Loved this book! Definitely in my top 3 favourite books! The cliff hanger was amazing! Definitely need to read the next one now! I accidentally read this one instead of the 1st but oh well! Was such a good book!

I really liked this book. The Poems were honest, raw and real! I thought they were absolutely beautiful and inspiring. My one of my favourites from the book was one called “Yellow”. This book made me fall in love with poetry and inspired me so much!

I really liked this book. I finished it in 5 hours. The romance was a little too slow-paced for me but was still good. Made me giggle a lot at the insults they come up with and witty comments!

I liked this book very much, however I think the romance was a little too slow, slow-burn for me. Was good all the same! Used a lot of technicalities and technical words, which was a little out my brain capacity 🙊😅 Was such a good book! I really connected with Bel as I believed their situation as all the rest of them as very relatable to me.

I love the Harry Potter books! I loved the movies too! Quick reminder: Always read the books before you watch it.
