Feeling physically ILL after finishing this one.

I saw the last line everywhere and thought I knew how it was going to end - I didn't and the ending was better AND worse.

These books just keep getting better tell my why I cried the last hour of this book

First half of the book and second half of the book felt like two very different stories - loved first half (4 stars), second half was only okay (2.5 stars).

Frieda write a MC who doesn't absolutely suck challenge

Sydney has clearly never listened to My Favorite Murder

Is this girl EVER gonna stop getting caught???

Maybe two of my fav MCs in the Emily Henry-verse, so much internal growth it was so lovely to read. Also she really dove right in in the beginning and I'm not complaining. Love how all of her MCs have a love of books

1.5 stars - Katie and Maddy don't COME FOR ME

Her best book truly I'm gonna go cry into my pillow for the next week BYEEEE

Those of y'all that waited YEARS for CC3 after finishing this are so brave and deserve an award

HBM the witchy woman you are

She really said I'm going out with a bang

This book would be perfect if it was like 200 pages shorter I'm sorry

WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earns a 3 but little Isabella gets a whole damn star

1 whole star for the Gigi plotline that was fab. Love a cliffhanger ending.

All to be said this book deserves to be banned tysm

You're my mate, for fucks sake!!!!

If they'd cut out the bit with the uncle, this book would be like 10x less problematic lol

Vibrant

You're free girl!!

Realizing I never wrote a review but THIS BOOK WRECKED ME. It is so satisfying going through life with our protagonists, really feeling like we're living in their experiences, and, naturally, gaming a bit along the way.

I just reread this in March 2024, and I found myself so drawn in again.

For lovers of excellent books, stories that pull at your heartstrings, and gamers alike.

Meh

I hate many things but most especially insecure men

Men are the wooooooorst

Can't wait to read the third
