The ambiance in this book is so cozy and the characters are so heartwarming and wonderful. I could feel the color contrast between before and after the island in Linus's life. I recommend this book greatly, it has a feel of home, no matter where your home is!
reread: 4,5⭐️still love the characters and the universe but I could not give this book 5 stars for this second read, it's personnal preferences more than anything. I really hope I enjoy the sequel as much or even more than this first one!
first read: 5⭐️
I loved the characters and the story. Would I reread it? Probably not, but I had so much fun reading it! Video gaming isn't part of my life, but I sure enjoy peaking into that world! Big topics were discussed but the balance between the serious stuff and the rest of the story was just perfect. It made me think while still keeping me entertained and interested in the story. Would 100% recommend!
Cute, mais un peu trop de retours en arrière à mon goût.
Je vais sûrement lire la suite quand même, car j'ai envie de savoir ce qui se passera ensuite et j'imagine que les retours dans le passé n'était que pour mettre en situation l'histoire, les personnages et leurs relations.
Great story and I loved Georgie's character, but Travis was blend and he did not bring much to the story character wise. And there were a little too much emphasis on the sex scenes compared to the other parts of the story, I felt a little like I was reading an erotic novel.
This was a lighthearted book and I enjoyed it, I will probably read the next book in the series because I care about Rosie and Bethany's stories, the All for us club is a great thing to focus on in the series.
I loved this book! Knowing the author is also in the autistic spectrum, makes the character of Kai even more realistic. I will surely read another book by this author, I had a great time with this one!
I love this kind of on the long run love story, I feel like these are much more close to the reality and you can always get more attach to the characters that way.
DNF at 65%
I don't wanna finish it, not because it's so good that I want it to last forever, but because I can't stand Penny and her objectification of Caleb. It's been a long time since I last chose to DNF a book, but I think it's the right choice for me and my sanity! The first half was not that bad, but now it's in almost every sentence and it feels like torture for me to keep reading...
Also Caleb told Penny that he didn't like when people only saw and liked him for his body and she still didn't change her way of seeing him... For someone who feels like people sees her differently because of her own body, she should understand him in that...
Can't stand it so I'm officially DNFing this book, thank you very much... All this time wasted on reading it, it's making me sad for the books I was not reading during that time...
I will be reading other books by Susannah Nix, but for me this book is a solid NO...
Made me think a little bit of Coraline. I liked it but I'm not sure I'm gonna be reading the sequels.
I liked it but not as much as the first one, maybe it's because I read Once upon a broken heart before and I knew how/where some the characters would end up.
This was a great book! It makes you see a side of life that not much people experience in life, it makes you realize how lucky you are to have everything you have. Everybody should want to be a “Mia” when they grow up: accepting, generous, percevering, outspoken, ressourceful, kind and full of home and ideas! I highly recommend anyone to read this beautiful and painfuly real book.
Tellement fantastique, amusant et surprenant! Je revisiterai certainement cet univers avec les tomes suivants de la série. J'ai bien aimé le concept de la malédiction et les indices sur certains sujets qui on été donnés au compte-goutte. Les révélations et l'histoire si bien tissée ont très bien réussis à me surprendre sur certains points. J'ai adoré la finale et j'ai vraiment hâte de reprendre ma découverte de ce monde merveilleux et des personnages qui y habitent dans le 2e roman de cette merveilleuse série.
