So cute

The book was adorable in the end. I loved the whole famous idea and how they were both “rivals” for the same award even though they were far from it the whole time. I loved the little tweets that were directed at each other and how they were trying to tease one another and then would go to their friends and complain about how beautiful the other person was. I feel like there weren’t a lot of conflicts and that when it did happen it wasn’t resolved properly and passed rather quickly. When I first started reading it I wasn’t sure if I would be able to complete it just because of the writing style at the very start, it was a bit simplistic for me but I’m glad I continued to read it until the end. Overall it was an enjoyable read and I had to stop myself a few times from reading it in one sitting so I could enjoy it for longer.

I’m in love with you. I just am—really very much in love with you James. You’re all I’ve thought about, and to be quite honest I have been lost without you. Which is entirely embarrassing on its own but true nonetheless.”
“ Regulus .”
“If she told me she loved me right now it wouldn’t even matter. It wouldn’t matter. Because I love you, James, this is home. You’re home .”



This was so adorable omgggg. I’m back on my marauders grind woo woo. I loved this fic because it felt like a juicy gossip sesh every chapter and it had the perfect balance of texting and real life.

Jegulus in every universe. The Wolfstar, Rosekiller, and Pandalily were amazing too. I love love. My heart is so full of them.

4.5/5
wow...
I liked this sm
Seriously, I giggled, kicked my feet and blushed my way through this
the angst tho :(((
The plot was nice, if a bit messy sometimes, but I felt like it was a bit too unfocused?
THE PROSE THOUGH. My godddd. So many pretty quotes.
but at the same time... the grammar... the copyeditor in me was suffering through this tbh

Idk why all loads of my marauder fic reviews disappeared help? Anyways, just remember enjoying this a lot & pretty sure I read after crimson rivers ended when I was searching low and high for any jegulus content.

This was cute and light to read! (Exactly what I needed after too many sad marauders ffs with mcd :,)). But I'm still not sure how to feel about the texting au... because all I could think about is how often they're all being in one and the same room and are still texting each other instead of talking??😭 idk not my cup of tea I think. Besides that it was really entertaining hihi.
BUT WHERE WAS MARY UHM?! She didn't exist in this one unfortunately and I really missed her 3

Crying, screaming, kicking my feet. A Jegulus text-fic and it’s soo good

[A quirked up white boy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't usually do texting fics but this was cute

[Shelly Parfax]

I'm a sucker for Jegulus fics, especially Fame AUs, but this one is so poorly written I couldn't even get past the 50%
