É o segundo livro da Cecelia Ahern que eu leio, e para ser sincera preferi o primeiro (“Para sempre, talvez” ou “Love, Rosie” em inglês).
Custou-me muito acabar o livro... A história é sobre uma mulher chamada Sandy, quando ela é criança uma vizinha da idade dela desaparece e ninguém consegue explicar o seu desaparcimento. Depois disso a personagem principal fica obsecada em encontrar coisas (porque é assim que funciona, enfim), e quando se torna adulta começa a exercer a profissão de detetive privado que procura pessoas.
Parecia que ía a ser uma história bastante interessante sobre uma mulher que se perde e vai parar a um lugar chamado Aqui, onde todas as coisas perdidas vão parar e vai encontrar lá alguém especial e tal e ela finalmente vai encontrar paz... NAO! Ela perde-se e fica toda maluca! Não estou a spoilar nem pouco... Achei o livro demasiado longo e chato! Que o próximo seja melhor...
I loved this book!
Who doesn't have some regrets..? I think all of us have them, some can deal with them for others it is the biggest issue, and it can consume them to the point of no return. This is basically what happens to our MC. She is so obsessed with her life not being the best version that she ends up dead. In her in-between stage, she is invited to see alternative versions of her life.
This was a great read. I understand why people will not like it but for me, it was on point! I loved her exploring the different perspectives and understand better life and how important is to live.
Honestly, I don't know what to think about this book... It started soft and fluffy, however halfway through everything changed drasticly. At some point I was reading mafia romance without understanding how I get here and what is actually happening!
The author tried to write about everything: brother's best friend (whitch was useless!), grumpy hero (I found it a little anoying) and the mafia part (whitch was too much for my taste).
Overall I think the characters aren't bad written, but the story is a little over the place.
I don't know why it took me so much finishing this book, but it was good.
I prefered the first part than the second one, as it draged...
This book was really good!
It focuses a lot about family. How it is important to remember our past but be able to change our future. We are our parents creations however we can also mold ourselves during all our life.

This was so cute and amazing!
However, friends-to-lovers is not my favourite troupe.
This was so sad and beautiful... Loved it so much.
Definetly one of my favourites books of 2023!
I was really excited for this book... however it disappointed me somewhere at 70%...
I enjoyed the slow burn and building up the relashionship. However, I started to notice that the main characters have zero chemistery.
I liked Aaron at the biginnig, but I really started to dislike him when they first kiss! He was so inappropriate! And Catalina... well... she was okay, I guess. Just a little annoying for my taste.
There were a lot of good ideas: dragons, shapeshifters, and an island with mystery. Unfortunately not for me... I don't understand the main character and I don't feel connected to her story. There is a little world-building and not a lot of character building. We have a school but I don't actually see her learning something. There is love somewhere but I don't feel nor see it.
I feel like this is some kind of fanfiction and not an actual book. And this is not the first book of the author, so I am a little bit disappointed.
It's a no no for me.
This was so interesting and different ! It has a really bold statements but it is normal for the time it was written. Really good read.
A super generic but cute romance about two teenagers that are not supposed to like each other.
There is an app that can predict your best matchup, and Zach and Anna are not the best options for each other, because they are kinda opposites. To prove in their psychology class that the app can be manipulated, their classmates ask them to fake that they are dating so the app can predict that they are actually a match.
Really enjoyed the idea of the book! But for me I needed more, the book it's too simple and short. There were some times, that I felt that the story wasn't fluid and it was just explaining what is happening and not what are they feeling. If the author explored more feelings it would be a great book!

Este livro acabou de sair e eu vi tanta gente a lê-lo no Goodreads que não resisti e também decidi dar uma vista de olhos.
Aqui temos história de uma escritora - January, que desde pequena acreditava no “Felizes para sempre” e dedicou a sua vida quase toda a escrever romances desse tema. No entanto, a sua vida dá uma reviravolta quando o pai morre e ela descobre que ele teve uma amante durante anos. O mundo do felizes para sempre aos olhos dela, fica destruído, e ela tem um bloqueio criativo e não consegue escrever o livro que deverá está proponto em 3 meses.
Para melhorar a situação, o pai deixou-lhe uma casa na praia, onde pelos vistos passava os tempos com a sua amante. Perdida da vida e desesperada para limpar a casa e vendê-la January descobre que o seu vizinho, é o seu rival de escrita da escola e posteriormente da vida - Augustus. Este escrtitor, despreza o felizes para sempre e sempre gozou com o facto dela acreditar nisso. Portanto, já desesperada com a situação que está, ainda mete-se com a última pessoa que lhe apetecia.
É um livro diferente daquilo que eu estava a espera, pensei que fosse mais leve e não tocasse em tópicos tão complicados. Mas obviamente que goste do livro e dei uma avaliação muito alta. Contudo, para mim ainda faltaram algumas coisas que talvez preenchecem melhor a história.
The story tells us about a guy that falls in love with Layla, the kind, spontaneous, crazy, and beautiful Layla. Their life is perfect until she gets shot by his obsessive ex-girlfriend. After this accident, Layla is trying to get her life together BUT she is different, forgetful, and with all other mental problems. To reignite the sparkle and help Layla with her healing, Leeds decides to come back to the place where they met. However, instead of everything getting better it's all getting worst.
This book kept me hooked and I was really interested to understand what is actually happening. I think that maybe I gave too many stars for this book but I think it was kinda original and unexpected. And not all the MC need to be good people. BUT... justify bad behavior and poor choices with “love”... I don't know!
Leeds loves Layla, however, he doesn't treat her that way. Nothing in his behavior shows that. He is quite self-absorbed although he thinks that he treats Layla really well. Because the whole story is written from his perspective it is quite difficult to understand what is actually she feels and maybe that's why I got the feeling that he is self-absorbed. I also didn't feel the connection between the MC. I don't understand how they fell in love.
Once again, it looks like I didn't enjoy the book, but I actually did. The story was interesting and captivating, BUT it shouldn't be a romance... If it is a thriller/mystery - the plot is okay! But as romance, I don't think so.
I don't recommend this book to people who are not comfortable with cheating and lying relationships.
I liked this book! I am a big fan of science fiction and this one is a classic. It has an amazing world development however the story isn't really long nor special.
In this world, the industrial revolution took a big step into human evolution, also technology is more important than emotions and reproduction. Humans are all made artificially and society gives them a classification accordingly to their job status.
This book has a lot of interesting ethical questions and shows a world really similar to ours with some twists.
4,5 stars
Really intriguing book! I enjoyed the romance and all the ideas behind the magic system.
I think it is a great YA fantasy book! One of my best this year, for sure!
This was so much fun! I love Teagam Hunter hooks, they are genuinely funny and real.
Can't wait to read the next book!
This story was so amazing. It is sad and happy at the same time!
Totally deserves all the hype !
It was okay. This is my 4th book from Vi Keeland and I feel that she uses the same formula for her books. Unfotunatly I don't like that formula at all...
