were great. I enjoyed the switching between now and then. I thought the three narrators had all distinct voices. Ben was so beautifully stupid and teenagery. I occasionally found it funny even.
But I gotta be honest the ending really disappointed me. After all this build up I expected a bit more. It felt like the resolution/reveal came out of nowhere and it was all tied up with a bow all too neatly in my honest opinion. Like it was such a let down after such a build up.

Even after everything Russian regime is doing in Ukraine i am still surprised at the level of cartoon evil it manages to be. Evil laboratories that work exclusively on the most deadly poisons ane then agents that poison people with it all over the world. That's some superman villain plot or some shit no?
No but for real I've known about the work that bellingcat has been doing for a while. But it's still nice to see how such an organisation nei a whole new field came to be. I have friends from places like Yemen, Ukraine, Palestine, Iran and Russia and i see their desperation of the state of affair in their countries. Hopefully OSINT and organisation like Bellingcat will move the world towards better and quicker justice in the world.
